The Northeast’s Largest 7,500‑Bed ICE Mega‑Center Is Coming β€” Unless We Stop It Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

If you’re a Pennsylvanian who thinks the human warehouses ICE wants to construct in our state are immoral and intolerable β€” as well as an insult to the memory of the immigrants who built our state β€” PLEASE sign the petition here: c.org/HkRJXBRNkD

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.

5/ Only 8% of Americans know these historic health care cuts are happening. When people ask why they lost coverage or why their local hospital shut down or why there isn't a nursing home for their parent, point to this bill.

1/ Today's bill passing marks the biggest health care cuts in U.S. historyβ€”nearly $1 trillion slashed over the next 10 years. Instead of moving toward a healthier, more prosperous futureβ€”where we prevent disease, expand care, feed children, & increase life expectancyβ€”America chose the opposite.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It β€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood.

That means fewer cancer screenings. Less birth control. Less basic health care. All while Trump & the GOP give billionaires more tax breaks.

This is a theft of power, care, and dignity.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has not given any press briefings in the briefing room but has used the room as a backdrop for TV hits with Fox News.

And he wants to ban trans people from the military while installing a makeup studio for himself at the pentagon?!

How Having a Baby Is Changing Under Trump Cuts to federal health institutions could alter newborn hearing and rare disease screening programs.

Newborn hearing screening is on the chopping block. I'm one of those 70s kids; I wasn't diagnosed until 14 months. I'm lucky bc I had intense therapy & support from then on. With a small developmental window & tech like CIs, these screenings are essential! time.com/7278169/baby... #disability #deaf

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prisonβ€”accused of no crime, with no trialβ€”they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
