FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims
The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”. This is fascism.

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases. Anyone upset about this should consider the following: If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Angus: Canadians need to be really ready. We are upping our investment in military spending significantly. We are now procuring from the Europeans—whereas before, we would have just gone to the United States as usual to buy gear. We’re not buying gear from the United States.

Wondering why your 4th of July barbeque feels more expensive than last year? Well, it is: since Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs, cookout costs have risen at a 12.7% rate. Is this what “freedom” is supposed to look like?

I am seriously depressed by the passage of the monstrous bill today. I know people that are going to get hurt seriously as their healthcare goes away. I am going to end today with Luke’s take on the subject. I agree with every word he says. Goodnight everyone see you tomorrow. Tony

This has been one of the most controversial videos I have ever made. It has elicited hundreds of abusive and sometimes threatening messages. It is 7 seconds long. I don't ask people to do anything, and I am not rude. I simply, unapologetically, state that I exist. This is why we still need pride.

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.

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
