You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.
We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Do yourself a favor and take a minute to watch this animated short about 9yo Ronald McNair visiting his home town’s segregated library. It was produced by Story Corps and narrated by McNair's older brother Carl.
Near the end, Carl talks about the impact that "Star Trek" had on his brother. 🧪 🔭

The rich are the biggest winners in Donald Trump’s bill. It will be the biggest giveaway to the wealthy in our country’s history if it passes. The richest Americans should be paying more, not less, in taxes.

MEDICAID FACTS:
Your doctor takes Medicaid patients, so your doctor might close.
Your hospital sees Medicaid patients, so it might close.
Nursing home patients will have to go back to their families.
It’s not just the millions of people on the Medicaid that are in danger.
IT’S ALL OF US!

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Today— May 10 —marks the anniversary of the destruction of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, a pioneering clinic and library of human sexuality. Nazis looted and publicly burned its research, records and artifacts to bury evidence of trans/queer existence.
The parallels today are unmistakable.
