It’s not theoretical. It’s not a future threat. It’s already here: a system of detention and deportation operating outside the law.

Labor has a FANTASTIC story to tell this election - they delivered MORE services *with* tax cuts to ordinary people. That is the literal definition of efficiency. The Liberals cost more and did less. #auspol

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t β€œmake America healthy again.”

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: β€œI would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Wave of Earth Day protests as Americans mobilize against Trump https://twp.ai/4ilsMz

A reminder that Donald Trump and his allies used all of their political capital to confirm Pete Hegseth β€” And Senate Republicans overwhelmingly voted to confirm him. The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress own the ongoing SignalGate scandal.

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

It’s so adorable that Pete Hegseth thought it was going to be *Pentagon leakers* who made him look bad. Bless his little heart.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I think Jesus never said this

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Hang on. The Orange Oaf said he’d end the war within 24 hours of getting back in the White House.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

I want to take a moment to point out that what Senator Van Hollen just did, flying to El Salvador and getting a meeting with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, took more guts than donnie trump has ever had in his whole dishonest, abusive life.

How in the fuck do we live in a world where so many Americans care deeply about the Constitutional amendments which promise them the right to bear arms but not at all about the Constitutional amendments which promise them the right to due process under the law? #NewsCorpse
