Mexico’s president just sent rescue teams to Texas.

How long before ICE arrests them and sends them to El Salvador?

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

I hate that Trump has made racism cool again. People are tripping over each other to be more racist in public.

It’s weird living through a presidency where roaches are no longer afraid of the light, but I’m glad they’ve all outed themselves for when this is over.

I don’t like to talk about the Arctic Circle because it’s too polarizing.

The people cheering for what trump is doing are the same as the ones who cheered for the Trail of Tears, Japanese interment camps and beating suffragettes.

Some GREAT good news for a change:

The streets of Romania are erupting in celebration tonight.

Nicusor Dan, Romania’s pro-EU candidate beats hard-right rival to win the presidential election.

Many say he has done the impossible 53.92 vs 46.08%🥳

The world is rejecting Trumpism.

Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut.

Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty.

Call your reps.
