For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

ICE arrested Elsy Noemi Berrios without cause or due process, damaging her car and traumatizing her family in the process. America cannot be a country where this is considered acceptable. Call Congress to demand due process: 202-224-3121 #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump #PeoplesMovement

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

A Texas cop used 83,000+ license plate readers to hunt down a woman… for having an abortion. Legal in many states. Still hunted. This isn’t about safety—it’s about control. Welcome to reproductive surveillance in 2025. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #ObSky #NurseSky

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.
