Some people pointed out to me that MAGAs can't read. So I made my Substack into an explainer video. I hope you like it! And don't be afraid to share it! youtu.be/mSjTpxsPUpU?...

Listen to Eshawney Gaston, service worker in Durham. Medicaid & other programs for low-wage workers are often the only things keeping them from losing everything. Call your members of Congress NOW - (202) 224-3121. Tell them #MedicaidCutsKill.

We don't live in a democracy; we live in hypocrisy. - Sarah Silverman

It was never about arresting violent criminals. It’s about making people afraid. It’s the pseudo power of despots.

What happens when the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes like everyone else? We can invest in a stronger, fairer America — where every kid has a quality education and families aren’t bankrupted by one medical diagnosis.

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

Important work and coverage here by ACLU. Please support them. If US citizens are forcibly removed from their country of citizenship though it is something worse than a deportation. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Another day, another ICE quota met. The child is a legal citizen? Oh well. Mother there for immigration appt? Easy captive. The day’s agenda? Deport before the legal father arrives, before the lawyer gets here, before the court catches up. Cruelty is the point. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/...

UPDATE RE: Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador

New evidence has emerged from The Insider that Russia did indeed offer bounties to kill US and coalition troops in Afghanistan. A reminder that Trump downplayed and protected Russia in 2020 when the NYT broke the story

How will American industry thrive when tariffs to almost every country but Russia will raise the price of doing business? How will prices come down as promised by 47? This is an example of the many countries who are involved in making parts for the Boeing 787. The automotive industry is similar.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Segregation was never just separate facilities It was paying more & getting less in your neighborhood It was getting the Phd, but still not getting hired It was needing police for the police It was building up a newspaper & having it burned (Wells) It was building a school & having it shot up (JSU)

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Way to go!!

“No politician would act like this if he wanted to be reelected.” Yeah. I think they’re hoping they won’t need to worry about reelection…

Wolves have value in and of themselves, but in a world where that intrinsic value might not be enough to sway public opinion, it's important to highlight the ecological and economic impacts of wolves. And boy, can wolves shape an economy for the better!

Hell yeah!

This is a mission everyone should be able to get behind. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been torn from their families. No effort must be spared to bring them home:https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/

ICE & profit hungry detention partners strike again. (Profits per individual detained). So tired of it: “I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sadly, even if judges rule against Trump in his typical unconstitutional actions, what’s to stop him from doing it anyway? But action from the courts is better than none. Fascism cannot last.
