Turns out the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants that the administration deported to high security Salvadoran prison—whom Trump characterized as “the worst of the worst”—had not been convicted of any crimes here, and they knew it. The whole Administration is one huge bitcoin swindle.

Bluesky should talk about Palestine more.

Does your state allow medical marijuana use? Trump wants to take that away. www.marijuanamoment.net/trump-wants-...

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

NEW: The mother of an Arizona man who died after being unable to find mental health treatment is suing his health insurer, saying it broke the law by publishing false information that misled its customers. By @maxblau.bsky.social

Needs to be said: As of 2025, the 10 states with the highest poverty rates: 1. Mississippi– 19.3% 2.Louisiana–18.6% 3.New Mexico –18.1% 4.West Virginia–17.0% 5.Kentucky–15.9% 6.Arkansas–15.3% 7.Alabama–15.0% 8.Oklahoma– 14.5% 9.Tennessee–13.5% 10. South Carolina–13.5% Who’d they vote for?

This part

Yes.

This Is Honestly The Truth..

Michiganders should not have to die earlier merely because some of my Republican colleagues in Congress think that they are going to die anyways. We need to protect Medicaid and SNAP.

I’m going to be super clear. No child should be zip tied. Ever! Fuck ICE for traumatizing children. This is child abuse. Every agent that abuses children this way belongs in prison. There’s no justification for this depraved behavior #UnmaskICE www.tpr.org/border-immig...

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

ICE dragged a mother off the street while she screamed “my kids are in school.”
 Trump has ordered 3,000 arrests every single day.
 This is what that looks like. Don’t look away.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Trump just canceled a $766 million contract with Moderna to develop a pandemic bird flu vaccine, right as their early trial showed strong results. Why? Politics over preparedness. RFK Jr. runs HHS. He hates mRNA. So science gets sidelined. Bird flu is mutating. The clock is ticking.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

I don’t usually weigh in for primaries, but this one is really important to me. secure.actblue.com/donate/polit...

Republicans’ budget bill earmarks a staggering $45 billion for immigrant detention centers. The biggest beneficiaries? Private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group – who both donated hefty sums to Trump’s inauguration. Always follow the money.

How does this Make America Healthy Again?

I had to read this twice: "Cory Booker Votes To Confirm Jared Kushner’s Felon Dad as Ambassador to France." Then I remembered this: www.mediaite.com/politics/cor...

Pete Buttigieg is piecing together a Democratic response to the chaos of Trumpism – and everything that comes after. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

"Dozens of mergers in recent years have left us with an oligopoly that makes flying more expensive and treats customer service as an afterthought." @wjm-air.bsky.social in @msnbc.com breaks down how air traffic control failures at EWR are part of a larger issue in American air travel.

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

Trump wants to balloon the military budget to over $1 TRILLION per year — while cutting roughly that amount from Medicaid and SNAP. Meanwhile, the Pentagon just failed its 7th consecutive audit. "Fiscal responsibility."

Working eighty hours a month to stay on Medicaid is like running a mile a day to keep your wheelchair.
