I absolutely agree that this must be talked about !

On the one hand trump orders Miller to have poor, brown people tortured in infamous, filthy prisons.

And on the other hand, he lets rich, brown, cartel heads enter our country to line his pockets...

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire

A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

They may want to read the deal it's not what they think it is God knows I wish it was! If ppl remember President Biden had a deal some hostages were released but the convicted felon did not follow the agreement as he agreed to with President Biden & of course he stopped it 🤬

@representwomen.bsky.social is out with a new report: In Portland OR, for the first time, women hold half the seats on the city council, and four of those six women are women of color.

This must be why Trump has declared it a war zone.

Just imagine. Equal representation for women.

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.
