I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

Women’s rights are not ancient history—they’re recent, hard-won, and still at risk. We’ve come so far in such a short time, but there’s more work to do. Stay loud. Stay strong. Keep climbing—and always reach back to lift another woman up.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

There's an important second part to this which is that if you want money out of politics the only answer is action. If enough people don't take action to be involved in politics money will fill that gap.

Sen. Van Hollen and his meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is all over the news and social media. Joe Rogan is talking about the value of due process, wrongly denied to Abrego Garcia. Thankfully the “just poll, then do what’s already popular, never try to lead or shape opinion” crowd lost.

We are never winning this fight against fascism if people keep asking their readers to pay an app that platforms and monetizes racist, anti-Semitic, anti-trans voices. I want people to feel guilty when they ask their readers to pay Nazi tithes. I want every request to be swarmed by people saying No.

Meanwhile, DOJ lawyers are threatening medical journals for not providing adequate "viewpoint diversity" and for misinforming their readership, which I suppose means not publishing enough of the stupid shit that RFK Jr., JB, etc. keep saying. This is an outrageous First Amendment violation.

I am honestly so disgusted by this trend within Extremism Expert circles where now that we live under fascism, we're coding far right extremism as "no clear ideology, they just like miscellaneous hate groups, what a startling development" NO. They're fucking Nazis. What the fuck.

This is why - even as a person who was a DV/SA victim's advocate - I am extremely leery about victim's rights groups. We have a justice system (deeply flawed though it is) and there is a reason that when someone commits a violent crime (or any crime) that it's Smith v. County/State/US...
