Oh. Tanning bed companies are getting a tax break while people with skin cancer are getting kicked off Medicaid? None of this is making America great.

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

I hope U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy does hold every single person involved in the illegal deportation of people to South Sudan against his injunction in contempt. These judges need to grow spines and hold people accountable.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

Our country is in deep trouble when our DHS Secretary says habeas corpus is the PRESIDENT’s right to remove people from the country. 😱 In fact, it’s an arrestee’s right to seek a court hearing to challenge his detention. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

This is real life, y’all. These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy. Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

Tulsi Gabbard's Chief of Staff told a top intelligence analyst to rewrite a report to claim that Venezuela' government directed Tren de Aragua to commit crimes in the U.S. - so the report would support using the Alien Enemies Act to avoid due process. 🎁 Article www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

“We need to do some rewriting” and more analytic work “so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS,” Joe Kent, chief of staff to Ms. Gabbard, wrote to a group of intelligence officials on April 3. So it would justify use of the Alien Enemies Act. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

Verizon ended its DEI policies. They told employees that they were required to by SCOTUS and Trump's Executive Orders — they lied. They did it so the FCC would approve their $20B acquisition of Frontier. Corporate greed over what's right, every time. popular.info/p/verizon-sa...
