It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

“They’re kids! They’re kids!” Monstrous. Abolish ICE.

ICE-Gestapo shot a man in NYC with his 5 year old son in the back seat, then they rammed through protesters who were trying to block their vehicle from leaving the scene. I’ll say it again and again, ICE aren’t agents or law enforcement, they are terrorists, murderers and white supremacists.

the truly crazy making part of all of this is that voter fraud EFFECTIVELY DOES NOT EXIST. you have a better chance of finding an actual leprechaun at the end of the rainbow than of finding evidence of voter fraud that influences an election

I didn’t know this happened. Did you know this happened. This is some BS for sure.

Sickening

Heed the warning.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth. Feel free to share.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

The same people who had no problem with Jim Caviezel playing Jesus are freaking out over Lupita Nyong’o playing Helen of Troy. 🫩

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

This is quite clearly a total lie. The story quotes a "draft press release." This is why we meed to support independent pro-democracy media rather than the stenographers for the administration. Begin by subscribing to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Deporting Haitian immigrants over the pet-eating hoax is the domestic corollary of gutting USAID over massively inflated accusations of fraud. The common thread is racism and an aggressive disregard for the truth.

He woke up before sunrise, just like he did every workday. His wife made him breakfast. He kissed her goodbye, grabbed his lunch and work boots, patted his dog, and climbed into the white van he used to take his construction crew to work.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

ICE is extremely active in Seattle right now. I know at least two people in North Seattle who have witnessed abductions. Be vigilant. www.king5.com/article/news...

It would be nice if we could get some proof at some point that Mitch McConnell is still alive.

This past week Jesse Watters referred to ‘the Jewish question’ & said Trump/Vance are sending a message to ‘the Jews’. This past week, 3 anti-genocide Dems, including a Jewish Dem, won NYC primaries. Guess which of these 2 the media is focused on as proof of rising antisemitism?

Scientists have discovered a tiny blue octopus lurking beneath the waters near the Galápagos Islands. About the size of a golf ball, the newly identified deep-sea species was found nearly 1,800 meters below the surface during an expedition in the Pacific Ocean.
