I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.

Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.

Cashing in on cruelty.

However, you can gain valuable experience in the subject through our oil company internship program.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed.

Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen.

Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

STRESS KILLS.

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.  

The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich.

We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

The printing press led to witch hunts, radio gave rise to fascism, TV showed us wars & social media ripped apart democracy. So what do we do about it? We lean into what makes us human & find solutions that prioritize how we are “in dependence” with each other, says Stanford d.school’s Scott Doorley

How do you have the courage to be yourself? @alokvmenon.bsky.social answers: How do you have the stamina to keep hiding? Everyone’s closeted & playing pretend. With every decision, we have the choice to decide “How can I be more me?” instead of contorting ourselves to others’ expectations #sxsw
