INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The idea of two sexes or two genders is simplistic, outdated, and scientifically refuted with clear scientific evidence based on genetic breakthroughs of the past 100 years. www.nature.com/articles/518...

Note to my BIL: …like everything else -the issue of gender/and “sex assignment at birth” is way more complex than internet memes make it seem. You might find this article interesting and enlightening: www.newsweek.com/can-woman-ha...

Why is the “oa” so afraid of anybody speaking to Mr. Abrego Garcia? (Pretty obvious answers here). I hope and pray that Mr. Abrego Garcia is still alive.

Please reach out to your elected officials. Please write your own letter or use this one. We all should be extremely worried.

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

8647 is a (not so closeted) closet antisemite and is using his ostensible fight against antisemitism as an excuse to cut funding, accessibility, and DEI at our nation’a great institutions of higher learning. This administration is rife with pathological liars.

Every American should listen to @warren.senate.gov support @booker.senate.gov ‘s record breaking speech, with her question: …how the “evil incarnate of the US” and his minions and puppet-masters are conspiring to rob Americans of their hard earned social security payments?” youtu.be/X_l--GZtEDE

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

This is the most disturbing item that I have reposted since the “evil. Incarnate of the US” assumed office. Everybody should read it because I fear that @branking.bsky.social is correct.

Right now @booker.senate.gov is filibustering on the senate floor “for as long as [he is] physically able.” Grateful to see Dems with some fight in them! This part about John Lewis is particularly meaningful. Check it out and then go find Senator Booker live on every platform!!
