A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

The whole Big Ugly Bill is being read out loud. It is in legalese but among all the subsections there are some scary things. Listen for the words "repeal" and "rescind". www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA9b...

This is where I live, a country where the IRA was asked to turn in its guns. They did. This is one result. www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-n...

Today Google told me that, if I couldn't remember the password I'd changed on Tuesday because they didn't like the one I'd reset on Monday, I could always use my fingerprint. Give Google my fingerprint. What could go wrong? ps I don't ever know how to take a screenshot.

Peter Theil isn't sure the human race should survive. OK. Got it. He's saying he read the Lord of the Rings but has come down on the side of Sauron and all the manufactured humanoids with no free will. So glad that's been cleared up.

A few days ago, 45 posted a long list of all the "peace deals" he had negotiated but not received a Nobel prize. So he bombs Iran and insists that they come to him for a peace deal. The most insane reason ever to start a war. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-lists-...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Unless they just wave, wear silly clothes, and bring in tourists. I really mean no psychotic dictators controlled by evil cabals.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Who are the workers on Kristi Noem's 750 acre farm? Are they American born? What are they paid? Just wondering.

from last post "I am working on human trafficking cases. When the people come in and are treated horribly and paid less than Americans, the employers are trafficking and that’s a crime. Our clients who have been trafficked are able to get special status and work permits"

I asked a friend who is an immigration lawyer about her concerns. I suspect that ICE has been raiding the wrong places. (more)

After this tragic incident, someone on X posted that people had been killed and that the shooter had been an illegal immigrant. Neither was true. How many reposted this lie without checking? www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
