Seems like if you have as much money as Chan and Zuckerberg do, more money than thousands of people could spend in all their lifetimes, you should probably be able to find a way to make the world a better place rather than screwing over children who are already struggling

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.
The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school.
Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg’s retreat from funding social issues forced the closure of a school Chan opened for disadvantaged families in Silicon Valley.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.
They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

Has anyone asked Stephen Miller whether he thinks Marco Rubio belongs in this country? I would be very curious how he answers
Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.
Details in my new piece:

Why Did a 75-Year-Old Man in Poor Health Just Die in ICE Custody?
Isidro Perez came to the United States from Cuba nearly 60 years ago. This is who Stephen Miller is going after now?

BREAKING: Thom Tillis just announced he won’t seek re-election.
That means that there will be an open North Carolina Senate seat in 2026.
Let’s flip it.

They’re giddy about putting undocumented immigrants into a prison surrounded by alligators.
They are such hateful, despicable people that they are fantasizing about human beings being eaten by alligators.

I hate it that some are having to relive the unthinkable. The Trump administration is disgusting, evil, and cruel.
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
