So is this a "the deal is so bad they won't tell us the details" thing or a "the president hallucinated an agreement and now everybody has to play make-believe" kind of thing?

We need more prominent political figures to talk shit openly about the disgusting, criminal, child-raping president. Have some balls, Y'all. It makes him mad. Hopefully, it causes a heart attack.

After #Medicaid officials improperly shared data about millions of people in January with immigration officials, ICE then shared that data with the data analytics firm Palantir, according to new court filings.

ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir
The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts.

The older I get, the more I understand why water has been so revered in so many cultures. Not because people worshipped the water itself, but because they recognized that without water, nothing else exists. Water is the thread that holds every living system together.

They told us for decades these wars were about “freedom” and “security.” Now they barely hide it. Threatening to invade Iran’s Kharg Island to seize oil isn’t defense, it’s old-fashioned imperialism with modern weapons. Working people pay the price while corporations chase the profits.

Republicans like to keep the People uneducated. Texas is a prime example because its governance between Democrats and GOP can be compared. The intelligence of Texns has dropped in just one generation under Republican rule. BUT! Most Texans over 12 can still count to 10. =====================

Really love this IT interview, feel like men aren't allowed to be emotional, vulnerable, and cry which is reinforced by men themselves. Look at how people reacted to Wemby crying, suddenly everyone has an opinion. I hate stereotyping and defining genders, just be secure and happy with who you are.

Yesterday, a caravan of about 13 cars drove from L.A. to the California City detention center - 100 miles each way. Then we joined a rally in town, and heard about all the people who've died there, including a 16 month old baby. Each center makes about 800K A DAY. It's CECOT on our shores.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.
