Dropped cases against LA protesters reveal false claims from federal agents Revealed: records show border patrol gave inaccurate testimony about people it jailed. Prosecutors now face ‘embarrassing’ dismissals

This proves five things:

1. The protests in LA were peaceful
2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary
3. ICE officers lie
4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown
5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case

Republican Nancy Mace says she likes to watch videos of Ice detaining people Congresswoman says she ‘can think of nothing more American’ than Ice dragging people out of court

A top Donald Trump ally handed me a Trump 2028 hat — these people aren’t joking.

If we don’t stop this anti-democracy movement now, the 2028 election may look nothing like what we expect in a free country.

In new CBS poll Trump clocks in at an ugly 42%-58% (-16). This is a 22!!!!!!! point drop from early February when he came in at 53%-47% in this poll. Six months in the American people are not buying what he's selling. 1/

🚨MAJOR LIE: Trump claims that Obama & Comey “made up” the Epstein files.

FACT CHECK: The first federal Epstein probe was under George W. Bush.
The second was July 2019 UNDER TRUMP.

Obama had ZERO to do with it. Share to expose Trump’s lies!

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

This is literally the definition of a white nationalist police state.

I believe a parent’s explanatory style—how they make sense of setbacks and stress—can predict well-being and burnout.

That’s the heart of my work: turning the research lens toward the rich internal narratives of those raising the next generation. 🧵fin.

But here’s the part that matters to me most:

We used the same methodology I plan to use with 18 gathered interviews with parents—because their stories matter just as much.

We track presidential speech, but what about how parents explain their lives under cultural pressures and expectations?

We found that how candidates explained bad events—their explanatory style—predicted election outcome.

Both started w/similar optimism levels, but Trump’s surged in the final weeks & Harris’s stayed stable.

That shift predicted a sizable victory—more than emotional tone, agency, or other variables.

Optimism predicted Trump’s victory: explanatory style during the 2024 presidential campaign Candidates’ explanatory style – how they attributed causes to bad events – predicted election outcomes. We analyzed causal explanations from the 2024 presidential campaign using Content Analysis of...

Yesterday, our study on explanatory style and optimism during the #2024election was published in the Journal of Positive Psychology.

Not the lead author but it was an a huge honor work with Abby Byler and Martin Seligman and the team on this. 🧵

People on WIC don’t even have diapers covered but we were covering 100% of gamblers losses??? And now people are complaining about it only being 90% - how about 0% because you made a bet and lost, it was free will. WTAF.

How Miami’s city commission gave themselves an extra year in office without voters’ permission Commissioners for the city of Miami rewrote their election laws to push the off-year 2025 local races to 2026 without input from voters. The decision has sparked outrage

WTF this needs to be fixed asap. Local politics matter - here’s a clear example.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

I want this as a t-shirt.

Look up your Senators' numbers Call your senators today and demand that they vote NO on this bill.

The big ugly bill is worse for families & worse for our economy.

It’s not just Democrats who know this—Republicans are starting to admit it too.

Turn up the pressure. Tell your senators to say NO to this cruel bill.
