Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Greg Abbott hasn’t visited a Texas public school in years.

Public schools are closing across our state, but the governor is nowhere to be seen.

This is Abbott's school closure crisis.

Nice try libs. Now show me in the Bible where Jesus said that it’s a sin to celebrate putting innocent children at risk to potentially lethal preventable diseases due to a fundamentally flawed worldview and a lack of understanding of modern medicine. I’ll wait.

When you see WOKE Texans say “DON’T CALIFORNIA MY TEXAS” it means they are afraid of our taxes being lowered.

Why Texans actually pay more in taxes than Californians do
The Lone Star State is touted as "low-tax" because it has no income tax. But recently resurfaced data shows that may only apply if you're a wealthy resident.

Let’s not forget about the unconstitutional attack on public schools in Texas! Crooked Greg Abbott has removed duly elected school board officials and has replaced him with his pawns! These MAGA’s have NO SHAME!

Overflow gathering of students, parents, and educators for the Save Texas Schools Rally spread us into two packed buildings—all to affirm that we will never never give up on our public schools and are determined to overcome the relentless attacks by Greg Abbott and Donald Trump. (1/2)

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

Let’s talk #SB2: Greg Abbott’s “school choice” scheme isn’t about helping students—it’s about defunding public education to benefit the wealthy few.

Abbott refused to fund public schools last session unless he got vouchers. It’s a $1 BILLION ripoff that hurts Texas schools. #txlege

Rescued on November 16, 2024, tests revealed she was battling severe cases of babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis, which left her weak and caused glaucomatic eyes. Anya is showing great progress in her recovery from the infection.
