These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

The Trump administration demands student protesters not be masked - but routinely sends out masked and often ununiformed ICE agents to detain immigrants. "masking—as with overkill in the quantity of agents, vehicles, and weaponry sent in to a scene—does convey a message of intimidation."

When your community/state ends up facing a disaster from wildfires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc and can't get any help from FEMA, remember Trump spent his days and our taxpayer dollars feuding with Harvard

There are no “moderate” voters. There are Trump voters who make excuses for their vote by saying that Democrats are too far left. The most unfortunate byproduct of this phenomenon lies in the Democratic strategists and pollsters and candidates chasing nonexistent “moderate” voters.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

By changing CDC guidelines on who can get the COVID vaccine It will likely not be covered by insurance and Medicare/Medicaid So if people want it, they’re going to have to pay for it Meaning that those who can’t afford it are out of luck

Pretty much all of my novels are in these data sets, and I certainly wouldn't mind getting several million in damages. I even have a charitable foundation I could put that money into.

The recent MAHA Commission called kids in America "the sickest generation in American history in terms of chronic disease" It failed to mention the HUGE progress we have made in childhood mortality over the past 50 years Deaths for every age group of kids down 50-75% Here's CDC's Data

Republicans called cancelling student loan debt a “giveaway” to the working class, so Trump is restarting predatory student loan repayments to fund tax breaks that are giveaways to corporations and the super-wealthy. This what an oligarchy robbing us blind looks like.

Interesting that all of those articles talking about how Target’s falling sales must mean the economy is bad seem to leave out that in that same time Costco, which refused to get rid of its DEI policies has seen sales increase. Media will do ANYTHING to avoid admitting consumer boycotts work.

This number is not “grossly inflated”. It’s wildly absurd and impossible. When I saw it, I asked my husband to look in the cupboards under the TV, because there must be at least 15 undocumented people snuggled in there. I mean, with 21 million in a single year they’re probably everywhere.

I’m so angry. A couple weeks ago, I had a life-threatening allergic reaction to an antibiotic and went to the ER in the middle of the night. They looked at me and said,“Good thing you came in”. About a week later, I get a letter from from “a clinician” at Blue Cross…. (1)

U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

U-Haul's slogan is “Moving Made Easier” but it’s turning into “Hate on the Move.” Hey @UHaul.com — you better figure out how to stop renting trucks to Patriot Front, or you’re going to be known as the official moving van of white supremacists.

@rugger4equality.bsky.social thanks - I understand that this won't happen, but it's a way to focus attention clearly on what medicaid cuts really mean. The money goes to hospitals, providers, and nursing homes, not patients. Lose that money, close your doors

@warren.senate.gov Please add an amendment to this bill, providing funding to teach obstetrics to state police. When medicaid cuts force hospital closures, a lot of rural women are going to be delivering on the highway shoulder, because they won't be able to get to the closest hospital in time.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care. Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care. I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I looked into this a bit more. It's worse than it first appeared. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1956...
