Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

We just sued the U.S. Air Force and Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to release public records detailing the Trump administration’s plans to build landing pads for SpaceX rockets in sensitive marine habitat in the Pacific Ocean. More info: biodiv.us/43ACrDD

They’re not shrinking government — they’re stealing it. Every time the GOP privatizes public services, we pay more. They sell off what we built, and we rent it back at triple the price. #Project2025 is a con. Fight it like your life depends on it — because it does.

Let's be more specific about the Trump administration's decriminalization of white collar crime. It's obvious that this effort only applies to white white collar crime.

This.

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

Fifty years after he was graduated from Princeton University, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered the baccalaureate address at his alma mater. This is how he ended the speech:

If you want to defeat radical dishonesty and LIES, it’s going to take radical honesty and TRUTH. And many of you can’t handle the truth. Here, let me prove it to you with one word that has been banished from Congress and corporate media: Genocide.

We will now raise our flags, beginning in ET and continuing across the country at noon, from half-staff to full-staff. This honors those we’ve lost in service and symbolizes our nation’s resolve to carry on the fight for freedom.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

📚 ¿y tù? 📖

Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday in May, is a day to honor and mourn fallen military service members. NPR readers share stories of the loved ones they've lost.

The argument “young white men turn to hate because they don’t get enough empathy for the barriers they face” needs to square itself with the reality that men and women of color — and many white women — faced generations of barriers without turning to hatred in the same numbers. 1/

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

“MAHA” is a cringey rebrand effort and a superficial one at that. The actual policies being pushed are directly counter to the stated intent of their 70 page report. Save yourself the read. Also 70 pages to tell us what we already know…let’s save the trees too. @msnbc.com

I've never seen it so well put before.

“If you haven’t been poor, don’t legislate for the poor.” - Rep Lateefah Simon, CA-12

"Each time the populace shifts to accept a new norm, a new level of cruelty, a new outrage, the White House is further emboldened and the rules are reset. The deportations and renditions of innocent people without due process begins with migrants, but it will not end there."

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Oh Canada!

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Applied last summer to help birds perceive the glass, the treatment’s early results are nothing short of remarkable. During fall migration, deaths were down by about 95 percent when compared with the two previous autumns.

The Interior Department is rescinding an order that would have phased out the sale of plastic water bottles and other single-use plastics in national parks and on public lands.

“it would also mark the first time in the history of SNAP that the federal government would no longer ensure children in every state have access to food benefits” www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/s...

Truly one of if not my favorite Amendments.

A heated exchange between Van Hollen and Rubio: "Writing an op ed to the Tufts newspaper is disrupting the foreign policy of the US? That's pathetic, Mr. Secretary."

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

Absolute bull shit! I want to vaccinate myself so I don't die becauseof all the idiots in this country. My choice. Same with all other vaccines. Hands off

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

There needs to be a spreading hands emoji for posts like this. This is so well said.
