Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

In The Netherlands, if you hit a kid under 14 with your car, it is automatically presumed to be your fault.

At some point we will have a conversation about the bogus claim that running a financially successful company equips you for leadership more broadly.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval β€” which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

abolish ICE is a majority position among INDEPENDENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC

what I am saying is: the next Dem president had better be ready to walk into DHS with a chainsaw on Day 1

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Americans urged to leave Middle East, but many airports are closed and embassy staff is reduced The State Department ordered the mandatory departure of non-emergency personnel and family members in six countries after the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was struck by two Iranian drones.

It’s so American to be like you should return home via your bootstraps

trickle down economics is bull shit and if you believe it then you are stupid. great replacement is bull shit and if you believe it then you are racist. vaccines are safe and effective and if you believe otherwise you should be shunned from society

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

Street safety is our goal in Berkeley, that's why we let this guy drive his monster truck down the bike route to school every day. And yes, there is a guy driving this truck in this photo, he can't see anything because he drives with his seat leaned all the way back.
