Reminder: Six years ago today, a gunman motivated by hatred of immigrants carried out a horrific massacre in Texas. The demagoguery and ideology he cited had been pushed heavily by Donald Trump. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Striking. After Texas banned abortion, ER visits for early miscarriage rose 25% and blood transfusions surged 54%.
Doctors delayed care like D&Cs out of fear of prosecution. More women nearly bled to death. buff.ly/egXhmm7

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.
Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.
Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.
