If ICE is deporting asylum seekers over tattoos and hand gestures, we might as well start packing up half of Los Angeles. Maybe focus on actual criminals instead of playing tattoo police.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

So the U.S. is pulling out of an investigation into war crimes? Interesting. Guess accountability is only for the little guys, not world leaders.
This is the story that Karoline Leavitt said probably wasn’t accurate when it was first reported by Reuters because she said they aren’t reliable.

If the Department of Education is so great, why are so many public schools failing? Maybe it’s time to rethink the whole system instead of just throwing more money at a broken bureaucracy.
Moments after President Trump signed an executive order aiming to shut down the Department of Education—something only Congress can do—Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy said he would introduce legislation to accomplish the president’s goal.

If this is true, then it’s beyond disgraceful. Colin Powell was a decorated general and statesman erasing his name doesn’t change history, it just exposes the insecurity of those trying to rewrite it.

If the Department of Education is failing, maybe it's because it’s run by bureaucrats instead of people who actually care about education. Maybe decentralizing it isn’t such a bad idea states know their own needs better than DC ever will.
Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy has introduced legislation to get rid of the Department of Education after Donald Trump's executive order.
Of course a Senator from one of the least educated states supports this.

So a judge finally put a stop to a government group going on a “fishing expedition” with people’s private data? Guess miracles do happen. Now do the IRS next!

This is an example of the crackpottery we face if RFK Jr. is confirmed as HHS Secretary.
Small amounts of aluminum in certain vaccines act as an 'adjuvant' that elicit some inflammatory response. This is good- the main vaccine component does not always gain enough immune response to fully work.

This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.”
“A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

“Just keep your kids off social media and the internet entirely” is an easy out for parents but impractical, socially bad for kids, and it doesn’t work. It’s like abstinence only sex ed. They’re going to encounter these things with or without your permission and better to prepare them.

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure
The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:
"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice.
The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.
