If there are only 1.2 million of "illegal aliens" receiving benefits why not just stop their benefits?? Why is it necessary to cut benefits for 12 - 13 million more people??? The GOP is lying and this is just cruelty.

All places!

Any politician who says "illegals" are getting Social Security or Medicaid should be required to apply for both and see just how easy it is not.

It's pretty obvious to me that many of the ICE goons in all the raid videos circulating around are not trained law enforcement personnel, and I'm looking forward to an investigative report telling us who those people are, who recruited them, and under what legal authority are they operating.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

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

This is a plot written by a six year old. Ridiculous fantasy.

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.

Wow - this is the type of conversations we need to be having.

This is how white supremacist narratives work. This claim has been litigated repeatedly and proven to be NOT TRUE. But they “feel it.” You can’t disprove it. The Lost Cause. Reverse Discrimination. Welfare Queens. The whole thing survives on myths. www.yahoo.com/news/vice-pr...

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

What do the coins mean? A penny: A veteran visited. A nickel: The visitor was in basic with them. A dime: The visitor served with them in some direct capacity. A quarter: The visitor was with them when they passed. The coins should remain undisturbed. #MemorialDay🇺🇸

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!

New numbers from ITEP on tax cuts in House tax bill: It’s a $79,000 tax cut for the top 1%. This is just not what America needs.

Omfg... They've outdumbfucked themselves.

Then he arrived a decade ago: someone who gave them what they needed to finally abandon the performance completely: permission to be horrible; a person who erased any semblance of decorum, any expectation of decency, any level of accountability. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-presi...

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including: •Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive •America’s supply chain isn’t ready •Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs •Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

They have you busy fighting a gender war to keep you from fighting a class war.

The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty. Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.

Go, Pope, go!

I thought China was going to pay for them. What happened to that?

Question: Why would 🇺🇸 companies have to “eat them” if the other countries already pay them? Answer: They don’t. Tariffs are a tax on us. time.com/7285637/walm...

Yeah why is that?

There are things every one of us can do in our daily lives to help ensure free and fair elections — and, in doing so, limit Trump’s power. Some actions are small — so small that you might dismiss them as unimportant. Don’t. Every important journey begins with a single step.
