A Texas boy needed protection from measles. The vaccine cost $1,400. Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

This is horrible. And it’s not just the Venezuelans. Migrants from all over the world are just being deported to whatever country the US can force to accept them. #MomSky

Judge releases detained Venezuelan couple with temporary protected status The judge said the detention of the couple was baseless and unlawful.

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said.

“If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.”

Yep

Pete Hegseth accidentally texted a journalist at The Atlantic the U.S.' plans to bomb Yemen:

"The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing."

JFC.

DOGE has uncovered so much fraud already that no one has been charged with fraud.

Think about it.

“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

8th Amendment, US Constitution

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for…

You guessed it.

Food banks.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

One of my best friends shared this with me. From FB. He is despicable. 😡😡😡

Democrats who have never volunteered before should learn everything they can about their local election processes and volunteer to work the election in their districts.

And be known to your local democratic office. Volunteer to register voters.

The FTC has pending lawsuits against Amazon, Meta, & Google.

Trump is trying to gut the FTC by firing two Democratic commissioners.

The NLRB is fighting against Amazon & SpaceX in court for violating workers' rights.

Trump tried to gut the NLRB.

See the problem here?

Marco Rubio, ICE Agents, pilots, crew, White House staffers... should all be held in contempt, in jail, until these people are returned to the United States and given due process in front of a judge.

Demand it.

I've read the "First They Came" poem, and we're not doing that shit again. Get loud!

Protesters in Belgrade, Serbia protesting President Aleksandar Vucic and his government!

Incredible.

The GOP is filled with the worst people.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

The eventual fate of the GOP

Arlington Cemetery website scrubs links about Black and female veterans Pentagon leaders have ordered that their websites and social media pages remove articles and images that “promote” DEI.

ICYMI:

“Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

“Man, was I wrong.”
