40,000 one-ton bombs. $2.8 BILLION. Biden paused these weapons over concerns about mass civilian casualties in Gaza. Trump is moving forward with the sale. A decision with potentially deadly consequences, and it deserves full attention.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Dolly Parton was an icon. She was a brilliant songwriter and performer. She was an incredible activist and advocate, helping to donate over 200 million free books to children. She was one of my personal heroes. This is a terrible loss. She will be greatly missed.

“300 detainees say they’re being tortured.” People with HIV. Severe heart conditions. A blind detainee. Now they’re on a hunger strike because nobody listened. Organizers say strike leaders are being transferred to silence them. This is happening at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. #SheShed
