Went and saw my doctor, got a tetanus shot, had my bloodwork done & got any referrals I’ve been putting off. Filled all of my meds. I’m on Medicaid. I’ve had 3 cancers plus chemo for 2 serious cancers, under 40. I have chronic illness. My mom voted for Trump knowing this. My Dad never voted GOP. 1/2

So the kidnapped people sent to El Salvador . . . those are life sentences. Or what? There were no trials.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

These Bronze Age monuments are in an area known to have had its native oak rainforest cleared for charcoal by the Whites of Bantry in the early 1700s.
Imagine what a time-lapse of these stones' 1,000s of years presence would reveal: an ancient ecosystem obliterated, leaving only the odd hedgerow.

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

I believed it to be true, but I didn’t have confirmation. He can be deported as a subversive or a danger to the US also. I’ve no doubt he lied.
I thought I should let you all know what is going on over at Twitter ASAP
Spread the word: Elon Musk is indeed deportation-eligible

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.
