Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

You have the right to record ICE.
You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.
Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

Good news! Trump is an insensitive clod.
MAGA are not my father's GOP. Otherwise there would be more compassion & empathy, less rudeness, and fewer attacks on hard-working, patriot Americans.

Pete Hegseth is deploying 500 more National Guard troops to D.C., even though a judge has ruled the move illegal. Again Gaurds are being put in a situation where the order is illegal.

His warning reflects a broader fear that unchecked presidential power threatens the foundations of American democracy, especially after years of escalating attacks on institutions, political opponents & the rule of law.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
