There are many things we will look back on with incredulity but what has happened over the past ten days, is absolutely criminal.

Republicans aren’t anti abortion. They’re just more comfortable with kids dying when they’re older, like third graders in classrooms.

Also, feminism has shown the way! Subsidized childcare! Robust, paid parental leave. Tax credits! Reproductive freedom. Universal healthcare. Until they make the world better, there is little incentive to have kids (though they are adorable lil munchkins)

25 dollar minimum wage nationwide & mandatory employee-provided child care & 12 weeks vacation a year also federally mandated would do the trick, fellas. Fellas? Where’d everybody go?

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Targeting and abducting a legal U.S. resident for political speech is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife.

Trump and Musk want to see what they can get away with.

That’s why we can’t be quiet in the face of their power grab.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME. 

Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

It wasn't a "tense exchange" or a "shouting match", It was the American president and VP attacking an ally on live television, lying, acting like tyrants.

In a long list of despicable, grotesque displays from this WH what just happened in the Oval Office is close to the top. What a shameful day.

I wrote about giving up on normal. There’s no returning to business as usual, and that message certainly isn’t enough to beat fascism. We need a bold vision of providing for our needs, a vision of a future where people are put over profit. There’s no going back.
