Are you kidding me?! Think twice before you take that cruise. I worked the COVID cruise evacuations—they scarred me for life. And now? They’ve gutted the CDC unit that inspects cruise ships for norovirus, E. coli & other outbreaks. This is how preventable disasters happen. Again.

This is where this is headed if we do not stop them now.
Trump says he’ll “have to see what the courts say,” but that’s not how his administration is operating now. They act first, rendering people people to foreign prisons, then claim they have no jurisdiction to get them back.

Sen. Cory Booker breaks the record for the longest Senate floor speech, passing former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 24 hr, 18 min filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
As Sen. Booker neared the record, he invoked the late Rep. John Lewis and called on the Senate to get into "good trouble."

Canada cut fluoride in many cities—and cavities in kids shot up. Calgary saw a 47% increase in tooth decay. Windsor? Nearly doubled. It’s cruelty wrapped in pseudoscience—and kids will pay the price.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
