This woman has a powerful energy about her. So real.
I’m not surprised she’s a doctor.
Who wouldn’t follow this intelligent & kind human being?

There was a mass shooting in South Carolina last night and all we get from the GOP is thoughts and prayers.

Here’s my plan.

Israel assassinated Hossam Shabat over 6 months ago. But his name barely made the headlines.

He would’ve turned 24 years old today. 24.

If Donald Trump is allowed to hate his enemies, then so am I. There is something categorically evil about using children as political props while directly harming them. They put my own child's life in danger as well, and I will never forgive them for that. Ever.

Now, mainstream news runs stories wondering why so many children are struggling in school, why so many of them have Long Covid, why so many of them seem sick all the time. The Free Press played an active role in this disaster.

Bari Weiss nurtured the anti-vaxx rhetoric that directly contributed to 6 million children developing Long Covid. Her rise to head of CBS News is deeply disturbing. The Free Press promotes the most toxic neoliberal, climate denying, MAGA adjacent trash you can find.

A federal judge has extended a consent decree (the Castañon Nava consent decree) that limits ICE’s ability to arrest people without warrants or probable cause.

The decree remains in force until February 2, 2026.👇

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”
