US Senators are currently debating the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" to advance President Trump’s agenda.
This bill is not a solution to economic inequality or for managing immigration procedures – it is a blueprint for cruelty.
✍️ Urge Congress to stop the bill NOW:

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.
The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.

Photo of text states: Buffalo in herds, surround the most vulnerable to keep them safe from threat. The big bulls on the outside, horns pointed outward from the center. The matriarch females form another circle behind them. The youngest, the calves are in the center, protected on all sides. This is what was on my mind all day. Protecting the most vulnerable. Placing them at center. Circle up. Just thought I’d share that. 🦬
In my head all day.

🧵 THREAD: Our reporter spent the past year reporting inside the State Department, trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy:
How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza?

Exploitation, neglect, deprivation, death. These are not accidents of fate but the calculated outcomes of a system that prioritizes profit over human life. Friedrich Engels called it “social murder,” a term that cuts to the heart of capitalism’s hidden violence.

As Native American Heritage Month comes to a close, the process of picking up the pieces of our past continues. Here's to the matriarchs who came before me, my Great Aunties, Lorenza and Louisa Ortiz; for my Great Grandmother whose true name and true language I'm still trying to uncover.
