The most dangerous person is the moron who thinks he knows everything with the ability to wreck the fortunes of a country and harm its people. We’ve had many bad presidents, but there was just nobody close to this bad.

This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

🥚 Adoptee rights friends, it's time to show up if you can. SB 381 would simply restore the right for adult adoptees (18 or older) to request a copy of their OBC (original birth certificate). Read more on their page re: making phone calls this weekend, if you can't be there in person on Tuesday.

Republicans knew what this bill would do to America's rural communities and they voted for it anyways. They all deserve to lose their seats.

Here are all the polls on the Republican budget, which will be signed into law by the president today. Trump may have won the popular vote, but Trumpism is not exactly a popular movement. There will be political costs for passing this. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/one-big-un...

This post uses dehumanizing language like “sick of mind,” “robbers,” and “destroy our Inner Cities” to portray the left as not just wrong but evil. It’s less about ICE and immigration than it is about casting political opponents as threats to the nation’s survival.🧵(cont.)..

@realDonald Trump
Our Nation's ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.
In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America's largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women's Sports — And that is why ! want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don't hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!
I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day.

REPORTER: Would a Russian oligarch be eligible for a gold card? TRUMP: Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.

Did you know, that if you learn CPR in Sweden, they tell you to use the song “Here comes Pippi Longstocking” for chest compressions? For real.

if other adoptees are looking for really good shows about adoption, Little Bird is my top suggestion it doesn't cover every experience of course, but it beautifully depicts the struggles many of us have had with identity, family, and profound injustice www.pbs.org/show/little-...

Omg the erik prince elon musk connection is terrifying. Hmmmm. Google the connections, blackwater to Venezuela. His extinction level event comments make so much more sense now. The systematic takedown of our democracy could be highlighted by the work of these two.

JAILING SCIENTISTS—RFK Jr. attacked the CDC’s ‘fascism’ and likened vaccinating children to abuse by the Catholic Church. He also argued for jailing vaccine scientists in previously unreported comments at autism conferences.

Be vigilant about keeping abusive right-wing trolls off your accounts by reading replies and blocking. We all have a responsibility to keep this platform from becoming the toxic sewer that the other one is. Don’t look to others, do your part.
