It never ceases to amaze me how century after century the masses, now including the educated masses, permit such economic inequity. In the U.S., it is yet again threatening our fragile democracy. Will there ever be change, real change?

54% of children in America are insured by Medicaid. The ONLY party looking to kick them off is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to defund the ACA is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to get rid of vaccines and medical research that saves lives is the GOP. The cruelty is always the point.

When a homeless man questioned the Phoenix police’s authority to stop him in Feb. 2020, an officer knelt on his neck while another shocked him with a Taser. Another unhoused man said officers threw away his things, telling him, “You guys are trash and this is trash.”

A nauseating “opinion” in the WSJ saying that stripping women and LGBTQ of their fundamental human rights— in service to male supremacy —is somehow not “toxic.” It IS toxic. It’s pure poison from Christian nationalists, and we have to stop them. Shame on this author. www.wsj.com/us-news/a-ch...

🧵 The Republican-majority Supreme Court just did Trump another solid - this time by clearing a path toward lifting the protections of 532,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, & Venezuelan (CHNV) immigrants fleeing persecution. This callously puts their fates in question! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Last week the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States surged by 350,000. Don’t worry, an army of gangbangers and other criminals didn’t charge the border. Rather, President simply decided to turn 350,000 legal immigrants into illegal ones. wapo.st/3HvBBka

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Not dangerous criminals. Dylan, a high school student, came here legally. He showed up to court—and ICE grabbed him. The feds are asking judges to dismiss migrant cases. That dismissal strips legal status, turning people undocumented on the spot—then ICE moves in under “expedited removal.”

The cancellation of funds for Moderna to develop the bird flu vaccine is a heinous mistake. This will inevitably result in the further spread of disease, loss of life, and economic consequences. Yet another shortsighted, foolish move, puppeted by RFK Jr. to fuel his anti-vax agenda. Despicable.

The NYPD not only hated Kerik because he wasn’t real police, they hated him because it was common knowledge he was crooked. It was right he went to jail. He should’ve been there longer.
