Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

AZ friends! With the primary date change our Dem candidates need more help than ever to get enough signatures to get on the ballot. Voters can sign online using the Secretary of State’s secure E-Qual system. THIS is how we make this madness stop.

I am not excited about this. All of these tech companies and billionaires coming to Fl, and driving up costs for everyone else. Housing is now out of reach for most. Even worse, they are coming here without the jobs because of AI. What is the benefit to the everyday Floridian?

The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center.
Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary — $190.
The cruelty is endless.

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.
