"I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid, but they'll get over it." No Mitch, #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid And THIS?? Arresting and zip tying Americans with disabilities? 2026 is coming 🗳️ The chorus of voices rises nationwide. The reckoning has already begun. ✌🏽♿️💙

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

This is how MAGA honors our Disabled Combat Veterans. By having ICE arrest them and put them in Detention Centers for deportation. Fuck tRump and everyone who voted for the shit 💩 stain 🫟 !!

Hey Republicans - how many hundreds of billions did Trump pay private prisons to detain immigrants last time, paying more to house children separately? Because Trump FIRED all the immigration judges delaying deportation hearings. Why are Americans paying to house immigrants you want to deport?

Disabled activist Carol Olinger is still in custody after peacefully protesting GOP Medicaid cuts. She needs insulin NOW & has kidney dialysis at 6am. This is medical neglect—cruel and deliberate. Her life is at risk. We demand her release & care. Please share widely!

NEW: The CDC's vaccine safety office is hiring the former head of an anti-vaccine group founded by RFK Jr., officials say.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

And there it is.

The Chump Deportation Exploitation is coming to a Neighborhood near you......

WATCH: “He was cutting grass.” Soboroff & Wallace on the sickening beating of the father of 3 Marines, and how @joerogan says he wouldn’t have signed up if he had know it would be like this, “tearing the fabric of the community”. (But he should have known)

US is conducting an interesting experiment to see if a lawless and nakedly political Supreme Court can work in concert with the branches to destroy the rule of law despite the best efforts of the rest of the federal courts

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

The government’s disability cuts will have a “devastating” impact on women’s health and dignity and could breach equality law, experts warn. The new rules won’t take into account menstruation or some women’s extra toilet requirements. My exclusive: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Damn right!!!

Things that make you go hmm 🤬💥

Children’s charity KidsCan is reporting a 15% spike in demand for school food compared to last year. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️ Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home. nycacc.app#/browse/225834

Things that make you go hmm, what will you ever do? 🤬🙄

Pope Leo condemns US bombing Iran

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

Ah 👇

Come on, people. Have you no decency? Whose idea was it to glitter bomb ICE? ☠️ 😂

Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States of America is hard at work hunting down and arresting random beloved local bagel shop managers. Neighbors and friends respond: pix11.com/news/local-n...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

NEW VIDEO: Last Tuesday, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was manhandled and arrested by ICE officials while serving as an advocate in immigration court. Comptroller Lander joined me to discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbY3...

Breaking: Armed, unidentified, masked men who abducted a U.S. citizen from the street charged with impersonating a federal law enforcement official.

Take note.

Reminder: Afghan interpreters helped US troops, some were executed. For their invaluable services, they were given Special Immigrant Visas and invited to live in the USA. Now Trump’s DHS is threatening to deport them. Does the USA keep our promises anymore? amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/07/...

Note: 80% of the land is in Blue States. Strange? @basedmikelee.bsky.social can Frick-off

Covid #vaccines are important for maternal and fetal health. Pregnant women who contracted covid-19 were more likely to become severely ill, to be hospitalized, and even die than non-pregnant women. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Proud to stand alongside women leaders from all corners of our country in this moment. We’re speaking with one voice to make it clear: there is no place for political violence in our communities. Together, we will demand - and create - a safer democracy.

🚨NEW: Federal Judge Allison Burroughs has blocked the Trump Administration from prohibiting Harvard from hosting international students. REPOST to thank Judge Burroughs for standing up for our democracy!

After 9th Circuit win, Trump says he’ll deploy military “should State and Local Police be unable, for whatever reason, to get the job done.” And masked federal agents seize people off streets, and Congress is set to appropriate tens of billions for detention and deportation. The road to despotism.
