I am beyond livid. The US State Dept is now banning children from Gaza in need of dire medical aid.

Once again a reminder that the Trump regime is a fascist regime. Smh. Horrific.

WATCH THIS. He gets it right

Nottoway Plantation: the so-called β€œWhite Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.

We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

QUESTION: What kind of government fights this hard to take healthcare that saves lives away from Americans?

ANSWER: A government run by Republicans, who want to give tax cuts to billionaires on our backs.

Medicaid Cuts Kill!

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc β€œnational security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

β€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a β€œthreat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.
