Retired military. Grandmother fearful for my grandchildren’s future. I now understand how Nazi Germany came to be. Just hoping for fair elections in 2026. End gerrymandering & dark $ in elections now.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

TIL they’re calling DHS’s operation in Maine “Catch of the Day.” This dehumanizing language tells you all you need to know. It’s a big joke to them.

I hope in the future when we wrest back the govt from the current regime, we put up some guardrails to stop politicians from just defunding vital govt programs with no rhyme or reason

I'm confused. Trump tells Iran protesters to keep going, take over institutions, blah blah blah then turns around and calls protesters here terrorists and is trying to investigate the spouse of a citizen killed by his personal militia. Talk about hypocrisy

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

Millions rely on SNAP to survive. Cutting benefits isn’t 'fiscal responsibility'; it is cruelty. Kids, disabled people, elders, and workers deserve to eat with dignity. Food is not a bargaining chip. Stand up for SNAP. #FoodJustice #SNAPBenefits

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

"The even more human part of this is, think about the families that are on SNAP. They rely on this for literally putting food on the table. About three quarters of those families now are saying they're genuinely stressed. Nearly half are saying that they're going to be skipping meals."

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The sad part is that even if they eliminated all physical fitness standards, they are hiring racist, hateful, unprofessional people who will be armed with lots of weapons. Even an obese person can use a taser or a gun. I’ll bet Trump loves violence against immigrants.
