Thank you to everyone who tried to stop this. We have to stand up to this.

🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement. This is child abuse. This is state terror. Worcester police are complicit.

🧵Update: In Worcester, MA, ICE dragged a mother away from her baby & family—without identifying themselves or showing a warrant. She’s now in San Antonio. The community tried to stop them. They were met with force. Read it. Share it. Never forget it tinyurl.com/No-warrant @lukeoneil47.bsky.social

It has been revealed that the USS Harry S. Truman has lost not two but three planes in the last six months, losses totalling $180 million. The 3rd fallen Super Hornet was shot down over the Red Sea by USS Gettysburg (part of the Truman carrier strike group) in a case of friendly fire in December.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl's face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation #immigration

•••••PURGE ALERT••••• Trump gleefully fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and the first Black American to serve as the librarian of Congress. Hayden was appointed in 2016 by President Barack Obama. It seems the Trump regime has identified Dr. Hayden as “anti-Trump” and “woke.” On…

This is America.

Members of an immigrant family in Worcester, Massachusetts were targeted, terrorized, and seized by ICE agents this week. The father was taken into custody by ICE on Wednesday, and agents returned to the family’s home Thursday to execute an arrest of the mother — without a warrant. Worcester…

Speak Truth.....

Russia keeps killing civilians, and our official policy, sadly, is to blame the Ukrainian victims. The US could act to stop this, but we seem to lack both empathy and strategy. Good reporting here. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/w...

Seattle port commissioner: "We currently do not have any container ships at port right now.” So by Trump’s logic this means we’re making money?

She came here as a toddler, and would have been eligible for DACA if the program was not ended. Now she is in ICE detention because she took a right turn on a red light. Her father is in the same detention center, arrested for a traffic violation two weeks prior. newschannel9.com/news/local/f...

Cancer drug Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, Revlimid costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply... Even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. New: @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social @propublica.org

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against the highly dangerous nominee for US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin: "The best outcome would be for Mr. Trump to withdraw Mr. Martin." And in support of Senator Thom Tillis (R-#NorthCarolina)

NEW YORK (AP) - ProPublica wins 2025 Pulitzer for Public Service for reports on deaths of pregnant women in abortion-restricted states.

We didn’t have these problems before the Trump Administration. Just saying. 🫢

🚨BREAKING: Federal District Court REJECTS Republican effort to overturn North Carolina Supreme Court election result. Orders the state to certify the results of the election and not proceed with the cure process. Congratulations to our clients, the ELG team, Justice Riggs and the voters of NC!

HUGE ruling—by a conservative judge—that is almost certain to be affirmed by the 4th Circuit and is unlikely to be disturbed by SCOTUS. Justice Riggs’ final victory draws much closer.

BREAKING: Judge Richard Myers rules that the N.C. Supreme Court's handling of the state supreme court election violated the U.S. Constitution. The win for Justice Riggs, a Democrat, is to be certified. Today's ruling stayed for 7 days for Judge Griffin, a Republican, to appeal "if he so chooses."

Big news in North Carolina: A federal judge (appointed by Trump) has handed a major loss to Republican Jefferson Griffin, who's trying to overturn November's supreme court race. The judge, Richard Myers, ordered North Carolina's Board of Elections to certify Democratic Justice Allison Riggs's win.

Just got off the phone with Mrs Sicknick and just more slaps in the face with this settlement. She asked "why did my son die" (in response to all the whitewashing that is being done about January 6th) if it was a day of love, why is my son dead" Total miscarriage of justice

She never even had a speeding ticket. So much for Trump’s claim that’s he’s only rounding up dangerous undocumented immigrants. Sánchez was moved between ICE facilities & was in the air to Havana before her attorney was even able get a hearing.

Trump is really out here asking SCOTUS to let Elon’s DOGE access Social Security??? They are not just coming for your check—they are coming for the whole damn system.

And there you have it.

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

Republicans on Oversight held a hearing attacking NPR & PBS. Now Trump’s following up by slashing funding for local public media that keep families informed & kids learning. As Vice Ranker, I’m calling it what it is: an assault on truth & accountability.

Casualties in World War II: Soviet Union: 26,600,000. United States: 407,316. And the Russians got to Berlin first. So, no, the United States did not do "more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result 'on' World War II." That is just propaganda.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Congress created the grants in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The goal was to help schools hire mental health professionals, including counselors and social workers.
