If the stated goal is actually deportation, why does DHS & ICE need so many warehouses for "detention centers"? Deportation is a lie. These are concentration camps. How long before we find out that some are death camps?

It help to share my math journey. Kids were always surprised to find out that I was a D/C math student in high school & honors in college. It made them feel better about not knowing & being scared. They may not know now, but it can get better. Even for my kids w/ disabilities. I'm dyslexic.

I did "It's okay. I hated math too. Then something clicked later & it made sense. Let's figure it out together." I was a terrible math student in high school. The culture had created a block. We did a lot of work on the board, everyone took turns. If the kid up got stuck, others volunteered to help.

This was my experience as a middle & high school math teacher too. By the time I saw them, kids were drowning in the "I hate math" culture & I was battling the culture every time before I could teach *anything*. Getting kids to just try so we could find the confusion & learn was a fight.

They retired from the government. Now they’re back, protecting forests Trump abandoned. The U.S. Forest Service lost thousands of workers under Trump. Volunteers and retirees are trying to help — but things are breaking.

Come with me to Lander, Wyo. to meet Bill, Lee and Barb. They were supposed to be retired from the Forest Service. But they're back as volunteers — driving 100s of miles a week, cleaning 5 bathrooms a day — determined to protect forests Trump abandoned. wapo.st/4r4727z

Kristi Noem must be impeached.

We did it in a deep red area while local Democrat leadership told us we wouldn't be successful. We had moms dropping kids at school & then running flyers all over town. We did it with no donor money, but a lot of passion. I'll always consider the ladies I worked with the best people of our area.

We buried the school district in FOIA requests for every POS decision that board made, while we ran a public page outlining their racism & hateful policies, until we caught them doing something so illegal, the community & state took notice.

As a wine mom, I organized a bunch of other wine moms. We successfully recalled three MAGA school board members within 6 months of their election & replaced them with people safer for our LGBTQIA kids. We wrote strategy & interviewed candidates over wine socials.

He shot her out of anger, not fear for his life. He said "fucking bitch" immediately after shooting her

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Jury duty just got interesting.

Oh, the echoes of history.

They had a choice though. They didn't have to build national policy around the sundowning of a petty, racist, bigoted, angry old man; but they did.

Katie doesn't speak for all women. My most fulfilling time is when I have a stable job making enough money that I can live comfortably & take my kids on vacation. Not desperately relying on or living by the whims of an emotionally neglectful or abusive man. Marriage =/= a house full of love.

I live in Newhouse's area of influence. We end up with him every election because the local Republicans run a MAGA nut & the local Democratics aren't strong or committed enough to throw money & support behind their candidate.

Weekend at Bernie's Part 2: Every Day at the White House.

That's the face everyone's grandpa makes while "watching" the game & loudly snoring. But the minute you turn the TV off, he'd jerk awake & yell "I was watching that!" Except this evil old bastard is posting hate on Truth Social when he wakes up between naps.

She heard me, she just wasn't interested in respecting the request. It would be nice to see companies implement policies that didn't involve loudly sharing people's addresses & phone numbers to everyone in earshot. There are many reasons to respect privacy.

Not even looking at me, she smirks, starts from the top & louder. So I repeat myself, but now in a carrying mom voice "Ma'am! Do not read my information out!" She gave me the most shocked look & said I didn't need to yell. I responded "Respect my privacy, please." 2/2

I was picking up a rental car last week. To confirm my existence, despite having my driver's license in front of her, the rep started loudly reading my name & address off. I quickly interrupted her with "Please don't read my information out." 1/2

On a national level, it's like we're living with our abusive spouse & can't escape. Their family is enabling them & blaming us for the abuse. They're destroying our home & finances.

This feels like a literal visual representation of what's happening to our government & country. Trump has moved in & has no intention of leaving. The Republicans let him do what he wants & the Democrats are powerless to stop him.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

It shook me that white man at Fox News was allowed to say all homeless people should be killed. On live TV. I WAS homeless a decade ago. The isolation you experience after being cast off by people is why I refuse to speak to anyone who knew me back then. It’s unforgivable what the homeless endure

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.
