In Washington protesters fighting to save their #Medicaid were arrested today. Story in next post/

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

WATCH: “She was trying to do the right thing.” ICE grabs a mother of 2 small babies, wife of a U.S. Marine, who was here since she was a teen - at her immigration hearing.

How many armed, masked men does it take to disappear an unarmed woman who has committed no crime? 2.5, evidently. I feel safer with her on the streets than I do the monsters disappearing her. 💔 screw Miller’s america.

Trump administration puts national forests on the chopping block. Repealing the Roadless Rule will allow industrial-scale logging, mining, and extraction on nearly 60 million acres of forests across the U.S. 🌲🌳🌲

"ICE" Agents separating mom from family 💔

Abelardo spent his life feeding this nation—an essential worker, harvesting the food we all depend on. He died alone, terrified, in the back of an ICE van. Ripped from his family. A grandfather. A human being.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

These decisions will definitely COST THE WORLD long after these fools are gone.....

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

10 years ago today, we dropped a thing that people still ask me about regularly. The question "What's Really Warming the World?" still has the same answer. With Blacki Migliozzi, in conversation with NASA GISS geniuses @climateofgavin.bsky.social and @drkatemarvel.bsky.social 🎁🔗

100 days. 💔

LAPD is assaulting people 🤬

Safer?

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Charles let’s Dump have it. 🥊

“The resilience of the country finds its way.” Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team on staying optimistic in uncertain times #FYC

A mother breastfeeding, wife of a Marine, led away in handcuffs while at an immigration office working to get her green card. Now a month into detention without her child. He has to drive 8 hours to see her. This is f'n cruel, disgusting, sickening. I just can't. #Pinks #BlueSkyVets

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

Pope Leo condemns US bombing Iran

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Host: No, that's a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

School House Rock Truth...for MAGA MORONS.....

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

What was that about World War III?

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

Congress? You awake?

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Very Cool 😎

Go Brad 😍 Just days after being arrested by ICE agents, Brad Lander is back at the same NYC immigration court to help escort migrants past the agents. This is what bravery looks like. Real leaders don't run from fear. They run toward the people who need them.

The racism is off the charts with this regime.
