At the DeSantis Everglades detention camp, people with green cards are being held in terrible conditions, with maggots in the food, the lights kept on 24 hours a day, and delayed access to medicine.
One guy had his Bible taken and was told "here there is no right to religion."

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

The road here was paved by the last few years of cultural persecution from the right and a cowardly abandonment by the Democratic establishment, who ignored so many warnings.
Imperative that we loudly defend our trans siblings, and begin to organize together towards building safety and equality.

I can't begin to tell you just how incredibly fucked trans people are here. This will pour gasoline on the Trump administration's attacks on trans people and they will get even harsher and more cruel. The Supreme Court is greenlighting the eradication of trans people from society.

Mr. Musk plans to layoff 83,000 workers at the VA. That means lower quality care for our vets. Unacceptable.
I agree with the VFW: The VA must “reconsider its planned reduction of 83,000 employees & thoroughly review any proposed cuts prior to rolling out further announcements.”

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is.
They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring.
So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.
