The media is getting "red ballooned" by Biden's cancer. Donald Trump is literally sending people who are here legally to die in foreign prisons, and you are, without evidence, saying he hid a cancer diagnosis that wouldn't have fucking mattered.

This Congresswoman did nothing wrong. So why is Alina Habba indicting her? open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

These men were supposed to go to Vietnam and Myanmar. Instead, they're being disappeared to war-torn South Sudan.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

Let me make this simple: 1) People have been fired - our economy & governmental services have been interrupted because of the firings. 2) The proposed budget includes - cuts to federal worker’s benefits, cuts to Medicaid, cuts to food assistance, & deep tax cuts for the RICH,

Despite swearing otherwise just months ago, Republicans have now revealed their plan to take Medicaid away from millions of Americans. There has to be accountability - for the harm and for the lies.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Well done, Miss Feldman.

Back with another Medicaid myth to bust. Let's go! 🚫 Myth: Immigrants get free Medicaid without paying in. ✅ Fact: Immigrants do pay into Medicaid—but most don’t qualify for full benefits unless they’ve been lawful residents for 5+ years. 📞 Call 866-426-2631—tell Congress: Protect Medicaid.

When a mom alleged that Idaho was wrongfully keeping kids with dyslexia and other disabilities from special education, the Department of Education found she was right. Idaho was accepting students with specific disabilities at half the national rate. With @idahostatesman.com

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

This part

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

“Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.” - Dr. Carla Hayden This is a Dr. Hayden appreciation post.

And why was Baraka there in the first place? Turns out the private prison facility is violating the law, but also unwilling to be served with legal process apple.news/AV9JgWB8fQq6...

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Exactly. The Pope adheres to ancient, straightforward Sunday School teachings about helping the needy and not being cruel to the vulnerable. That this is being portrayed as radical and partisan says way more about the ones making the accusation than it does about him.

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire is older than ICE.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

An important reminder ⤵️ that the Trump WH is a propaganda machine above all else. Be smart about those ‘trade deal announcement’ stories & headlines on Thurs. It’ll likely be an all hat, no cattle move like usual so we need journalism, not stenography.

The corruption is staggering. So brazen. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

If a racist white woman attacking a 5-year old was your first exposure to Christian crowdfunding site @givesendgo.bsky.social, you might want to do some digging into their pro-J6 / pro-NeoNazi ties. Here, a @rollingstone.com piece from 2023:

Let's try and get 1,000 letters out in the next few hours telling Congress no cuts EVER to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Do you agree Trump should be impeached and removed? Tell Congress that here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This. So much. Why is this suddenly ok? Just because he believes he can't be prosecuted for it? That's wrong. Corruption isn't even remotely within the remotest perimeters of official and thus protected acts. It is explicitly prohibited by the Constitution. Which means it can't be official. Wake up.

The corporate media’s coverage of the protests was horrible. A lot of news orgs ran one or two small pieces, but they barely scratched the surface of what was happening on the ground. So I’m here to bring you some of the inspirational stories from our amazing subscribers who saw it all firsthand.

The Constitution forbids bribery *3 separate times*. So important to the Founders they included two emoluments clauses, and made it the only named impeachable offense besides treason. The Constitution is clear on banning bribery. It's just that Congress and the courts decided to pretend otherwise.

When famously squaring off with President Donald Trump over education funding, Mills said she would see Trump in court. She did just that, and on Friday she won a settlement for her state, for the kids and for people everywhere who needed to see a certain asshole bully get punched right in the eye.
