Nearly 150 Students Have Had Visas Revoked and Could Face Deportation Dozens of schools, including the University of California and Harvard, said the Trump administration ended the visas of their students in recent days. For many, the reasons are unclear.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. Itโ€™s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Judge Blocks Trump Orders to Stop Funds for Trans Youth Health Providers The ruling affects hospitals nationwide, putting on hold the administrationโ€™s plan to withhold research grants from those that offer gender transition treatments to young people.

Federal funding for hospitals providing gender-transition treatments for people under the age of 19 will remain in place, a federal judge ruled.

Hereโ€™s How Democrats Are Protesting Trumpโ€™s Speech to Congress Many Democrats are taking guests who they say have been hurt by Elon Muskโ€™s gutting of the federal bureaucracy. Several others will skip the speech and host counterprogramming, such as live fact-check...

Some Democrats are bringing fired federal workers. Others plan to hand out stickers accusing Elon Musk of โ€œstealing Social Security.โ€ Several will boycott President Trumpโ€™s speech altogether.

I don't think you can look at what is brewing in Washington right now and just assume that the US will still be a functioning geopolitical actor this time next year

A tragic death from measles in Texas today.

The school-aged child who was not vaccinated was hospitalized in Lubbock last week.

This was a preventable death.

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

How Trumpโ€™s Directives Echo Project 2025 President Trump attempted during his campaign to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint to overhaul the federal government, but many of his administrationโ€™s actions so far have mirrored it.

More than 60 major moves that President Trump and his administration have made in his first 23 days, including executive orders and agency memos, have aligned with proposals in the Project 2025 blueprint, according to a New York Times analysis.

After Abortion Bans, Infant Mortality and Births Increased, Research Finds The findings showed the highest mortality occurred among infants who were Black, lived in Southern states or had fetal birth defects.

Infant mortality increased along with births in most U.S. states with abortion bans in the first 18 months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, according to new research. Babies who were Black, lived in Southern states or had fetal birth defects died at the highest rates.

Snip of CNN article showing the biggest advertisers on X.

Snip of CNN article showing the biggest advertisers on X.

I would suggest actively boycotting the companies who are the biggest advertisers on X. Elon has a big debt held by several big banks that he is paying 11% on. If he loses advertisers the banks will get the jitters. Rich people need credit to get richer. Stop buying from these and write to their CEO

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Cheap Eggs and Private School Tuition Oligarchy is expensive...

If MAGA voters thought the price of eggs was high, just wait until they are buying tire rims and driving 100 miles for healthcare and paying school tuition after the public schools close.

It is expensive to live under an oligarchy. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Top security officials at USAID were placed on leave on Saturday after refusing to allow staff from Musk's DOGE to access systems at the agency. All heroes!

At OPM, Muskโ€™s staffers wonโ€™t leaveโ€”they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Education is the backbone of a democratic, civilized society. Thereโ€™s a strategy in removing educational funds and itโ€™s not to benefit the people.
