More evidence of SS tactics. People are disappearing off agency locator website; >disappearing<. That is a fascist tactic. Who the hell are these ICE agents? Do they have any training in the Constitution at all? We must protect each and every immigrant or we will be next to be disappeared.

Thiel is UN-American. He must be stopped.

I was the lucky one who got to speak to these amazing people in person. It is such a gift to know that we are all sticking together and supporting one another. The Verde Valley rocks! Please spread this far and wide!

A plea to all of us: "Talk to your loved ones. Talk to people that might not agree with you. At least talk about it."✊

At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.

PBS and NPR are generally unbiased, independent of government propaganda and provide key benefits to US democracy Studies link public broadcasting to higher voter turnout, better factual knowledge and lower susceptibility to extremist rhetoric. Those contributions to democracy may be diminished by Congress’ cuts.

Cutting funding to PBS and NPR threatens a key pillar of American #democracy.

Despite political claims of bias, research shows public media is among the most trusted and balanced sources of news.

He's correct. The worst criminals are flooding or streets.

He's now in our highest office.

He released J6ers.

He let the silk road guy out.

He invited the rapist brothers back.

He let gang members in.

Yeah, criminals are flooding or streets because of him.

Republicans against Trump (@republicansagainsttrump) on Threads There’s ALWAYS a tweet. (Yesterday, Trump threatened to block the Washington Commanders’ stadium deal unless they change the name back to ‘Redskins’.)

Congratulations on your marriage!!!!

Best way to deal with critics? Make fun of them! c. 😉

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.

Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

Judge orders Trump administration to ‘stop violating the law!’ and publish spending details WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to once again publish details about the pace at which it plans to spend money approved by Congress.U.S. District Court for the D...

A federal judge just ruled the White House broke the law by pulling down a public site that tracked Congressional spending.

Why’d they yank it?
Because people were catching DOGE making fraudulent claims and inflating “savings” that didn’t exist.

Transparency isn’t optional.

You say you're after criminals...Maybe you're just white supremacists.

Blue graphic with black lettering reads “It’s Time To End Debt Based Driving Restrictions. Road To Opportunity Act.” Below a white car icon sits to the right of white letters reading “H.3662 & S.2368 | Sponsored by Rep. Brandy Fluker-Reid & Sen. Julian Cyr”

The Road to Opportunity Act would end debt-based license suspensions, allowing safe drivers to keep earning money and caring for their families.

Tell state lawmakers: Pass the Road to Opportunity Act and remove economic barriers for low-income families!

Why Are More American Kids Dying Than Peers Abroad? CHOP Study Reveals Stark Reality A major new JAMA study reveals that American children are dying at rates up to 80% higher than kids in other wealthy countries, with chronic illness, gun deaths, and mental health issues driving the c...

"American youth were 15 times more likely to die from firearms than children in other wealthy countries... The rise in firearm deaths — which became the leading cause of death among American children and youth in 2020 — reflects policy failures around gun safety."

My city was one of hundreds expecting federal funds to help manage rising heat wave risk – then EPA terminated the grants The administration said the grants were ‘no longer consistent with EPA funding priorities.’ Spokane, which has faced deadly heat waves in eastern Washington, shows who is at risk.

A heat wave in 2021 killed 19 people in Spokane, Washington. The city was awarded $19.9M by the EPA to prepare for future heat waves, but the grant was abruptly terminated.

Now Spokane and 350 other communities are left scrambling to adapt to #climatechange. theconversation.com/my-city-was-...

Trump's pick to run NOAA wants to cut funding in the middle of hurricane season and massive heat waves.
