Read this: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...
Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown. Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Fun fact….. The 250 million dollars that was “donated” to pay for this fabulous ballroom at the White House came from people who hold 280 billion in government contracts. Isn't that funny…….. Turns out, you and I are paying for that ballroom after all. 🤷🏾‍♂️

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

So RFK has gotten rid of the NIH Cancer prevential panel experts. Why would he do that? To change the screenings that insurance is required to cover. Goodbye mammograms and PAP smears. You’ll have to pay out of pocket for those.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: “The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

Overshadowed by other news today, but this reporting on USAID’s dismantling is important. “When employees raised concerns about demands that they viewed as dangerous or unlawful, the administration branded their actions as ‘insubordination’— then used that charge to justify dismantling the agency.”

When WW3 pops off, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect all of the Trump supporters to be the first to get into the fight to show us how strong they are. DEI is over, so no minorities, women or LGBTQIA in the military. Time to step up, boys! This is what you voted for, after all.
