The wisest course of action to deal w migrants/asylum seekers is this: invest in their countries so they won't be compelled to flee. Now I'm not anti-immigration, welcome them still when they come. Make it easier to come and to stay. I'm probably canceled for this post.

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

Maybe the next generation will set its sights on solving systemic problems instead of “My burrito is at a restaurant, but I’m all cozy here so, can a guy with a medical degree from another country bring it to me.” We’ve got that covered, and then some.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

The reason I talk so much about Democrats in rural America is because it’s key to taking the country back.
We can’t wring many more blue votes out of the cities. Come back to rural spaces. Run for office. Contest every race.

I hate MAGA from the core of my being. I am a White cis/het man, but they will still come after me if they get the chance. Just like their Nazi idols MAGA targets the neurodivergent. Every ICE agent needs to go to prison for crimes like this:
A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Corporations are one of the worst fictions in our World. Whenever a corporation does something evil, real flesh and blood people made that decision. These people should be held accountable. When a corporation murders tens of thousands of people, the people who made that decision should go to prison.

In economics they teach us that paying workers more than the market rate is harmful because it means a company can’t afford to hire as many workers. It’s important to realize that overpaying executives and shareholders does that too while helping fewer people.
Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
