Bigots need to stop saying they're fine with immigrants entering "the right way," because y'all are applauding and saying "I voted for this" when they snatch people WHO ARE FOLLOWING THE LEGAL PROCESS. Just admit you want ALL Black and Brown people gone.

Our Constitution forbids using the military inside the country for police actions. Trump is illegally using the military to escalate the situation. I predict martial law within the week.

Kristi Noem says it's okay for officers assaulting people to mask, but it's not okay for protesters. As she defends brutality, her Botoxed lips seem to become thicker, her makeup heavier, her eyes more shadowed, and her hair longer. Is she growing into something not quite human?

Check out my new chart on Trump's executive actions! A little slack for lawbreakers, a little Brute Squad, and some stickin' it to the libs on Mother's Day. And irises. emturnerchitty.substack.com/p/charting-m...

R.F.KrazyKennedy alert: Now people under 65 may no longer get a COVID vaccine; only people 65 or older/high-risk people can get it. Hmmm. So it's 2020 again for working-age people and kids. That's what we need! A new pandemic spike! Your tax $$ at work. theweek.com/health/covid...

This is Code Red. The Budget bill is set to neuter courts' ability to stop the president. Tucked into its 1000+ pages are provisions to destroy the balance of powers between the courts and the executive. Please use 5calls.org to call your representatives today. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Pjz...

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Does “struggle “ mean “work hard to achieve an aim”? Or does it mean “fail? Noem fails to define habeas corpus, instead defining it as its opposite.

Pellissippi State Community College (Knoxville, TN) has a round central atrium where staffers and students recently gathered to sing Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changing." The sound is fabulous. www.facebook.com/share/r/1Yr4...

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018% But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%. "Efficiency."

This. 1000x this.

🧵 A tiny baby. Not breathing. The desperate mom pulls into a shuttered ER. Nurses—off duty, protesting the closure—rush to save her child. THIS is the future the GOP is pushing: Medicaid gutted so millionaires have tax cuts. Closed hospitals. Dead children. And they do. not. care.

What the hell is this?

“Every act of compassion is an act of defiance. Every moment of empathy is a refusal to surrender. Every time we choose decency over cruelty, we reclaim a piece of our shared humanity. This is the fight of our time—not for power, but for the soul of our nation.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Don't let anyone get away with telling you mifepristone is dangerous and should not be available. The "science" they're quoting is junk-dog bad. reason.com/2025/05/05/t...
