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.
Louisville KY showed up! So proud of our community for coming together peacefully & joyfully to support democracy, the Constitution and the melting pot of America we were taught to love! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #NoKings
Here's the FDA's public comment portal. There's still time to provide feedback on their plan to restrict those under 65 from receiving the COVID-19 booster. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...
I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.
Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."
5/If Trump can refuse to return a person he has illegally deported to a foreign prison where he is paying for him to be held in indefinite custody, then he can do it to American citizens, too. To stay on top of today’s legal issues, sign up for my newsletter joycevance.substack.com/p/the-suprem...
1/The Trump admin has made it clear: they will have to be forced to comply with the law. They won’t do it voluntarily. It’s that simple & that complicated. Worst of all, it’s completely unsurprising we’ve come to this juncture. This was in the cards all along joycevance.substack.com/p/the-suprem...
Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
I’m looking at the 3 young men around this Senator who he’s teaching to behave with disrespect, disregard and cruelty towards a constituent. I worry for our future.
Pete Hegseth put American lives at risk when he sent war plans in a group chat — then he lied to cover it up.
If he doesn't resign, he should be fired.
Make this go viral!
Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.
Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important.
He should be fired immediately.
NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.
"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.
Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.
How many Park Ranger salaries could this have paid for? lhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/
People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.
Any terminated/current federal employee who’s furious & wants to run for local office, @runforsomething.net would love to help you figure out next steps. We have lots of public resources for all & programming for ppl of all ages, even if our endorsements are targeted. runforwhat.net
“Those employees who remain are being warned to expect their actions to be surveilled, from their swipes into government facilities to the keystrokes they type on their computers.”
Definite Big Brother energy here.

You don’t say…
I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.
On the shelves of the liquor store there are big empty gaps where bottles used to be. In the middle of each gap is a sign which says BUY CANADIAN INSTEAD with a maple leaf underneath the words.
The Dumbest Trade War in History: UPDATE, DAY 2
Here’s the scene in one liquor store in British Columbia.
US spirits all removed from the shelves and replaced with these signs. 🇨🇦💪
