Was checking in online for a dental appointment and there was a release form for me to okay the making of an audio recording of my visit to be processed by AI, ostensibly to aid in a record of my care. Anybody else run into this weirdness?

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

My rep.

WATCH: “Feeding kids should not be political.”

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social and the Progressive Caucus highlight @GovBillLee letting kids go hungry in most TN areas (including MEMPHIS & NASHVILLE) by rejecting $84 MILLION in federal💰only to spend more state money to feed fewer kids.

Dayum!

Bad Bunny did something Trump can NEVER do...name all the countries in the Americas

Who is more patriotic, the man that says "Together, we are America" or the man that depicts black people as monkeys?

Everything I need to know about Ring cameras, I learned from Ray Bradbury

Imagine organizing a counter halftime show solely to protest someone who doesn’t look, talk or think like you and then during your lip-synced dumpster fire telling everyone to dust off their Bible and heed the words of someone who doesn’t look, talk or think like you.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

For the “law and order” crowd.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.

But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

The Home Office now describes asylum seekers as "illegal immigrants [living in hotels]" with no reference to the reason that these people are in government-funded accommodation is that this government has taken & will process the asylum claim from them in 98-99% of cases of unauthorised entry.

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries.

There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

I hear you bro.

The Muppet Show was so much fun. Now making a wish list of future guests: Pedro Pascal, Ian McKellen, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep, Jeffrey Wright, Michael B Jordan, Bowen Yang, Idris Elba, Chappell Roan, John Mulaney, Angela Bassett, Cole Escola, Nicolas Cage and John Cena.

A reminder that birther trash Melania is not only married to a criminal pedophile who was close friends with Epstein, her disastrous propaganda film was directed by an Epstein client. She’s always known the truth and she’s just as evil.

Mic drop. I don't know who first said this, but we're all thinking it.

DAMN

They politely asked him to leave🙄

The fact that the President of the United States posts a racist video with an image depicting the Obamas as apes and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Donald Trump will never know this

L❤️VE.

Listen to them. Lakewood High School students in Colorado protesting ICE on Thursday.

He targets Somalians because he’s a racist. He targets Haitians because he’s a racist. He won’t watch Bad Bunny because he’s a racist. He posts images of the Obamas as apes because he’s a racist.
