We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Mental health-wise, my days seem better when I just listen to music instead of scrolling here/reddit or listening to current events podcasts. I guess I should strive for a better balance.

The only surprising part about this is it took him this long to think to blame dems

Fortune 500 companies that have active contracts with ICE.

begrudingly handing it to yankees fans, this once

ICE has kidnapped the manager of the popular Suya Joint, a West African restaurant in Boston, and his family need our help to cover his legal fees. Please contribute and share if you can:

are you the kind of person that does cool stuff like this and gives out free respirators? here's a free design by me n my partner for circular things like buttons and pins that may make make your experience smoother, or just give others the permission they need to grab a mask! shorturl.at/uYPGV

@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @billkeating.bsky.social I oppose this moratorium on AI regulations.

people are asking

A MAGA Christian nationalist dressed up like a police officer to shoot and kill Minnesota Democratic lawmakers. We should still be talking about it. If lawmakers aren't safe, not one of us is safe.

Please stop travelling to the US If you’re in the US and don’t have to be, leave. It is not safe. Those that can leave, should. The rest of us should vote with our dollars and refuse to go there until it’s safe for everyone. They just murdered a Canadian.

Gut microbe emerges as a promising tool in the fight against COVID-19. "New research uncovers how Akkermansia muciniphila primes powerful immune responses against the virus." www.news-medical.net/news/2025062...

he's right and he's right to say it

Mamdani was the ONLY dem candidate who opposed mask bans. Which says all you need to know about the “left” in the United States. He will now face Adams, who has said at least three separate times that he wants a city wide mask ban. Mask bans are discriminatory ugly laws that put lives at risk.

Proud to support @algreen.house.gov in invoking Rule IX to force a vote on his articles of impeachment. We're starting with 79. The regime must be stopped.

Because parents don't have a choice. School supplies aren't optional purchases.

You know what would encourage people to get more physical activity? No, it is not wearable fitness trackers. It is: 1. A liveable wage so people have time for it 2. Safe parks and other infrastructure for such activity But that’s too hard.

Public health is a matter for engineers. We are continuing our inventory of decentralized mechanical ventilation solutions. It's simple, fast, and effective. There's no reason not to consider installing such a system in a daycare, a classroom, an office... letsair.org#ventilation

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

It’s all so exhausting and stupid.

I'm still not over yesterday's obscene SCOTUS decision that our government can deport people to prisons in countries they're not from. How is anyone walking around going about their day?

Not to rain on everyone’s ceasefire-not-ceasefire parade, but that wrecking ball of a big dumb bill is still working its way through the Senate and still launching an assault on women, wages, benefits, and the entire working class

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Know Your Rights Information🚨 ICE has been arresting people at immigration court and routine check-ins across the country. If you or a loved one is in this situation, know you still have rights.

My maintenance man always wears an n95 at my request. “No need to thank me. You should feel safe in your home,” he says. Like it’s simple. And it IS that simple. I wish my family, healthcare providers, etc felt the same way. Many won’t mask, even though they “love me” or “care about my health.”

according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return

Making a tent/trailer camp in south Florida in the middle of the summer will be inhumane without *extensive* climate control, incredibly vulnerable to hurricanes, and put a *lot* of people at greater risk of illnesses, mosquito-borne & gastrointestinal alike. This is unconscionable.

This is huge! A human rights tribunal found that employers must accommodate remote work for immunocompromised employees Remote work accommodations are something disabled people have needed for decades Covid showed us it’s possible, but ableism & discrimination took it away We all need this right

I see people mention hand sanitizer when they hear lots of coughing. Hand sanitizer does NOT prevent you from inhaling an airborne virus!

ICE has imprisoned the wife of a Marine veteran who was still breastfeeding a 3-month-old baby because her *mother* failed to attend a hearing in 2018 apnews.com/article/ice-...

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

What's a poster you had up in your room growing up? I had two that were very much my aesthetic:

I dunno anymore. Have the cheesecake for lunch

🎵War, huh (good God y'all) What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again🎵

As COVID-19 continues to mutate and spread, many are unsure of what a positive at-home test looks like. Any trace of a line is considered positive. www.covidcaregroup.org/blog/5jmtt4i...

The Pentagon ordered a diversionary flight of B-2 bombers as misdirection, per NYT, because they were afraid Trump was giving the attack away to Iran via his social media posts www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/b...

I looked outside today and all I saw was this

Gaza is dying silently 😔 not just from bombs, but from being forgotten. Homes in ashes, families shattered, and the world keeps scrolling. We are human. We deserve to live. Don’t let our pain fade into silence 💔 Please, stand with us tinyurl.com/osamalife

BREAKING: A judge DENIED the government's motion to detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia pending trial: “The Court will give Abrego the due process that he is guaranteed.” Background www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-ice...

Iran is moving to shut the Strait of Hormuz? Who could have seen this coming besides pretty much everyone? I'm sure the resulting higher gas prices will be blamed on Biden and Obama. www.politico.eu/article/iran...

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

War is a powerful distractor.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration
