Lifelong New Yorker transplanted to Jersey… but the good part. The blue part where people still believe in science and democracy.

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

One of the many things the Democrats need to do is completely divorce the U.S. federal government from everything Musk owns. This guy's a monster with enormous power and he's destabilizing democracies all over the globe. It's time to fight back.

Ilhan Omar came to the US when she was 13. Trump's goons are now trying to find mistakes her dad made in their immigration paperwork in an apparent attempt to denaturalize her. Her dad died of COVID over six years ago. These people are monsters with no boundaries. They must end up in jail.

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

People have to take the rhetoric at the GOP convention seriously. The anti-trans, anti-immigrant hate isn't just words. It's is what the GOP is running on. Hatred of the "other". They really, actually want concentration camps. And for women not to have the vote. They say it and they mean it.

Loreto Javar, a green card holder who’s lived in the United States for over three decades and is being treated for Stage 4 prostate cancer, has been held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma for more than two months. 

A 76-year-old retired hotel worker who lives in Fife with his wife and daughter, Javar was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials June 23 during an interview for his U.S. citizenship application in Tukwila. He was receiving ongoing cancer treatment when he was taken into ICE custody, his family said, and has missed several medical appointments since his arrest.
