Yep. My family used to be fairly regular shoppers at Target and we haven’t spent a penny with them since January. We won’t be returning going forward either

But now she has 175 million dollars worth of private jets so problem solved.
Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”
The cuts:
📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)
📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)
📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)
📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

In his final address in 1989, Reagan delivered a powerful message on the importance of immigrants. He said "Unique among nations, we draw our people, our strength from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so, we continuously renew and enrich our nation"🗽

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇
A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023.
The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion.
That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
