And shorten the solvency of social security and Medicare by 10 years. As of 2040 we probably won’t have new beneficiaries

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will β€œpromptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

We have an exploding debt that we and our children will have to pay for all to give billionaires more money. Now OBBB is going to cost us social security and Medicare.

Why prices won't drop after the Trump tariff ruling, according to economists The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's signature tariffs. But the president has other tariff tools, and consumers shouldn't expect cheaper prices anytime soon, economists say.

NPR tells us what we already know. Price Stickiness is a real thing. The Republican Party has pushed the price up of everything from a pickup truck to an avocado sky-high. Those prices aren't going down ever.

The Golden Age for the rich has arrived.

He witnessed a migrant death at an ICE detention center, then was deported A deported witness describes the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at an El Paso ICE facility, alleging guards beat him while he yelled 'I can't breathe.'

"He was yelling 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe' as they hit him"

DHS deported one of the witnesses to the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at Camp East Montana. He was held in disciplinary segregation at the time when guards choked the 55-year-old Cuban immigrant to death.

The data on the links between autism and pollution has been around for awhile but it gets no traction because reducing air pollution involves collective action, but you can individually opt out of vaccines. It's about control.

Remember to protect your health and well being. Chronic stress kills. Do what you can: Drink water, meditate and exercise, eat nutritious meals, laugh, love, be in community, enjoy music and dance. Get lots of hugs. Find moments of peace

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

@agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov what is happening to the people who are detained in CA? What about those who are transferred from CA? What’s the conditions of detention? Where’s the court orders to have an independent monitor of any detention site?

They don’t care that it’s like a slice to the system that’s almost impossible to recover from. They think it’s just a little bit uncomfortable & we can just bounce back & aren’t willing to understand anything different. Racism is a disease that’s killing us and it was fed with that word
