“.. California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the raids, calling them ‘chaotic federal sweeps’ that aimed to fill an ‘arbitrary arrest quota.’” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

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.

“Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

No offense to anyone, but if you don’t instantly see how straight-up evil the Trump administration is being here you weren’t raised right This man isn’t in a gang, has no criminal record, was never charged with crimes pre-Trump, and everyone involved in this *scam* well knows it

We have an official ruling

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

I hate myself for this.

BREAKING 🚨: United States Treasury U.S. Treasury just bought back $10 Billion of its own debt, the largest Treasury buyback in history 👀

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

San Antonio police have walked back on a previous statement that there was no evidence of a hate crime in the killing of actor Jonathan Joss, with the police chief now calling the statement “premature.”

Okay I know you all are watching some sort of train crash, BUT our 4-yo just marched into the room and said “You know what? I LOVE BOOKS. I love books more than probably anyone.”

Everyone on Twitter right now.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Very good question.

I regret to inform you that ackman is at it again

And to think, Canada could have been a part of this well-run real grown-up country for the low-low price of $61-billion for a missile defence system that won't work

I wish them both the worst.

Elon posting on X that Trump “is in the Epstein files” was definitely not on our bingo card.
