The fact that Fort Worth Texas has a back log of over 900 rape kits they 'don't have time' to test, but Texas Sheriffs did have the time to spend a month tracking a woman who MIGHT have been going out of state for an abortion tells you all you need to know about what Texas thinks about women..

Lagia sent this vid from Santa Maria CAs strawberry fields: Workers are running back and forth to the truck. We are working piece rate & earn $2.25 per flat. The constant running puts us at risk of injury, but slowing down means not making enough to pay our bills. #WeFeedYou

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 78 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

This is funny and also exposes something important about how the typical NYT editorial tone undermines some of it’s best journalism. When the president of the US speaks the way Trump does, you must abandon “barnyard epithet” decorum.

A 10-year-old was hoping to fetch bread from his aunt in Gaza when an Israeli bomb killed him, his family said. Just a few hours earlier, Israel had announced it would begin letting some aid into Gaza after a blockade of nearly three months.

I promise you the White Christian nationalist regime staffed by neo-Nazis doesn’t give a single shit about the safety of American Jews. Let’s not pretend they do.

So the US Constitution, I’m being told, is a document that lays out the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE PRESIDENT. I hope the Federalist Society is proud of what it hath wrought.

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Today May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. Statements like this are inflammatory, disrespectful and flat out lies. Not only did you betray law enforcement, but you sided with people who attacked us. You don't support law enforcement, you are are a criminal.

Did you read the excerpt from the new Biden book where he pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists, made billions in a corrupt crypto scheme, and is being gifted a “palace in the sky” from a patron of Hamas? No wait, that’s the other guy. Maybe we should be talking about him more.
