The Trump administration has released a proposal to overhaul the rules that govern federal layoffs a move that would make it easier to carry out sweeping arbitrary terminations across agencies.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

"Due to President Trump calling them names and mocking them in public, I'm asking members of the Supreme Court to start wearing masks, pepper-spraying litigants, carrying fake badges, and swapping out their license plates with decoy plates."

Even election officials who like voter ID have issues with the SAVE America Act "It's a classic 'show your papers’ law designed to make it harder for US citizens to vote," Sec. Jocelyn Benson said.

Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A president can be removed for misuse of the public treasury. That's fraud and thievery and has nothing to do with his job of serving the American People. He only has immunity for actions done in the service of the people.  Any state should be able to bring criminal charges against him for misuse of public funds, paid into the treasury by that state, and charge him with misconduct, and fraud of that state's taxpayers.

the fact is we simply can’t go offing even the worst of the worst. everyone deserves to live and i think imprisonment for the remainder of their life is often worse than death. losing all your power and most of your rights is deeply intolerable to most people, and to those capitalists? definitely.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

How do autistic people age β€” and what does it mean for their health? Most research on autism focuses on younger people, but some studies suggest older adults face increased risks β€” and perhaps benefits.

Research shows that "up to 75% of autistic people aged 20–49 and more than 90% of those over 50 are undiagnosed. This means that millions of [autistic] people around the world might not be receiving the support that they need."

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, β€œNo One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

β€œIt is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

It’s can’t be said enough β€” this is a wildly corrupt betrayal of the MAHA crowd, and flies in the face of everything RFK JR has ever promised them.

Driven entirely by greed and paying off their big pesticide corporation donors.
