Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses.

Immigrants, by contrast, did not.
ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.

One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers.

Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes.

Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children.

Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program.

We won't let them.

Book recommendations for learning about black history that's not white washed?

I learned today that Abe Lincoln wasn't completely on board with freeing the slaves, just saving the Union

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Elon Musk posted these two tweets the same day, just hours apart. Don’t sugarcoat it — he’s not just a far-right authoritarian, he’s an outright fascist.

Musk isn’t even trying to hide his true intentions at this point. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.
