"...a root vegetable."

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

20% of Medicaid have no idea. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Mr. Trump—I’ve known Chris Van Hollen since the last century, and the last thing anyone who knows him would call him is a grandstander. He’s a defender of human rights. You should meet with him—you could learn something. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I am advocating for due process for Albrego Garcia.

Holy shit “Greg Pearre, a career civil servant who led an IT team working on the agency’s data systems, was removed over his opposition to a DOGE plan to cut off immigrants from key financial services”

Tomorrow, El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. The press needs to drive a wedge between him & Trump's lies in court that he has no power to get Kilmar Abrego García released. "Why are you refusing to cooperative with President Trump to release innocent Kilmar Abrego García?"

Say what you will about Bernie- Love him. Hate him. But he IS (with AOC) the only one standing up for us! Just saying…

#Pritzker called #Trump and #Musk what they both are: idiots. #SheShed

my question is why? why are right wingers eager to destroy deposit insurance? what do they imagine they are accomplishing?

Yeah, retaliation tweets are soooo scary. Well, if you’re a GOP-er, I guess they are. Wusses, the lot of them. And bullies, the lot of what fills the White House.

Okay, no. I don’t forgive anyone who voted for him. And I won’t ever. You want to be the better person, knock yourself out.

This is a great message tool. Make it go viral.

Donald's babysitters must have been *extra-busy* today keeping that thin-skinned toddler from seeing pics of all the thousands of people throughout America taking to streets to say they are OVER Trump and Musk and the chaos/destruction they bring.

This makes so much sense.

Love this for us. :)

I agree 100%. Golden years, my a$$ thanks to those two a$$es.

We have 48 hours to stop Elon Musk from warping Wisconsin into an anti-democratic stronghold. We need to reach out to voters to remind them about this crucial election! You can be a hero! You can be the one who makes the difference by encouraging voters to save democracy. gdhq.info/LetsWinWI--MC

My sister is going through some things right now and a friend sent this to her. It struck me that we ALL could use this right now. youtu.be/Qop5XLgwkNc

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

Yes. I do not want to ever 'move on' again. Every time we turn the cheek, overlook the criminality, absolve the sins, they come back worse. I want punishment. Deterrence. Retribution. Err on the side of excess, not lenity. Anything less is asking them to come back worse yet again.

BWAHAHAHAHA all true.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.
