$10 Million in Contraceptives Have Been Destroyed on Orders From Trump Officials

The birth control pills, IUDs and hormonal implants were purchased by U.S.A.I.D. for women in low-income countries. They had been in limbo in a Belgian warehouse after the U.S. cut much of its foreign aid.

“The deliberate destruction of nearly $10 million worth of contraceptives, under the blatantly false pretense that they are abortifacients, is an outrageous act of cruelty,” said Beth Schlachter, director of U.S. external relations ...

Not “ICE” changing license plates in a back lot.

They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.

The War Powers Act allows POTUS to use military force in 3 very specific situations: a declared war, after an authorization from Congress or imminent attack.

The Iran bombing meets none of those. This blatant disregard for the law has to be an impeachable offense!

On June 6, 81 years ago,
US and allied troops landed on Normandy to make a northern offensive against fascist Nazi Germany.

I am outraged to read on this anniversary that US troops are being called on in our own country in the name of xenophobic fascism.

The cruelty is the point.

Philadelphia has a closed primary. It can’t happen. Dugan is a registered democrat so republicans can’t vote for him.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law:

- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP
- Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

Biden already did this for insulin and Trump cancelled it..

Members of an immigrant family in Worcester, Massachusetts were targeted, terrorized, and seized by ICE agents this week.

The father was taken into custody by ICE on Wednesday, and agents returned to the family’s home Thursday to execute an arrest of the mother — without a warrant.

Worcester…

TODAY is the deadline to Update / Register to Vote in the May 20th Municipal Primary Election. At stake are 3 PA Supreme Court seats (and other court seats) held by Democrats that Must be retained to ensure Fundamental Rights (like the Right to Choose) remain safe in PA.🧵

Fumiko Hayashida with baby daughter, tagged and waiting at Bainbridge Island dock, to be removed from their home on Bainbridge Island, 3/30/1942

On 2/19/1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066 forcing the removal of over 100,000 Japanese Americans to “relocation camps,” with less than 2 days to get affairs in order. They lost their homes, businesses, farms and communities. Never forget, stop allowing it again #AAPI

Real life imitates art.

Two headlines from the same day, one real and one a satire. #TheOnion

Trump has released his 2026 budget that include cuts for: NSF: -56% NIH: -40% EPA: -55% CDC: -33% NASA: -24% Make no mistake- this is not just trimming the budget. These cuts are a direct attack on US research, innovation, and public health.

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

This!! 🎯

@betoorourke.bsky.social nails it. Hell, Texas has 40 electoral votes yet we’re consistently ignored.

The Democratic Party MUST engage with every state and every constituent! 👏🏽

That begins with a new Dem leader willing to *take action* and fight for ALL of us!

P Town Bar ‘Raided’ During Queer Event Featuring Amanda Lepore Updated May 4, 2025 at 10:16 AM. What was supposed to be a joyful night of queer celebration turned into a moment of surreal disruption on Friday when P Town Bar, a beloved LGBTQ establishment in P…

I’ve been here. I’ve been at events JUST like this across the states. I can’t believe this is where we are…actually, I can.

Less than 14 hours ago a queer bar in Pittsburgh was invaded by no less than 20 cops.

Fuck this shit.

Trump to rename Veterans Day as ‘Victory Day for World War I’ The president said the move is needed for America “to start celebrating our victories again!”

TRUMP’S AMERICA

Trump is remaking America for himself. He’s renaming, redecorating, reducing, eliminating, banning, deporting and jailing, anyone who opposes him.

He wants us to fear him and obey him.

The issue is not whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a model person. It's whether any legal resident can be kidnapped by the government and sent to a foreign torture prison with no due process. Because if it can happen to him, it can happen to you.

Jamie Raskin with the "We shall fight on the beaches..." energy that smart Dems are taking into the second 100 days.

Whole (short!) statement is here, and worth reading:

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.

This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.

We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

Don’t forget tomorrow is the nationwide May Day protest. 50501 has been doing an incredible job organizing, and a lot of our coalition members will be joining events across the country.

Actually, you do have the power to bring Kilmar back Mr. President. Follow the Supreme Court’s order and get him home to his family in the U.S. now.
