Trump wants Chicago Mayor, Brandon Johnson & Illinois Governor, JB Pritzker arrested for refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement during ICE raids in the city.

Trump's a traitor, how about we stop giving a fuck about what he wants?

Trump’s tariffs and cutbacks are bankrupting farmers. He thinks they’ll keep supporting him no matter what, but his approval numbers say otherwise.
Tweet from Amy Klobuchar that reads: “27 million pounds of chicken 2 million gallons of milk 67 million eggs That’s how much food grown by American farmers never made it to hungry families because of the administration’s decision to cancel deliveries to food banks.” Below the text is an image showing trucks on a highway with a banner labeled “CANCELED” and a caption: “Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid.” The source line reads: “From projects.propublica.org.”

100%. Social Security was created to help seniors retire with dignity and security. If everyone pays their fair share in taxes, we can strengthen this lifeline for generations to come. @SocialSecurityWorks.org bsky.app/profile/soci...

It’s simple–when we make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share, we can expand Social Security and protect earned benefits for generations to come.

Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has called off nearly $500 million in grants and contracts aimed at advancing mRNA vaccine development. This technology, first deployed during the Covid19 pandemic, allows vaccines to be produced rapidly and adapted as viruses evolve. His brain worms are getting worse!

Christian nationalism opposes public assistance to the poor, unless the money passes through church coffers, favors people of color being submissive to white people, favors use of physical punishment of kids, & favors minimal workers rights.
Say "NO"!

We already went through and dealt with this conspiracy shit on HIV two decades ago. Why must we keep repeating the past?

This reminds me: RFK Jr. doesn't believe that HIV causes AIDS! He believes recreational drug use causes it and that scientists, including Dr. Anthony Fauci formerly of NIH, conspired to make up an infectious disease responsible for AIDS so they could "take control of it."

If you ever worked for a federal agency that DOGE has on the chopping block, especially the lesser known ones, please tell us about the work they do on behalf of the American people. We need to understand what is being lost.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
