This is so wrong. We could be so much better.
Found out an old friend and co-worker of mine, an addict, had an aneurism that paralyzed him from the neck down and will kill him in the coming days.

They released him from the hospital bc he had no insurance and he’s dying on someone’s couch.

God bless the USA

The rest of the story: Trump released 5,000 Taliban from prison to disrupt President Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan. 13 US soldiers were killed during withdrawal. In addition to causing their deaths, Trump dishonored them by doing a thumbs up political photo-op at their Arlington graves.

In 2022 alone they paid about $59 billion in federal taxes plus billions into Social Security and Medicare they can never claim.

THIS IS BULLSHIT‼️

Undocumented immigrants already get almost no federal “tax benefits.” Fox makes it sound like there’s a giant welfare pipeline. Not true.

They’re barred from Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment, and most federal programs, yet they still pay billions into the system.

🎁 link to the WSJ editorial that made Stephen Miller so mad.

"It would be a shame if this single act of betrayal became the excuse for deporting all Afghan refugees...

"Thousands are building new lives here in peace. Collective punishment won’t make America safer."

The alleged shooting by an Afghan ‘partner’ shouldn’t condemn all who assisted the U.S. and now live here.

Kristi Noem and Hegseth both thrown under the bus this week.

She was blamed for disobeying judges orders and not turning the plane with 230+ immigrants around back to the US.

Hegseth blamed for ordering the murder of Venezuelan fisherman.

It is likely just as important that AFTER this first murderboat (where Whiskey Pete personally ordered two survivors be murdered), there were two strike where survivors were left alive.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

Islamophobia is skyrocketing. I'm *finally* seeing some US news outlets mention it. Yet, even now, zero Muslim American voices on their panels.

I'm an American Muslim, a well published human rights lawyer of 15+ years w/2.1M followers & my substack gets 2M+ reads per month.

Using terms like "retarded" certainly Makes America Great Again...
Uncle Fumbles constant use of offensive terms goes back to his hatred of President Obama who in 2010 signed into law removal of "mental retardation" from federal health/education laws, changed to "intellectual disability"...

Another restaurant owner stood up to ICE. She refused to let fear win. Her courage reminds us that ordinary people still hold the power to stop injustice in its tracks. When we speak up, we protect what’s right.
