Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

From campaign 2024 -- Trump's planned mass deportations promises and how ICE operated under Biden. Huge contrast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjCH...

Beginning on the night of May 31, 1921, thousands of white citizens in Tulsa, Oklahoma descended on the city’s predominantly Black Greenwood District, burning homes and businesses to the ground and killing hundreds of people. Still one of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history

Choose kindness—because you never know when the fear, mockery, or scorn of a generation will mold the next C-tier supervillain.

Billions in foreign real estate deals. $320M in crypto trading fees — and a private dinner with top buyers of his meme coin. $28M from Amazon for a Melania documentary. The list goes on... We're so numb to Trump profiting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices. Hello?

Good morning. Your Monday morning reminder to fight fascism and never give up. We are better together. We can and will defeat this corrupt regime.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

Trump in 2024: we are going to deport illegal immigrants, who committed crimes, to their home country Trump in early 2025: we are sending legal immigrants, with no criminal record, to random foreign gulags Trump in midway through 2025: we are going to deport legal visitors studying at Harvard

And absolutely a Trumper

LISTEN as GOP Sen. Johnson admits the GOP tax scam will increase the deficit by $4 trillion with the Big Beautiful Bill, and that Medicaid will be cut: "Now what are you going to cut? Medicaid, absolutely" #StopTheBillionaireBailout
