If your job includes pulling a disabled woman from her car by her hair, you might want to consider finding a new job.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolisβ€”causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.

House Democrats just DEFEATED a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education."

6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.

Charlotte church adds ICE agents to nativity scene that aims to β€˜disturb’ passersby β€œIf the Holy Family had been in Charlotte two weeks ago, they would have been putting the baby Jesus in handcuffs,” the pastor said.

Brave pastor made this call... πŸ’™

The scene shows the biblical Holy Family as targets of modern immigration enforcement.

β€œThe goal is to disturb, to make people feel something” said Rev. Andrew Shipley. β€œWhat’s been happening to Charlotte families… is disturbing and is graphic and horrifying.”

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like β€” but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

In 2025, VoteVets & our candidates kicked ass. We flipped the VA Gov seat red2blue with @abigailspanberger.com, elected @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as NJ's first woman veteran Gov, flipped a solid red VA seat, & passed CA #Prop 50. And we'll do it again in '26 and '28! Vets earn swing voter trust!

'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians? Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.

I'll just leave this here. 😯

I'd like to make it required reading for congress.

I know there are reasons to be pissed at Amazon, but this week they've found a conscience... If you're on SNAP or Medicaid, they've made prime super cheap. 3.50/month for 3 months, $6.99/mo after. Get the prime pricing & 2 day shipping for HOLIDAY SHOPPING.

Just sharing in case anyone needs it.

Evil can cover its face, but ICE payments will expose them when the trials come. Unfortunately, that truth does nothing to protect anyone from the monsters in ICE right now.

Judge orders Trump administration to release billions in SNAP contingency funds The government did rely on contingency funding to keep food aid going when it shut down during President Donald Trump’s first term.

Great news; let’s see if Felon47 fights it. The money has been there for several years. America’s taxpayers paid this LONG ago. The only point to withholding it is CRUELTY and trying to bully democrats.

I can’t wait for our Nuremberg trials. #Voices4Victory

πŸ’”Gabrielle Union on missing black girls that no one talks about. The overwhelming majority of these girls never even have an Amber alert. Trump claims he wants to clean up crime though. Bullshit.

I can't imagine being in the mind of the person who had to code this in as a new alert. Not the people giving orders or passing along orders, but the final human step before the screen. I'd be the head-shaking person taking a deep breath and thinking a meteor strike was once more likely than this.

Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate?

NYC confirmed 0 across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx & Staten Island.

They even said it officially before any story could be spun. NYPD public affairs team's version of saying βŒπŸ‘‘ was getting to say "peacefully exercising their first amendment rights."
