It’s getting bad here and yes, I do fully believe it's all going to get worse before it gets better, but I'm staying so that hopefully the worse isn't quite as bad and so the better arrives a little bit sooner. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-americ...

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

It took all of one week before top Republican donors pivoted to the real prize of Trump’s election: the prospect of extending Trump’s tax breaks for the ultrawealthy. It was never about lowering prices. It was always about lining the pockets of Trump’s donors.

🚨 BREAKING: Today, Trump issued an executive order banning well-established and often lifesaving health care for transgender youth. Transgender youth deserve the right to receive the medical care that they need. We will NOT let this cruel ban go unchallenged. LINK: lambdalegal.org?post_type=ne...

The federal funding freeze imposed by the Trump administration will have devastating impacts on people nationwide. Government funding for synagogue security, health care, hunger, education, environmental efforts and much more has all been cut off. This is shameful and must be permanently reversed.
