The Unrest ….
The Heartache We’re so angry and divided. So many from both sides would rather rid the country of the other, thinking they are the enemy. Betrayer of the country … Lacking in Patriotism…

Come up with ideas with how we can address the issues.
For instance, guidelines for ICE to require to do the job.
Badge, warrant and NO racial profiling. No masks and hidden identity with the division they are from marked on the vehicle.
NO quotas or bonuses
No trolling.
We can do this 🤝

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.

Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Or just the brown people?

When experts warned for months that the NWS “is being destroyed” by Trump’s personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won’t be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Well-informed ppl know Trump ran for 2nd term to escape indictments/incarceration. Trump had powerful sources with nefarious agendas get him re-elected. If not Donald would’ve been spending his time avoiding his own imprisonment. Trump NEVER belonged in Fed Office; Trump belongs in Fed Prison.

Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.

This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Blue states should band together to draft a constitutional amendment for universal healthcare.

If red states can organize to ban rights, blue states can organize to save lives.

Healthcare is a human right. Put it in the Constitution.

We need to normalize that it’s not “politicizing” when people die due to political decisions. Especially when there are warnings of the consequences when the decisions are made.

Happy Friday Bsky! There's a lot to not like about the state we are in. But we still have a lot to be thankful for. Protect your mental health. Take breaks when you need to. Hug your loved ones. We'll get through this. Have an awesome day!

Look at these medically fragile children & their parents.

Republicans just cut their care. Yeah, the Medicaid that keeps them alive.

I will fight for each one of these children & I hope you’re as outraged as I am & join me.

We’re coming for every Republican seat.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

This isn’t policy.
This isn’t leadership.
Cutting Medicaid is fucking cruelty, plain and simple.
And if you think voters are too distracted or too tired to notice?
Wait until November.
We’ll remind you who you work for.

We're going to need another roll of yellow tape for the crime scene that now extends from the Senate to the House.
Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

Trump’s trillions transfer has passed.

Tax cuts for the rich, health care and program cuts for everyone else, adding Trillions in debt, while making Trump’s Gestapo one of the most expensive armies in the world.

A dark day. 🇺🇸

We the people will have the last word.

The fight has just begun...
Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

The 2 things we need to study now are Project 2025 and this abomination of a bill. We need to be prepared and we need to figure out how and where we can counteract the devastating impact of them. Piece by piece. Maybe even create a think tank group for “out-of-the-box” ideas. #NeverGiveUp

To those who rely on Medicaid or SNAP:

You are not imagining the fear.
You are not overreacting.

You are being told—clearly—that your survival is negotiable.

That is violence.

And you deserve better.

We see you.
We are not leaving you behind.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Republicans need to leave God out of this.
There’s nothing godly about cruelty, corruption, or control.
