🧵 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.

The federal government is attempting a radical, massive expansion of what constitutes "wiretapping" that threatens everyone working in media/as a journalist today and I hope you'll read this and share it with everyone you know. I'm not just fighting this for me. I'm fighting it for everyone.

WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.” Singer @montemader.bsky.social says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJgZk_W...

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

This masking shit among law enforcement has to stop. Another set of laws we need to pass is that if you're engaged in any law enforcement role you need to have nametags and full face reveal.

As an essentially lapsed Catholic who still finds himself ending up the de facto "defender of the faith" in my circles, bc I do have a reverence for "what they were going for" and the historical importance of the advent of Christianity, I am stoked for the new pope.

Relative of a family friend got swept up by ICE. The reason? He had a disagreement with his manager. Manager called ICE. ICE picked him up in front of the entire undocumented staff, as a fucking warning.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

This is incredible. We should have every politician who's removed from office undergo this sort of psychological de-pantsing in order to confirm what we suspected the whole time they were in office.

As a surgeon, could not agree more with these reflections that Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches... They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports... 1/8
