As immigrants are being kidnapped, disappeared off the streets by masked men — it is more important than ever that we conduct oversight of the detention centers where they’re being held. Stay tuned for updates.

“The only debate is whether to measure the dead in the thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.”These are “individuals who died as a result of the shutdown of American humanitarian aid.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

“Democracy is not a noun – democracy is a verb,” says historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social‬. If you think democracy is something outside of you, it’s already lost, says Snyder. “The crucial thing is to do something.” And remember—we’re all in this together. #Velshi

Someone should set up a phone line to contact if you were helped in some way by an immigrant. I bet it would get a lot more calls than this ridiculous and offensive ICE line.

Yup.

Ain’t no hole big enough…

Memorial Day is more than a kick start to summer or an excuse to barbecue. It's a day of solemn remembrance for those who never returned home. To our fallen servicemembers and veterans from the #MA7: our hearts are with you and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.

“The only time we should look down on others is if we’re lifting them up.” — Pope Francis

Today, we remember Uvalde. We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down. The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive. The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies. We need an assault weapons ban. Now.

On May 23, 1962, my father spoke at Dartmouth about the urgent need for a moral awakening and strong laws to protect civil rights. I reflect on his call to action today. We can't afford to wait for hearts to change or for others to step up. We have to be the ones to lead.

Fuck James Comer and the entire GOP ! Leave Biden alone you fucking assholes ! How about you concentrate on the fucking Nazi that’s currently in the White House! share.newsbreak.com/d7wug6hb

The direct and indirect (time doctors and nurses spend on paperwork) administrative costs of US healthcare are 25-30%. The administrative costs of Japan's healthcare is 1-2%. We need to make the economic case for Medicare for All.

Only an asshole could support this administration. If that statement offends you, you’re exactly the right person to hear it.

"Not sure about you, but Ashli Babbitt's family getting $5M, while Brian Sicknick's family along with the 140 other police officers injured or died defending the Capital against domestic terrorists like Ashli, get nothing - makes me sick." anyone_want_chips

Neil Young to Bruce Springsteen: "As a Canadian-American dual citizen, I stand with the great majority, thanking you for speaking so eloquently and truthfully on behalf of the American people." Damn straight. THANK YOU BRUCE.

“Bruce (Springsteen) and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza?... I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. You shut down FEMA... That’s your problem Trump? STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING." Neil Young

How I feel after listening to White House gaslighting propaganda briefings.

I am deeply saddened to hear of President Biden’s diagnosis. My prayers are with the President, the First Lady, and the Biden family. For over 50 years, President Biden fought hard for the American people. I know he will bring that same fighting spirit to this battle.

I was deeply saddened to hear of President Biden's cancer diagnosis. Cancer is a horrible disease that has touched every life in one way or another. Cindy and I join the American people in wishing him strength during this difficult time.

Always had a lot of love for this man! Live long and prosper, Mr. Rather

"My Saturday PSA: Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore. Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office. Stop talking about Joe Biden. Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump." Katie Phang
