No matter how many studies prove them wrong, the government is going to continue to operate under the false assumption that immigrants are more likely to commit crimes—that means subjecting them to extreme surveillance measures without probable cause.

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

Sara Haines: “For a nickname to come back at him and see how that feels…” Whoopi: “T — A — C — O” #TACO #TrumpAlwaysChickensOut

Joe Walsh is the first Alzheimer's patient to be treated with an experimental nasal spray designed to reduce inflammation in the brain.

Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table. Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.

Harvard president receives standing ovation during commencement.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated. Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

It’s been around since 1983.

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

In 1779, during the Revolutionary War, John Paul Jones was outgunned, surrounded, and sinking when the British called on him to surrender. He basically said “no, go fuck yourselves, you fucking assholes.”

Joe Exotic and other Trump supporters just don't get it. Trump doesn’t care about them. He never did and he never will. He’s a sociopath and a conman.

How do you feel today, humans?

Democrats like Hollywood because we see it as art, entertainment, creativity and a way to teach people (storytelling). Republicans hate Hollywood because they don’t like talented artists outperforming their destructive ass clown show that has real life consequences in politics.

(Reuters) - The euro could become a viable alternative to the dollar, earning the 20-nation bloc immense benefits, if governments could only strengthen the bloc's financial and security architecture, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Monday. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

💥 BREAKING: Shareholders of Merck & Co one of the largest pharma companies in the world, voted today to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. Merck Board recommended shareholders vote against proposal that called for eliminating "discriminatory DEI milestones" from executive compensation.

2015: “They’re not sending their best” 2025: “Let’s get rid of the best and keep them out”

Fact-check: What they actually want is to be able to ask their congressman some questions. Rep. Andy Ogles hides from town halls, hijacks Memorial Day to peddle his anti-immigrant hate inside a locked Capitol… then taunts and mocks the people he’s supposed to represent 👇🏽

Abortion bans are a violation of the separation of church and state. So are book bans. So are anti-LGBT laws. So are school vouchers. Notice a pattern?

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

A view of Main Street in West, Texas ---- the town of West north of Waco, not the geographical direction ---- circa 1940. All of these buildings still stand. Those old Czechs knew how to build buildings that last!

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Not only was the promise not kept, it’s like it never happened. We get it, there aren’t enough votes to pass real reform. Most of us are pragmatic—but to just drop it completely? To stop even talking about it, like it’s been erased? That’s the part that hits the hardest for me.

A record number of Americans applied for British citizenship in the first three months of this year, and for the right to live and work in Britain indefinitely, according to official data.

4 Seattle police officers, married couple Caitlin and Alexander Everett and 2 still unnamed officers think participating in the Jan 6 insurrection is protected political activity. Seek SCOTUS protection to stop the release of their names. Criminal dirty cops www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Texas is a petrie dish for every festering authoritarian experiment, banning bodies, books, immigrants and truth. It’s not governance, it’s a lab test for how much cruelty and control a state can pump into law before people break. #WakeUp

This is not it.
