Miller does not have immunity, and he’s the one making Trump’s decisions.

They just shut down Americorps, which is staffed by volunteers, saving countless zeroes of money. We’ll never have nice things again.

Roughly 2 in 10 adult Americans use X with any regularity. Of those:
👉 58% are under 35 years old
👉 men out number women by more than two to one
This is clearly a DISservice.

Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army - Beautiful Trouble A new methodology of civil disobedience, merging the ancient art of clowning with contemporary tactics of nonviolent direct action, which became an international protest phenomenon in the early 2000s.

They’ve snatched up grade school students in NY with no warrant (obviously) and put them in ICE detention. This is lunacy. Here is a letter from their school principal:

It Looks Like Univision. It Sounds Like the News. It’s a Lie. 🤥 Disinformation in Spanish is going viral, and it’s not an accident

🚨 Fake Spanish-language news accounts are going viral on TikTok.

Some use AI to mimic Univision or Telemundo reporters. Others quietly spread lies about immigration and elections.

This disinformation is targeting Latino communities.
Here’s what’s going on:

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

I need someone to convince me that they’re not just going to seize the bank accounts of every non-MAGA person now that Musk has everyone’s social security number and party affiliation.

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K?

It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:

Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984

Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.

Barron was born in March 2006

Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.

Trump’s entire family would be deported.

They Know Exactly What They're Doing Those who follow recipes want to make the dish. Those who stay neutral about this fact want it made for them.

A hypothetical: Imagine I gathered: 1 1/2 cups flour; 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup whole milk.

"He's making a cake," you may think.

Medicaid & Medicare have a 2-3% overhead. For-profit health insurance has a 20% overhead & near unlimited on drug costs.

Both provide the exact same doctors & meds. The only difference is for profit had massive markup to pay for CEO bonuses & private jets.

We need universal healthcare. Period.
