Congratulations to Team Canada for their exciting win tonight. And also to Chantal Kreviazuk for the most offkey but on-target shade of 2025 thus far. 🇨🇦❤️😎🫡

WATCH: Canada beats USA 3-2 to win Four Nations Face-Off ice hockey title.

These are not deportees- these are prisoners, held without due process or even consideration for basic decency. Gitmo is undoubtedly being used in the same manner. I encourage anyone who doesn’t know the origins of Dachau to read & learn more. This is the beginning.

Now- before you think “well, they’re illegal.” Some of these prisoners are Afghani, some are religious asylum seekers, & few, if any, were screened by the U.S. for protection or even legitimacy of their deportation. 2/2

It has begun. MSNBC is reporting asylum seekers & migrants have been flown into, & bussed to a camp on the outskirts of a jungle in Panama. Including children. 1/2

The post below from @cherijacobus.bsky.social is 🎯Dems MUST be better organized, MORE vocal, MORE accessible. Pete would be best. Hakeem would be fine. Schumer would do ok. Heck, do a rotating schedule, BUT START LEADING. They’re all over the place & the message is getting lost in the GOP noise.

Trump’s disdain for disabled people is well-known, from mocking reporter Serge Kovaleski and insulting wounded veterans to reportedly telling a relative with a disabled son that “maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

HPV has been directly linked to cancers in both sexes. CDC recs men & women ages 9-45 get the vax if they have not done so already. This might be a good time to do so, & yes, my son got Gardasil 9 years ago when he was 11, zero side effects. (Two shot protocol). Protect yourself & your kids. 2/2

Hard to say what’s real & what’s rumor with our government these days, but word is RFK Jr is looking at targeting Gardasil 9, the (very safe & effective) vaccine to prevent HPV transmission. 1/2

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

🔥 SOSAZ in The New Yorker: “Most of the families who enrolled in the [voucher] program were not moving their children out of public schools – the vouchers instead serve as a discount on the private tuition they were already paying, and… represent an entirely new cost to the state.”

SCR1028 requires a school district bond issuance vote to pass by 60%. Bold move in a year where potus didn’t even win by anything close to that. 2/3

If you’re an Arizonan, please contact your State Senator to vote NO on SCR1028, introduced by MAGA/Mom for Liberty/Big Lie promoter/Clarence Thomas sycophant Shawnna Bolick. 1/3
