The corrupt Supreme Court gave the green light for the Trump administration to keep targeting people based on the color of their skin and the language they speak.

This overtly racist policy hurts immigrants and American citizens alike. It cannot be allowed to stand.

This regime believes it's racist to consider ethnicity when creating an equitable environment in universities, but it's not racist to profile people based on skin color and violate the 4th amendment.

White supremacists have infiltrated every branch of govt and are ruining our country.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage Donald Trump and Dr. Oz want to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) choose which procedures Medicare will cover for individual patients -- with AI companies being paid based on how much money they save by denying people’s coverage. This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. None of this β€œcost-saving” would be necessary if Trump and the GOP weren't driving up healthcare costs and starving our healthcare system of funds. Email Congress NOW: Demand that they stop AI-powered healthcare denials and use the upcoming funding deadline to restore healthcare.

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get careβ€”and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:

Today is Purple Heart Day, a time to honor our servicemembers for their bravery in service of our country. The Purple Heart – one of the oldest awards in the military for those wounded or killed in action – recognizes sacrifice and service that most of us can only imagine making for our country.

If you're in #Albany NY Aug 6th from 12-1:30 there's a protest to ask the county to sever its ties to Avelo Airlines. They have been receiving hard earned tax dollars and are using them to help the regime kidnap innocent people.

FDA panel promotes misinformation on antidepressants during pregnancy, psychiatrists say Nearly all of the 10 panelists emphasized what they said were risks of the drugs. Some claimed, without evidence, that antidepressants don't work at all.

Some of the panelists invited by the FDA to discuss SSRIs and pregnancy claimed that antidepressants don't work at all and depression goes away on its own. One suggested that depression was not an illness, but rather a product of β€œwomen just naturally experiencing their emotions more intensely.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

JD Vance said it himself, the Medicaid cuts, the hospital closures, the deficit hike, it’s all β€œimmaterial” so long as Trump gets the money he needs to expand ICE operations everywhere and imprison hundreds of thousands of β€œillegals” (a definition soon to include the right’s political opponents).

It's not talked about as much as the obvious flaws with the BBB, but it's clearly one of their primary goals and there's a reason for that. If this regime is allowed to fund their own personal loyalist military force, it will be much harder for us to fight back.

Congress set to hand Trump billions to recruit more ICE agents The House-passed version of the Trump budget bill includes $8 billion to hire an additional 10,000 ICE employees over five years, with millions more for signing and retention bonuses.

If the bloated ICE budget gets passed in Trump's Big Ugly Bill, expect more concentration camps, more militarized vehicles patrolling your neighborhood, & more untrained agents with weapons assaulting random innocent citizens in the street for the crime of not being white. This bill is Anti-American

Harrowing.

If you haven't been paying attention so far, now should be a wakeup call. Unless good people do something to stop this, things are only going to get worse. The more of us that join the fight, the faster we'll win back our freedom.

The federal government imposing a stop work order on Trevor project for the national 988 suicide hotline on the same day that the Supreme Court greenlit a ban on care despite the risk of suicide sends a clear message:

The United States government officially wants trans youth to kill themselves.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.
