12 kids die by firearm injuries everyday in America. *crickets* 1 guy with a microphone is shot. *non stop news updates* Political violence is white supremacy radicalization online, that leads to school shootings. Political violence: government turning a blind eye to gun access when kids die.

Early estimates indicate that it will cost around $450 million a year to operate the detention camp. ChatGPT estimates it would cost about $440 million a year to permanently house all homeless veterans. I think that speaks volumes about the priorities of the Trump administration.

It's insane that a judge once again had to make this clear, but I'm glad they did: college students and faculty exercising their First Amendment rights are NOT A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT. The Trump Administration needs to read the Constitution and stop these illegal abductions.

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

Trump's $1,000 offer to self-deport has fine print they aren't telling you about... If they just leave the country, an immigration judge will enter a removal order & a deportation order based on their failure to attend their immigration court hearing preventing them from ever returning to the U.S.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
