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.

People have no idea of the dangers of the firings at the CDC.

The people who work there care about your health.

We are at risk, because the republicans refused to TALK.

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

This part.
The Trump regime claims they want to stop drugs, especially fentanyl, from crossing into the USA yada yada bullshit.
Trump himself cleared the way for an actual drug cartel family to enter our country.

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP’s ongoing assault on Americans’ health.
We have shutdown stakes coming more clear:
Whose insurance will soon disappear?
Repubs want to shift wealth,
At expense of our health,
To the donors their ilk hold most dear.

Is Senator Bill Cassidy, a physician, going to idly sit back and watch the dismantling of the CDC by the trump administration. More layoffs at CDC of the EIS officers who investigate outbreaks, and team that puts together the weekly publication MMWR. Trump and RFKJr must be stopped. #DV1 #ProudBlue

This has nothing to do with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and everything to do with the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime being embarrassed that they made a mistake trying to deport him in the first place.
