Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

NOT A VIOLENT CRIMINAL

Heidy SΓ‘nchez was deported from Florida to Cubaβ€”without her 17-month-old American daughter.

She followed a routine ICE check-in. Trump’s agents detained her, gave her no option to take her baby, and ripped their family apart.

She’s heartbroken.

This hits hardβ€”and says everything about where we are right now.

A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivorβ€”and this is an β€œanti-Black moment”.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documentsβ€”or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail.

I choose the latter:

Facebook’s secrets, by the insider Zuckerberg tried to silence Careless People author and former Meta director Sarah Wynn-Williams reveals what it was like β€˜babysitting’ her boss

β€œShe describes [Zuckerberg] as a cross between a truculent teen and a toddler: he doesn’t like to get up before midday, even to meet prime ministers, and his obsequious colleagues feel obliged to let him beat them at board games.”

Sigh. The tech bros are all the same.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

this is such an obvious game of bullshit and it makes me insane that anyone falls for it. weird how schools are no longer "meritocratic" when they are trying to attract more black and hispanic students, but are perfectly meritocratic when they're not.

Media really need to start putting g β€œDEI” in quotes; it’s a coded epithet for this crowd. Purging history of these heroes is straight-up racism. Name it.

Props to a fellow Houstonian Al Green, we can’t just sit back and do nothing while Trump and Musk slash our healthcare, jack up prices, and bring us to a literal trade war.

KEEP FIGHTING!

here’s the thing: why wouldn’t you treat every dumbass idea as potentially worthwhile when a month later you can just go β€œoopsies” and no one holds you accountable for giving credence to stupid shit?
