We can't fund public education but can bomb schools in Gaza & Iran

We can't fund affordable housing but can build concentration camps & private prisons

We can't fund school lunch but Hegseth can buy millions in steak, lobster, & king crab

We've always had funds—we lack politicians with integrity

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF
A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.

One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability.

Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even when officers kill.

Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever...

But that's not the only shocking number:

- There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump.

All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.

While JD takes his kids through Disneyland to silent stares and protests outside the park, I am thinking about the kids—citizens—who won a trip there and instead got locked up in Ferndale.

I am thinking of the cast members he’s exploiting for his fun while ICE pick them off on their way home.

Looks like despite all of Musk’s training to make Grok transphobic, Hunter Schafer is a bit too powerful for Grok.

And also, it’s hilarious that the first AI trained to be anti-trans ends up being a chaser.

Just want to show you some of the people who show up to fight for health care in Congress. My comrades @littlelobbyists.com have been putting some serious miles on their chairs and feet forcing lawmakers to look at the people they're voting to strip Medicaid from.

"I can't believe The New York Times did this" Trans kids? Claudine Gay? Gaza? At some point we have to stop being surprised. The right sees the Times as a vehicle for laundering its conspiracy theories and injecting it into elite America and the Times is very happy to oblige them.

Heat exhaustion is even more dangerous for pregnant farmworkers. Workers need stronger protections NOW for their health and safety-- and their babies!
Heat exhaustion is dangerous. Heat stroke can be deadly. Please remember, you cannot hydrate your way out of heat illness. Take frequent rest breaks with your whole body in shade. Heat kills! Especially if doing physically demanding work in high temperatures. #WeFeedYou #CALOR
