I do not celebrate any murder.

I do not celebrate the violent death of any human being, nor the loss of any chance for repentance & repair. None.

And those on the right must note that this is the "deal" for which Kirk himself actively advocated.

Pass better gun policy if you don't like murder!

I am old enough to remember when the need of people “behind the Iron Curtain” to carry ID papers at all times was a huge point in the ideological argument for the superiority of “the free world.”
In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

Remember when Trump trotted out an innocent Black child who was a cancer patient, like he was a prop, and then MAGAs pretended to be offended when we didn't celebrate that publicity stunt?

Yeah...Trump's fascist policies have defunded pediatric brain cancer research.

MAGA wants Structural Eugenics

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns
“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

Without mail in voting, people like me wouldn’t get a voice.

Which is more than likely the point.

Mail in voting is an accessibility issue and preventing it is absolutely infringing on disabled rights.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Ugh.

My doctor has requested more blood tests. My veins are really hoping this will be it, but finding final answers for my ongoing issues is taking forever.

If you could throw a few bucks my way, I'd be grateful. I'm at 95% of my goal. Thank you & please boost!

i know nothing i do will directly stop this evil.
but i refuse to look away.

the very least we can do is give these people, these children, the basic dignity of refusing to ignore their suffering.

i pray they find a peace in death that was never theirs in life. 💔
