Funding ICE and not teachers, healthcare workers, and Medicaid is not making America healthy. Housing undocumented immigrants in squalid conditions in Alligator Alcatraz is not making America healthy.
This is a #PublicHealth issue.

Just for fun…

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.

Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.

We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Love it!

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

Trump asks US Supreme Court to let him remove Democratic members from labor boards for now Donald Trump's administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to let him remove Democratic members from two federal labor boards while legal fights over the Republican president's dismissals of them play out.

The Supreme Court is no longer a brake on authoritarianism — it’s becoming an accomplice. Just like the courts in 1930s Germany, they’re paving the way for the destruction of democracy, one cynical ruling at a time. It’s both disgraceful and terrifying.

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength.

Capitulation isn’t courage.

Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism.

We used to know the difference.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

you know i have never actually just listened to her speak and uh, the white house could use a professional up there

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

REED: What is under review? It's a very simple question

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.
