The ICE "agents" aren't agents. They're bounty hunters who've been deputized. That's why they don't wear uniforms and or provide ID. They get paid $1k-$2k per person. This is state-sanctioned. human trafficking and kidnapping.

Fact:

Happy First Day of Summer ❇️

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

If you watch one thing tonight, let it be this. This is delicious.

A few more from the #NoKings Rally in Sugar Land, TX 🔷

Literally one of my favorite signs from the #NoKings Rally in Sugar Land,TX 🔷

Sharing a few signs from the #NoKings Rally in Sugar Land,TX 6/14/25 🔷

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

Loved being a part of the No Kings Rally in Sugar Land, TX! #NoKings #PeacefulProtest

I love this so much! Austin, Texas in solidarity with LA. 🙏🏽❤️

Every accusation is a confession.

Yikes

Trump slashes funding for FEMA and other natural disaster relief programs just in time for things like hurricane season. Trump wants all Americans to suffer, regardless of party affiliation. Why? Because he doesn’t care about you. youtu.be/Y8PQn3OdRj8?...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Due process is fundamental to America. This should not be up for debate.

NEW: Everything wrong in America is because of the ultra-wealthy. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/its-the-ol...

Pick a red state, say, Oklahoma. Over a million on Medicaid, most of them kids. About 25% in the whole place need it. The MAGA bill tosses them off. Sen. James Lanksford & MarkWayne Mullin say nothing. Crickets. Taking health care away makes us great again?

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

He’s got private golf resorts, personal jets, and towers with his name on them and yet he’s still begging oil despots for a luxury plane instead of helping people working two jobs who can’t make rent.

Today is the first time this succulent has surprised me w/a blossom ❇️

“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country. “Our leaders must follow their example.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

"In March, the Trump administration cut $1 billion from Department of Agriculture programs that provide food to schools and food banks and said there would be future cuts to other programs..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

The recent cuts to science agencies pose a real and present danger to our communities, as they threaten everything from cancer research to our ability to monitor climate threats like wildfire.

We are living in the dumbest timeline

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

This beautiful butterfly stopped by to say hi today. She landed on my side mirror. Such a fun surprise 🦋 #mothernaturerocks #butterflies

He's also the president who killed things like this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I joined Ali Velshi of MSNBC this morning and Ali’s first question was about the President’s jarring answer “I don’t know” to the question “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?”

When they try to divide us, attack the vulnerable and make us feel hopeless we’ve got to join together, bring the outsiders in and give each other a reason to be hopeful. Denton, Texas.

Because movie tickets weren’t expensive enough.
