So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home β€” nothing.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
β€’Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
β€’Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Welcome to the New America!
Trump is an alleged paedophile. Does ICE send him photos of these half-naked children?

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

RFK Jr. is wrong about autism His lies endanger neurodivergent people β€” and everyone else.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."
