Did you hear the news from the Dutch election?

Finally, it seems that RW populist Wilders is done. Out of government-building coalition territory. Phew 🥳

It will be a centre left coalition, most likely.

Thank you NL☺️

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

"One Social Security worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said many of those she has called back don’t even answer the phone because it has been hours or even weeks since their initial call..."

Callers to Social Security wait for hours to get help. Hear their ordeals.
Millions of seniors and disabled people call Social Security’s 1-800 number every month. What they experience is often maddening.

Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

Private equity gave $10M to Trump's inauguration. He gave them greater access to Americans' 401(k)s.

DuPont and Dow Chemical gave $750K. Trump exempted them from an air pollution rule.

Intuit gave $1M. Trump killed the IRS Direct File Program.

Everything is for sale.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records.

We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility.

They’re disappearing people.

No due process. No accountability.
Could ICE have 'lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago?
At least 3,000 jailed immigrants have vanished from federal records, according to human rights attorneys and organizations.
