This is a video of ICE walking shackled and handcuffed CHILDREN out of the loading dock at DTLA at approximately 8:45pm on July 10th
This has gutted me. How can this be allowed to happen in our country?

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

This thread recounts the history that Trump, Kegseth, and the “Heritage” Foundation are trying to erase. May their behavior have an educational Streisand effect:
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Half a year into his papacy, Pope Leo has done what no world leader — religious or political — has dared: he’s taking on Trump’s empire of lies, head-on.
I was there the night Leo was elected. I’ve spent the last six months watching him find his voice — and it’s shaking the foundations of power.

Six Months of Pope Leo: "This is An Hour For Love"
The moment six months ago, when white smoke billowed over where I stood in St. Peter’s Square and Pope Leo XIV was elected the 267th leader of the Catholic Church, is one I’ll never forget.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

If you've never received SNAP benefits, you probably don't realize how low they are. We're a stingy nation that hates the poor. 👇🏽
You can barely call it assistance to begin with. Now 65 and retired, the couple relies mostly on Social Security and a small monthly food benefit from SNAP. They receive about $115 per month or $28.75 per week for groceries.
