Biden wasn’t president yet. These folks aren’t too bright

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

"If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

In the spring, Trump cut $500 million from aid to food banks.

But they had already ordered 94 million pounds of food from the program — all abruptly canceled.

People at food banks noticed. The cuts meant less meat and lighter pickups.

We visualized it:

New photo shows House Democrats in full attendance to stop government shutdown while the Republican side of the chamber is empty.

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020 A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."-Charlie Kirk in 2023, after 6 ppl (inc. 3 children) were shot & killed in a Nashville school

Pediatric Brain Cancer Group to Lose Federal Funding

The 7,000-Step Solution: How Walkable Neighborhoods Save Lives For years, the magic number of 10,000 steps a day has been touted as the path to a healthier life. However, recent research published in The Lancet Public Health provides strong new evidence that…

Walkable cities are good for both planet and human health! As this article from @berkie1.bsky.social explains, daily walks are associated with lower health risks. Building walkable neighborhoods is a public health measure that also reduces transport emissions! This is local level power! #cities 🚶

The conservatives screaming about so-called "woke" history are the ones who couldn't care less about history and never tag a single book. It is never about the content, but about the power to erase history and make minoritized people feel unwelcome.

Trump: "I worked with your friend Bibi...He's a war hero. I guess I am, too. Nobody cares, but I am too."

This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.

Federal mRNA funding cut is 'most dangerous public health decision' ever, expert says Many public health experts and scientists say they are stunned by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars in federal funding for future vaccine develop...

It’s mind boggling how many additional people this administration is killing.

“I have been in this business for over 50 years on the front lines of public health…And I can say unequivocally that this was the most dangerous public health decision I have ever seen made by a government body.”

Defend the Western Arctic from oil and gas drilling Add your name today and tell the Department of the Interior: Don’t trade these essential and sensitive Arctic ecosystems for short-term oil profits.

The Trump administration is moving to strike down protections for 13 million acres of critical wildlife habitat in the Western Arctic for oil and gas drilling. Millions of people have already said ‘no’ to this drilling expansion. This is your chance to join them before the August 4th deadline. ⬇️

Roy Cooper has officially secured the Democrat nomination for North Carolina’s Senate race. A two-term governor with a proven record on healthcare, education, and protecting democracy. Cooper enters as the strongest possible challenger to Trumps MAGA machine. The path to flipping NC just got real 👀

The White House's proposed budget would cut NIH research by billions, including slashes to cancer research.

My new home state Texas is projected to lose $2.1B in economic activity from the budget cuts, including $353M in losses from cuts to cancer research.

How about you?

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Pro-Israeli apologists for their crimes, seeking to portray every critic (including Jewish ones like me) as anti-Semites, often will ask, "Do you believe Israel has a right to exist?" My answer is "Do you believe these murdered Palestinian children had a right to exist?"

U.S.-funded contraceptives worth nearly $10 million are being sent to France from Belgium to be incinerated, after Washington rejected offers from the U.N. and family planning organisations to buy or ship the supplies to poor nations, two sources told Reuters.

Texas Lawmakers Largely Ignored Recommendations Aimed at Helping Rural Areas Like Kerr County Prepare for Flooding Texas lawmakers’ inaction on flood prevention often hits rural and economically disadvantaged communities the hardest, experts said.

Last year, Texas published its first-ever statewide flood response plan. This year the state's legislature ignored the plan. Instead, they voted to spend $51 billion to maintain and provide new property tax cuts. @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Devastating New Poll Shows Almost Everyone Is Unhappy Under Trump Donald Trump has gotten a brutal performance review.

Within the first 7 months, Trump has managed to add trillions to the deficit, eviscerate agencies like the Education Department, rattle the economy, shake our strongest alliances, build concentration camps for his deportation program, and strip popular social programs like Medicaid from millions.
