This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

If you have time to go to the Heinz History Museum in Pittsburgh, the Mister Rogers Neighborhood exhibit is amazing. Seeing Daniel Tiger brought tears to my eyes the first time I visited.

I am hoping someone can convince Fetterman to resign asap. I had great hopes for him and really appreciated him when he was Lt. Gov.

Thanks for stating that he is a eugenicist. Those of us in the disability community are well aware of it but most people I talk to think I am being too dramatic (just like people don't like it when I call our immigration detention centers concentration camps).

This is AI and there's no reason to spread disinformation because there's ample accurate information about how unfit he is to be POTUS. In my opinion, this is the opposite of great. AI can be used for obvious parody but this isn't that.

Well he did tweet out that he was mob boss handled into supporting RFK Jr's nomination. At least that's how I am reading between the lines. (Also, not claiming his wise or smart)

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Yes, thank goodness. There seems to be more worry about a particular group of bodies near a river that are much more recently deceased. www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/c...

I don't mean to scare you but fragments have been found in the permafrost and could very well become something to worry about with global warming. Also the US has some and could accidentally or intentionally release it, as could Russia.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Erza is writing right-wing propaganda -let's call it what it is. We can't survive a political reality where spewing hateful rhetoric, amplifying lies, creating attack lists & promoting violence/oppression are considered "practicing politics the right way." Stop trying to gaslight us @nytimes.com

A budget is a moral document. We are witnessing America's decay. We've always struggled and will always struggle to do the best by our communities, but this is an abomination. As constituents we need to raise our voices. Democracy requires our engagement at the ballot box and well beyond.
