A story to uplift your spirits
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Great reporting on ICE by ProPublica
Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra said DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:
“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

This is truly disturbing
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

I KNEW Trump based his decision to send troops to Portland on mislabeled 2020 footage he saw on Fox
ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.
The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

The ‘Department of Defense Law of War Manual’ gives, as its example of an order that is a clearly illegal war of law violation with which members of the armed forces MUST refuse to comply: “ORDERS TO FIRE UPON THE SHIPWRECKED WOULD BE CLEARLY ILLEGAL.”

This is absolutely insane. Stand firm, Congressional Democrats. Don’t let the ACA credits expire or millions of Americans will have to go without healthcare.
Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.
