Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Normalizing the idea of a third Trump term, even as a ‘theory,’ is wildly irresponsible. We need reporters who challenge authoritarian impulses, not those who entertain them.

This is the ‘great’ America Trump keeps bragging about under his presidency.

Happening now: ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard who targeted criminals is out...replaced by Border Patrol loyalists and Bovino’s “Midway Blitz” crew. This isn’t reform. It’s a power grab. Shit just got more real.

Opinion | The Playbook Used to ‘Prove’ Vaccines Cause Autism (Gift Article) Data can easily be manipulated to show a causation that doesn’t exist.

A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS).

Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. 🛟🩺🧪

The Abrego García case has become an albatross around the Trump regime’s neck. In court yesterday, the government struggled to explain all its inconsistent positions and get the timeline straight, even while new evidence suggests Trump officials may have perjured themselves. My write-up below.

Why pay?👇

Why?! 🤔

Yo, Texas. Time to wake up, dickheads!

The name "Alligator Alcatraz" reminds us that America is currently run by adults who are like malicious, giggling children using magnifying glasses to burn ants.

This is not normal

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

Title reads: "It Didn't Start with Gas Chambers." Text below reads: "It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and controlling the opposition. One party dividing citizens into "us" vs "them" and calling on their supporters to harrass "them". Below it states: "It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen." Beneath the text is a picture of Nazi Germany.

Never forget.

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so.

Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

Tweet from user '@sunnyright' reads, "There's no limit to the number of retirement accounts and household incomes we need to destroy to ensure your kids can work in a sock factory instead of a software company."

The Trump economic mindset.

A federal judge has ordered the government to return a migrant wrongfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador due to “administrative error.” The DoJ argues the courts no longer have jurisdiction. My thoughts in today’s write-up: open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

Behavior like this is truly abhorrent.

If you have a voice, use it. especially those with 5k+ followers. Tumblr, twitter, instagram. this is about more than keeping families connected, people need to be aware of what's happening.

if you are in the arts industry in the capacity of a public figure, it's time to speak up.

Target gets booted from Twin Cities Pride festival after rolling back DEI efforts Twin Cities Pride executive director Andi Otto says the nonprofit made the decision because Target is not standing up “against those who are fighting against us.”

Target was one of the first corporations to include sexual orientation in their policies in 1990. I just sent an email to Guest Relations informing them that I will not spend a *dime* at Target until they reverse course on their current anti-DEI policies.

New EOs today re: the military

Because they were taking your jobs…

Costco shareholders voted 98-2% upholding the company's commitment to DEI.

But the anti-DEI group targeting Costco for 'woke' business practices, the National Center for Public Policy Research, says it will keep harassing Costco.

What is the NCPPR's next move, given their overwhelming loss?
