Retired teacher, who utterly despises anyone who think it's just fine putting a serial rapist in a position of authority over 180 million women and girls.

They sure didn't want to wear masks to contain germs, but now look.

Keep this energy, kid

Besides the obvious discrimination against poor folks, I think having “Must have reliable transportation” is stupid because cars are not reliable and thusly none of us in the US have reliable transportation. This message brought to you by “WE COULDA HAD TRAINS! AHHHHH! WHY DONT WE HAVE TRAINS!?”

Ohio food banks are under strain as Trump has slashed federal aid programs. In March, the USDA canceled a pandemic-era program that funded about $500 million annually for food banks. It also froze about $500 million in funding for a core nutrition program reut.rs/45HxMm3

I don’t mean to be a bother, but I was told there would be a hand basket?

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

Why is there no live TV coverage?

If you do get teargassed, BAG YOUR CLOTHES. Wash them as soon as you can, or throw them out.

If you think ICE agents are justified in disrupting an elementary school graduation to detain parents in front of their traumatized children, we will never see eye to eye on anything.

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

This beautiful book has been banned. So I got my copy #ReadBannedBooks

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all. Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

When Huerta says “We are a power” He means the farmworker, the janitor, the nurse, the home care provider. The workers. And he’s right. You can’t detain a movement. #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemAll

North Carolina’s Supreme Court allowed a GOP-backed law to take effect after a lower court said it’s “unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt.” The law strips the Democratic governor of power over elections and hands it over to a Republican. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

To state what’s hopefully obvious, being rich doesn’t mean you’re smart. The much more important determiner for wealth, other than being born rich, is likely ruthlessness. And most people who are really good at what they do, and who are making a real contribution — aren’t motivated by being rich.

This is horrible, 3 of his sons served and he is not allowed on American soil. How can anyone think this is okay? FDT

These are masked men, with weapons, no warrants and this is extrajudicial abduction, and with local police aiding and abetting this thuggery. It is illegal under international human rights law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

A huge reason any of these bad things are happening is that people were permitted to get away with obvious and public crimes with no consequences.

Fuck ICE and every single politician and person in power not stopping them.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Me, a squishy New Deal liberal, watching this shit

They are trying to force Harvard to admit more conservative students. Pardon me, but that sounds an awful lot like DEI, only DEI for stupid people.

Last night ICE hit Chinatown. They pepper bombed civilians while the country was watching LAPD fire rubber bullets and tear gas downtown.

In 2019, NIAID proposed an ambitious scientific network focused on pandemic preparedness, research, and response - the "CREID Network". Ten centers kicked off just as the pandemic was taking off, playing critical roles throughout. We were just notified the whole network is terminated. Reason? 👇

*narrator* he did in fact come back.

I remember walking across campus and seeing a security guard with yellow tape surrounding an area of fresh concrete. To keep students from writing their names in it, I guess. I watched as a squirrel dashed across it. Those little prints were there for years.
