I guess the convicted drug trafficker who got pardoned was ok, but the alleged one just kidnapped by ‘Murica without due process isn’t? That’s some real fuzzy logic.
Oh? Anything for cheap gas and the pillage of rare earth minerals.
Just say no to illegal acts of war.
disgusting.

2/2 2026, ACA gutted. It breaks my heart to think about how many humans will be affected by this inhumane act. How many more senseless death? The cost of my health insurance is doubling, and it’s really tough thinking about the rough path ahead for so many of us.

1/2 Alex Chilton, born on this day in 1950, died in 2010 at age 60. There’s a very good chance he’d still be here today, if the ACA/ Obamacare had been active in 2010. Alex was having chest pains, but refused to go to the hospital as he had no health insurance.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.
When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.
Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Meanwhile over the weekend, the US government sent a letter threatening France, Australia, the UK, and Canada if they recognized Palestinian statehood. Despite US warnings of “punitive measures,” they proceeded with recognition.

Got covid boost, and was disgusted to see the ‘new procedure’ providers have to make patients read. When the nurse was explaining it, I could tell how annoyed he was- reads as a way to talk the patient out of getting the vax- I told him how sorry I was that their job is now more difficult. #fuckmaga

Deploying the National Guard—over the objections of state leaders and local law enforcement—is a dangerous escalation.
This isn’t about enforcing law and order, it’s about seizing power and control. Americans won’t tolerate this slide into authoritarianism.

On Thursday the richest man in the world called his ex-bestie a pedophile.
On Friday that pedophile surged ICE raids in California.
On Saturday that pedophile deployed troops against Americans.
Pretty sus timing!
