i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but using the Bible to justify bombing Iran is no different than extremists using the Koran to justify terror. Weaponizing religion to excuse violence is dangerous—no matter who’s doing it. Stop the hypocrisy.

If millions of people lose Medicaid, those people still will get sick and need healthcare. Hospitals are required under law to provide emergency care to everyone, regardless of whether they have insurance. Hospitals, particularly in rural communities, will be hit hard and some with be forced to close.

Let's elevate the fighters:

Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador
Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption
Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees
Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans
Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

It is important that you understand that judges are not telling Trump what to do. The judges are telling Trump to obey the laws passed by Congress.

Brings back understanding to what that flag really means and who actually built this country.

Happy Black History Month!
