The Trump admin ain’t paying for shit. Our tax dollars are, though.
Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13.
“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

The crazy thing about humans is this:
We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth.
The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first.
That’s it.
The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice.
Greed is holding us back.

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

A WH official confirmed today that President Trump plans to overhaul the Endangered Species Act to make it easier to build in the U.S. where endangered species live.
A proposed rule would eliminate habitat protections by changing the definition of "harm" to listed species.

@sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social did something that no California Dems likely could: turn out 26,000 people for a weeknight rally in a Republican House district and chart a way forward for an enfeebled Democratic Party, writes political writer Joe Garofoli.

Being critical of Gender is a bit like being critical of Language - it makes no sense at all - Gender fluidity is already a thing, what we are doing is waking up to that fact - My advice to those who feel scared or threatened by the existence of Trans folk is to find a therapist to talk to

Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.
