Earlier this year, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed all of the staff that distributed $1.7B annually in Social Services Block Grant funds, which many states depended on for their child welfare, foster care and adoption systems.

The Trump Administration’s War on Children
The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

For those on FB: I made a West Coast version of that viral “What to do if you see an ICE raid” post that’s been going around. This one has CA/OR/WA hotline numbers and Spanish translation (thanks, Google!).

Whoo-ee. The South Park boys have really outdone themselves with this one. I think the character they revealed in the end (🍊💩’s sentient member) is Mr. Hankey’s long lost brother. I hope Parker & Stone figure out a way for the two of them to have a conversation.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

It’s JAMA giving 🍊💩one big, fat middle finger.

My Reagan-loving father in law asked what I thought of “the transgender athlete” stuff so I told him there are something like less than 20 transgender high school athletes in the country and the Nazis started with destroying the Berlin Institute of Sexology and now he’s in a rabbit hole.

Looks like the embattled National Weather Service did it's job here. It was Texas officials who failed to act on the weather service warnings for FOUR HOURS. Read this from Austin local news KXAN-TV: www.kxan.com/investigatio...

ICE just became the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the entire country.

There’s no telling what Trump is planning to unleash now.

One thing that is weird about the Mandami story is the focus on the checked boxes, not the rest of the application (which presumably contains essays or other written statements). Admissions people actually read those! (especially at a school like Columbia, in an era of paper applications) 1/

Oh the prescient and righteous critiques of the only Black woman on the court “test her colleagues’ patience”? Hmmm gosh, wonder what’s going on there…
The claim that her opinions have tested “her colleagues’ patience” strikes me as a form of what I have called “elite victimization.” The Court’s majority has made a series of radically extremist decisions—taking away a Constitutional right, offering Trump seemingly unlimited immunity etc.

Pretty clear that this will be the vehicle SCOTUS will use to deny equal protection to transgender people. While the case will be about sports, that decision would essentially strip all rights on transgender status or sex for trans people.

It would make virtually any law permissible.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court announced it will hear two cases challenging state laws banning transgender students from participating in school sports.

Lower courts were right to block these discriminatory laws, and we will continue to defend the freedom of all kids to play.
