My mother raised me to have compassion for immigrants, undocumented and otherwise, to look out for the poor and vulnerable, and otherwise embrace liberal values that enable everyone to achieve and be their best - it was the best gift she ever gave me.

Truly alarming. Up is down, down is up, our world is imploding, and we and the world are f-cked. (Gift article)

Brilliant - kick out immigrants providing essential health services to Americans, particulary to seniors in long term care.

But if the daily intel briefing involved strippers you might finally get him to pay attention.

I finished watching A Handmaid’s Tale last night. Eerily prescient, as a woman lies brain dead in an AL hospital, not allowed to die as her relatives wish because she is incubating a fetus, and a dictator runs rampant in the name of God. But in the story, love and freedom win over hate and control.

A first-of-its-kind analysis of Illinois Department of Transportation’s traffic-stop data by @raceandequityproject.org in collaboration with WBEZ and @chicago.suntimes.com found campus cops pulled over Black drivers at higher rates and also ticketed them more often. www.wbez.org/data/2025/05...

NYT: Joni Ernst ‘was fielding questions about cuts to Medicaid that were included in the domestic policy bill working its way through Congress, when someone in the audience yelled out that the effect would be that “people are going to die.” “Well, we all are going to die,” Ms. Ernst responded.’

How many government employees can claim to have such an impact on the world? According to this impact counter, Elon and his enabler-in-chief have killed over 300,000 people in just a few months.

Conservative NYT columnist David Brooks: "Trumpism can be seen as a giant attempt to amputate the highest aspirations of the human spirit and to reduce us to our most primitive, atavistic tendencies."

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

The president of South Africa was so calm and dignified in his response to Trump‘s outrageous accusations of white genocide. On another note, look at Trump‘s tie… he’s actually sitting on it, It’s so long. 🤣

Wow. One of the print outs Trump held up was an article from the racist/conspiracist website American Thinker. Not only that, the specific picture was from the DRC and involved Black women (not white S. African farmers) who had been killed. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

When Deloitte wrapped up a $10.7 million publicity campaign for Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement experiment in February, enrollment was less than 3% of the approximately 250,000 Georgians who are potentially eligible. By @savmargaret.bsky.social ‪

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

They really want to take us back to the 1950s, by giving the middle finger to civil rights laws that so many fought so hard for.

This is how you don't let them avoid the question. They want to redirect and ignore the question? Let them know the truth. "THEN SO HAS YOUR LEGITIMACY" @repbonnie.bsky.social bringing the 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

This is a must read from conservative legal scholar and former judge Michael Luttig. "From across the ages, Frederick Douglass is crying out that we Americans never forget: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

THIS. "The freedom to speak becomes meaningless when disconnected from the possibility of being heard." "To remain on advisory boards that have been stripped of meaningful advisory function is to become that shopkeeper, to lend legitimacy to a process that has been systematically delegitimized."

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

This is outrageous. How anyone could believe this regime is pro working-class is beyond me. This is nothing but a giveaway to big business that wants to save money by making energy-hogging appliances.

These companies are the real thugs and predators of America, sucking up every last dollar from the poor and depositing it into the pockets of the rich.
