Forcing 300,000 workers out of their jobs created chaos for struggling families and jeopardized the services we rely on. And there's no evidence whatsoever that all these workers are now cashing in. The DOGE/Project 2025 cuts have been devastating for America's workers.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Birthright citizenship, and equal protection guarantees for all U.S. residents, was paid for with four years of blood. Wong Kim Ark made birthright citizenship even more ironclad with his victory before the Supreme Court in 1898, at a time when Chinese workers as well as Blacks were being lynched.

Thanks to everyone who are supporting justice for the survivors of the evil institution known as St. Anne's residential school. Canada suppressed evidence of horrific violence and abuse. The court battle for accountability continues. There is no reconciliation without justice for St. Anne's.
