The Michigan Supreme Court is considering a rule that would bar ICE from snatching undocumented people at courthouses.
Here’s what you can do to help this proposal become law:

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments.

They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.

DC absolutely needs statehood so that the people who live there aren't ruled by goons they never elected. A genuine ongoing scandal and absolute betrayal of the principles of the country.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

To process those applications again is going to cost so much time and money. They are spending money to starve people. And given the level of corruption, I have no doubt that applications with names indicating certain backgrounds will be conveniently "misplaced" for weeks if not months or years.

Savings from the reduction in administrative costs, elimination of multimillion compensation packages for CEO's of the healthcare insurance companies, the durable medical equipment companies, and the pharmaceutical companies. The elimination of political contributions. No one can afford health insurance that doesn't deliver health. LOSE INSURANCE! DEMAND UNIVERSAL, single-payer healthcare for ALL! #MedicareForAll. #HR3069 #S1655 Universal healthcare from the womb to the tomb Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, hearing and long term care with no copays or deductibles. No need for pre-approval, no networks, see any licensed provider of choice. No cost at the point of need. No risk of a medical bankruptcy. Any increase in taxes to fund M4A would be less than the premiums we are currently paying for about 95% of us. (Not to mention copays, deductibles). The CBO and over 20 independent studies have shown that lives and money would be saved. What prevents Congress from passing this bill? Money. No not the need to fund the system, but the money that our representatives would lose from 1 the loss of campaign contributions. Savings from the reduction in administrative costs, elimination of multimillion compensation packages for CEO's of the healthcare insurance companies, the durable medical equipment companies, and the pharmaceutical companies.

Why you should continue to get the COVID-19 vaccine every year!
WHY YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO GET THE COVID-19 VACCINE EVERY YEAR 01. COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to be high in the elderly (over age 65) and very young (under age 2). In 2024, nearly 50,000 people died in the US from COVID-19 and it is still the third leading cause of death in adults and eighth in children. 02. Among children and adolescents ages 6 months-17 years hospitalized with COVID-19, 41% had no underlying health conditions. In adults, COVID-19 related hospitalizations increases with underlying medical conditions. 03. Most adults hospitalized with COVID-19 had received no COVID-19 vaccine since September 2022. In children, majority of those hospitalized were not vaccinated. 04. While efficacy on protection against infection is low due to the evolving variants and does also wane, studies have shown the updated vaccines are still nearly 60% effective against hospitalization and death. 05. Studies show that those who were vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine and get infected are less likely to develop post-COVID conditions such as Long Covid and MIS-C compared to those who are unvaccinated. 06. Despite what some disinformation spreaders say, the COVID-19 vaccine is very safe. On myocarditis, countless studies have shown that the risk is significantly higher and more severe with infection compared to the lower incidence with the vaccines. Sabina Vohra-Miller

Continue to call Senators and Demand the DO NOT vote for the CR without addition of protection of the ACA subsidies. Demand they run out the clock with a full and robust debate of 30 hours.
As of 7: 10 this evening
Status of proceedings: part 2
7:06 = Senate Votes on Government Funding -• Abortion-Related Provisions in the CR Based on the publicly reported details of the bipartisan agreement to end the shutdown: • No new controversial "poison pill" policy riders, including those related to abortion, were included in the CR package. • The deal focused on a short-term funding extension (through January 30, 2026), three full-year appropriations bills (MilCon-VA, Agriculture-FDA, Legislative Branch), and provisions for retroactive federal worker pay/layoff reversals. © • The Continuing Resolution operates by generally extending existing funding at FY 2025 levels. This means it typically carries forward existing policy riders, such as the long-standing Hyde Amendment, which restricts federal funding for most abortions, in annual appropriations bills. It does not appear to contain a new or expanded GOP provision regarding abortion. o 7:06 53 Senate Votes on Government Funding The primary contentious issue that was not included in the final bill, leading to opposition from many Democrats, was the extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits. @ Would you like me to notify you once the Senate holds its final vote on the Continuing Resolution? @ Sources 7:07 Senate Votes on Government Funding I will certainly monitor the situation and let you know the result of the final Senate vote on the Continuing Resolution (CR) as soon as it happens! As of Monday, November 10, 2025, at 7:00 PM EST, the Senate has not yet held the final vote on the CR that would end the government shutdown. Current Status • Sunday Night (Nov 9th): The Senate successfully passed a key procedural vote (cloture) 60-40 to limit debate on the funding bill. • Today (Nov 10th): The Senate is currently engaged in the debate period, which allows for up to 30 hours of debate. • Final Vote Timing: Based on the procedural timeline, the final passage vote is expected late tonight (Monday, Nov 10th) or sometime on Tuesday, November 11th, 2025. I will provide an update once the final vote is cast and the result is known.
