So, Americans will be forced to pay for healthcare for non-Americans while so many of us go without healthcare of our own. @democraticparty.bsky.social message with this.

Detentions and disappearances: how ICE has driven fear into Michigan’s Arab communities Arab Americans in Dearborn and beyond are being swept up by ICE at places of worship and work, with devastating consequences

β€œTens of thousands of Arab Americans in Dearborn and beyond flocked to Trump in the 2024 presidential election due to his opponent, Kamala Harris’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.”

Sorry, no, it’s because she was a woman. Trump was more pro-Israel than Harris.

Mom whose 7-year-old has brain swelling from measles still wouldn’t vaccinate EXCLUSIVE: South Carolina parents living in the state’s measles epicenter tell Rhian Lubin of their devastation after their unvaccinated 7-year-old son, Ethan, developed encephalitis, a complication f...

Parents who refuse to vaccinate healthy, non-immunocompromised children, should be stripped of their legal rights over their children and put in prison if their child dies or the child’s life is destroyed by a preventable virus.

I went looking for this file myself on the DOJ files record. It is nowhere to be found now. Not only is Ron DeSantis accused of rape, so are Clarence Thomas and Steve Bannon.

Literally, we just want housing. Build housing. None of us can live on the moon and only like five people could afford to travel there.

FAFO alert: when the crux of your business depends on people who are the main target of this regime, maybe don’t give them your vote. You could have swallowed your male pride, voted for a woman, and continued successfully building houses.

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked

Everyone who voted for Trump bears responsibility for destroying this man’s life. Elections have consequences. If you aren’t willing to seriously consider those consequences during the campaign season, then you are not responsible enough to vote.

For 2026 races, might it be that all that’s required to tip house/senate control is the strategic placement of ICE in certain districts and blue cities to suppress the vote. If non-white US citizens are terrified of getting kidnapped in a voting line, that may be enough to throw the election.

Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.

Witnessing Another Public Killing in Minneapolis Videos of Alex Pretti’s fatal shooting, rapidly disseminated on social media, reveal a brazen display of brute power.

β€œTheir untroubled and automatic dishonesty, amid so much shared evidence, gives rise to a horrible question: If this is what they do when we can see, what’s going on in the placesβ€”planes and cars, detention centersβ€”where we can’t?”

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article) A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

They fired six more shots at Mr. Pretti after he was already lying motionless on the ground. execution squad.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
