BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

I kind of would like to stop the genocide, the war crimes, the kidnapping of my neighbors off the street, the shooting of americans by govt agents, and the fascism though. I'm happy to pay a bit more for eggs if you address the above.
Affordability isn't a con job. It's the American people's top priority.
Trump: "I think affordability is the greatest con job."

I honestly don’t know what’s more concerning. That the president of the United States keeps falling asleep in public or that everyone around him is too scared to wake him up.

JD Vance grew up on nutrition assistance provided by the federal government.
Now, he’s ripping SNAP away from millions of hungry kids growing up in poverty.
Pulling the ladder up when you reach the top is not the American way. He should be ashamed.

Ya know who grew up receiving nutritional assistance provided by the federal government – JD Vance. Now, he’s ripping SNAP away from tens of millions of hungry kids. Growing up in poverty isn't a crime, JD – just ask your Jesus.

Trump is withholding funding that’s *already there* for SNAP. They’re using hunger as a political weapon by choice.
While federal Republicans willingly let kids go hungry, we passed $70M in the State Senate to do what we can.

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.
We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

Someone said ethics is required CE for attorneys. But I should have been clear about which ethics. Because I am curious about race & ethics and gender identity & ethics. Because I don’t understand how we keep successfully leveraging these laws vindictively against the people they’re meant to protect
