WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN”
Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔
(But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃)
PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

After signing up for self-deportation, Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved to an unfinished basement. But DHS never sent them the promised plane tickets.
Now they worry about surviving winter. Weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to pay rent.

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID?
It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline.
109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
