Florida is building a new migrant detention center nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” converting an airfield deep in the Everglades into one of the Trump administration’s most ominous additions to its immigration crackdown. FDT!

A fantastic fact-filled video about the US Senate plan in the Big Beautiful Bill to sell off a minimum of 2 MILLION acres of public lands www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rjj...

I’m sick of working to try to make ends meet. I’m a teacher with a state health plan. I can’t afford doctors visits for anyone except my kids. Medicaid should be EXPANDED, not cut. If politicians cared about their constituents, they would do for us as they do for the rich. Don’t Bomb Medicaid

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Did you know 80 million (1 in 4) Americans rely on Medicaid to stay healthy? The GOP wants to take it away from them. This will mean hospital closures, treatment delays, and longer wait times for EVERYONE. We deserve better than this. #DontBombMedicaid

I wrote about this phenomenon in Millennials ….. a decade ago www.salon.com/2013/10/18/n...

For women in America, while undergoing the crushing loss and physical pain that a miscarriage causes, they are now subject to invasive state sponsored abuse and terror. Welcome to the police state of our wombs. God forbid human rights extend to our entire bodies.

1/3 Hey, we'll take good news where we can get it! 🐢✍️ The Senate Parliamentarian says parts of the One Big, Hideous Bill can’t be passed via reconciliation—meaning anti-worker stuff needs 60 votes. A few bullets our fed fam will appreciate 🧵

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!

Made this today and it’s sooooo amazing! www.gretchensveganbakery.com/vegan-key-li...

This headline is crazy, but it points out the study from @aoschlies.bsky.social et al. that biotic mCDR techniques like iron fertilization or kelp cultivation could have severe negative consequences for marine ecosystems. The same isn't true for abiotic ones like ocean alkalinity enhancement. 🌊

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

I am praying this catches on.

Diplomacy is the only avenue to stopping Iran's nuclear program; bombing only incentivizes sprinting toward a nuclear weapon. Experts agree that US & Israeli bombing won’t end the prospect of nuclear weapons in Iran. Instead, they undermine nuclear diplomacy everywhere #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

1/2 Don’t forget: the Senate is entering a “vote-a-rama”—a marathon of back-to-back amendment votes tied to the budget reconciliation bill this week, a process that lets major legislation pass with a simple majority and avoid a filibuster. What’s at stake? tinyurl.com/mwdemhb4

Sleeper cells don’t scare Americans who are already aware it’s been here. If you’re only alarmed when they’re foreign, then you aren’t concerned about terrorism, just the religion, race, nationality or political party of the terrorist.

We’re not sure who these armed men are! They show up without uniforms, completely masked, refuse to give ID. They drive regular cars and in cases out of state license plates. The vests that they have on look like they’re from Amazon! Are they bounty hunters?! Are they vigilanties?!

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

I keep thinking about our armed service members who are now in a war, led by a Commander-in-Chief who will consider them “losers and suckers” should they become injured or, God forbid, lose their lives in the time ahead. The rest of us good Americans thank you for your service. Godspeed.

Wonder why ICE workers are so horrible? Whistleblowers who speak out about illegal actions and inhumane conditions are being fired, then replaced with Trump loyalists who won’t ask questions. ICE leadership has seen over a dozen top-level resignations and firings since Trump took office,

We’re grateful @nytimes.com published this powerful article on black lung—covering its resurgence in Appalachia, the crucial work NIOSH has done to reduce its impact on coal miners, and the reckless decisions by this admin that cut health protections for miners. @altniosh.bsky.social [🎁link]

Time to shame and shun these traitors. Let their community know they have these terrorist traitors to the constitution in their midst. *note: not advocating violence but public condemnation and legal consequences for their illegal actions.

DHS is looking for former law enforcement, former military, and former terrorism analysts to track migrants in MD, and not to find gang members or drug dealers. Migrants they find at or looking for work. Law-abiding people going to immigration check ins. Parents at elementary school graduations.

And cats, and kids who will make our hearts full with love. Bad times do end. Bad people will face justice. In the meantime hold those you love close and remember that love, and kindness, and joy are a rebellion in themselves.

Trump’s attic is jammed with junk from Loomer...Bannon...and Fox screamers...while real experts are locked outside. No wonder he’s tripping over garbage when it’s time to lead. His attic’s full. His judgment’s lost. And you’re footing the bill.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

Man I wish they would too. Gerrymandering is so beyond corrupt and it’s why Ohio and Texas are both so red.

A lot of people who should read this, won't. www.laprogressive.com/racism/what-...

Because of course they are 🙄… tech bros as solders. What could go wrong? Seriously what the actual fuck. “Modernizing”…. In other words putting loyal sycophants in position for a MAGA power grab.

Californian civil rights lawyer Oliver Ma has revealed the TRUTH about the USA immigration detention centres, and it's truly eye-opening!

Happening now, the Fight Oligarchy rally is in FT Worth, TX today. Yesterday it was in Tulsa, OK.

The fascists want you to be frightened. They want you to be hopeless. They want you to be distracted. They want you to be disorganized. They want you to be joyless. They want you to be timid. They want you to be hateful. Refuse to be. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-be-wh...

When I got this notification I thought, what could this possibly be about! LMAO.

Trump has again taken & abused power that our constitution does not afford him. Congress must step up as an equal branch of government & hold him accountable. Lawmakers: are you merely impotent, or fully complicit? Our founders gave you the tools. Use them. REMOVE HIM #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
