what if we put the people breaking laws and ignoring court orders into jail? is that an option? we can apparently do it to people who haven't broken any laws and are just too brown, so I have to assume we can do it to people who are actually doing bad shit, right? I hate it here.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

70 Michigan students are facing deportation. No explanation. No due process. Just revenge. This is Trump making good on his threat to punish student protestors—and using immigration as his weapon. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s already here.

If Trump & RFK Jr. actually cared about “Making America Healthy Again,” they wouldn’t be dismantling the agencies that keep our food and drugs safe. @repsummerlee.bsky.social serves an honest #CupOfJoe calling out the false narratives of RFK Jr. & FOTUS.

I'm currently reading Attack From Within by Barbara McQuade, and it's very informative but also very painful to relive all Trump's lies. 😮‍💨 💙📚👀💡📚🎧

I think it's fair to judge Cybertruck owners, but I always try to give other Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt.

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

People are now referring to Pete Hegseth as “WhiskiLeaks” and I’m kinda miffed that I didn’t think of it first.

"Another CDC study on vaccines and autism is a waste of resources." Exactly. It's already been proven that there is no connection between vaccines and autism, and when this study shows the same, will it do anything to change anti-vaccers minds? 💉 #YLE open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

You can go ahead and skip the safety checks on these to get them done faster, Boeing. Or you know what? Just do what you normally do. 👍

Another completely unwarranted cut. Not only were states using these funds to feed school kids, but they were also purchasing from small and disadvantaged farmers. The program helped both citizens and small businesses. This is not government waste. The program should be reinstated.

Exactly this. I know it's a complex situation, and people will be hurt by a government shutdown, but when Republicans know we won't fight back, we're just handing them power.

Sen Slotkin: Will need help for people to understand how Medicaid is important to so many lives. We need stories and first-hand accounts. Medicare & Soc Security are 'the big enchilada'--Musk is threatening to cut them. After tomorrow, we'll have more info. ALSO-- watch the USPS. NO privatization!

Reggie Miller is my rep. I put a sign up in my yard and helped write postcards to get her re-elected. Many people in my circle went to bat for her hard and this vote is a slap in the face to trans kids and adults, LGBTQIA+ people, and allies who believed she was better. 🏳️‍🌈

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
