NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

"The failure to name the gendered nature of most violence (political and otherwise) is especially notable because a large part of Charlie Kirk’s success was due to the ways in which he pushed for a reinforcement of a certain kind of traditional—and very aggressive—(white) masculinity."

I'm reading "Kindred" by Octavia Butler. What an incredible writer! I have much to learn from her. It seems healthier to give my energy to that, instead of scrolling, right now.

The House of Representatives will soon vote on a budget bill that would kick 12 million people off Medicaid, defund Planned Parenthood and supercharge the Trump administration’s mass deportation machine.

The time to be loud is NOW. Tell your representative: Vote NO.

Vote No to Kill The Big Ugly Bill
Text SIGN PZZLLS to 50409 — The Senate just passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” by the slimmest of margins—with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. Now the House must decide whether to rubber stamp this catastrophic piece of legislation or reject it and protect the people you were elected to serve. I urge you in the strongest possible terms: Vote NO. This bill is a moral and economic disaster. It slashes $1.2 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP, ripping healthcare and food off the table for tens of millions of Americans. It will cause nearly 12 million people to lose their health insurance, devastate rural hospitals, shutter labor and delivery units, and force pregnant women to drive hours for basic care. In short—it’s a death sentence for too many. Meanwhile, the wealthiest Americans are handed $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. Billionaires will keep getting richer while 5.4 million families lose food assistance. The cruelty is the point—and the math doesn’t lie. This bill will explode the deficit by $3.3 trillion, while pretending to be “fiscally responsible.” It guts clean energy funding, undermines pollution monitoring, and hikes energy bills for working families. It funds a massive expansion of deportation and detention infrastructure, including a 3.5% tax on remittances sent abroad—essentially punishing immigrants for helping their families. Worst of all, it brazenly attacks the judicial branch, making it harder for courts to stop illegal or unconstitutional actions by the federal government. That’s not conservative—it’s authoritarian. This is not a budget. It’s a blueprint for cruelty, corruption, and collapse. Don’t let Trump and Mike Johnson drag this country backward. Don’t sacrifice your constituents for billionaire donors and MAGA vengeance. VOTE NO on the Senate reconciliation bill. Reject the cruelty. Protect your people.

Most people aren't tracking this, but the Big Ugly bill would effectively ban marketplace insurers from covering abortion care in ALL 50 states.

We can't let this stand. Please help spread the word.

Republicans are jamming this bill through—we have to speak up NOW.
