Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

Well researched and written. It misses one point. ICE kidnapped these people because they consider the actions of the previous administration to be illegitimate. To them, the fact that the Biden admin granted these folks permission to be here LEGALLY just MEANS they’re here illegally. Literally.

If there are any Democrats who are thinking this way, they’re morons. And as usual, the so-called liberal media are doing exactly what the GOP wants. Hint: first and only litmus test is fighting for our rights as citizens & workers.

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

Science. Not that they’ll read it, but aside from the absence of empathy or even common sense (when someone tells you who they are, it is simple basic courtesy to believe them), THIS is why Republicans are entirely wrong about gender and sex.

Something I really can’t get over is that it was a MIRACLE of modern science that scientists were able to develop a COVID vaccine basically within a year, allowing us to mitigate *some* of a horrible crisis, yet anti-vaxxers… not only exist, but now run the health department

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

This week, you'll probably see some stories in which pronatalists appear as a delightfully goofy sideshow. But there's something much darker and more important going on. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I feel like there’s no way the people who really need to read this are on Bluesky. Or read The Verge. Or read.
