When the Trump manufactured humanitarian crisis in Cuba is over, their reliance on fossil fuels will be a lot less. This is going to be good news for Cuba and the planet. It will be bad news for Trump and the oil companies

U.S. deports gay asylum seeker to country where homosexuality is illegal It's the latest incident in which the U.S. government used third-country agreements to deport LGBTQ+ asylum seekers to dangerous situations.

A woman escaped from her family who tried to kill her for being gay from a country where it is also illegal. She was detained for nearly a year instead of given bail and then her asylum case was denied. A judge denied an order of removal. The Trump DOJ ignored it and deported her anyways.

US abstains from UN vote on 'lasting peace in Ukraine' on 4th anniversary of war "Is not missing children, shelling of cities, and the killing of innocents enough? It is not a business deal — it is war," former Special Envoy Keith Kellogg said in a scathing post after the vote.

⚡️US abstains from UN vote on 'lasting peace in Ukraine' on 4th anniversary of war.

"Is not missing children, shelling of cities, and the killing of innocents enough? It is not a business deal — it is war," former Special Envoy Keith Kellogg said after the U.S. declined to support the resolution.

The Trump Administration is Trafficking Pregnant Children to Texas So They Can't Get Abortions At least half of these unaccompanied migrant kids are rape victims, and all are being denied adequate medical care for high-risk pregnancies in a state with sky-high maternal mortality rates.

The Trump administration is purposely ripping away the ability for pregnant children to get the health care they need.

Think about that—CHILDREN. Many who are victims of rape.

This is sick and the American people deserve answers.

Just a reminder - this is what we are risking bringing back:
Polio wards.
Iron lungs.
Children fighting to breathe.

This is what vaccines ended.

That’s not “making America healthy” - and it’s risking the lives of our children

thanks!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PowerPose with the alternative #FeedingFrenzy. So I think this one covers both.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

Ring Scraps Flock Partnership Following Uproar Over Super Bowl Ad - PopularResistance.Org Ring, the doorbell and security systems company owned by Amazon, announced last week it was canceling its partnership with surveillance company Flock Security following immense backlash to a Super Bowl commercial touting its artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The integration with Flock was first announced in October. Ring released a statement on February 12 stating that the planned partnership with the company “would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated.” “We therefore made the joint decision to cancel the integration and continue with our current partners,” Ring added on its website.

🇻🇦❗️🇺🇸 Vatican refuses to participate in Trump's Peace Council in favor of the UN

Cardinal Parolin said that one of the problems is that "at the international level, it is the United Nations, first of all, that should manage such crisis situations."

So, the US govt approach is:
*We are going to scan tourists social media accounts and deny visas because of content we dislike, like mocking Trump
and
*We are going to allow foreigners a work-around to consume social media content their governments have banned, including hate speech

Students Walkout Against ICE protest Bend Oregon

This incident at an anti-ICE student walkout in Emunclaw WA was provoked by MAGA vigilante Danny Rebel, a grown-ass man who taunted teenagers before getting punched.

Embarrassing that Emunclaw PD says it was unprovoked. Danny has a history of aggressively trying to agitate the left for content.

Screenshot "I was at the ICE Tukwila office today and saw three full double decker truck loads of unmarked SUVs being unloaded and parked inside of the ICE facility. that's around 24 vehicles. One can safely assume that more vehicles = more agents = more enforcement coming our way."

I received a report today from a community member who spotted approximately 24 new unmarked SUVs. outside the ICE facility in Tukwila, WA, just south of Seattle.
It’s hard to say for certain what this means, but it could indicate a greater deployment of personnel in the region in the near future.

According to AP it will be a closed door deposition with the House Oversight Committee.
