“‘Roots’ is a … story following the descendants of a man sold into slavery in the United States. It won the Pulitzer Prize & was adapted into a mini-series. … The Children’s Defense Fund Alex Haley Farm is in Clinton. Haley grew up in Henning, Tennessee.”

Sen. Rick Scott: "Iran is evil. China is evil. North Korea is evil. Communist China is evil. So we're got at least four now. Maybe we'll be down to less now with Venezuela changing and with what Trump is doing in Cuba. Hopefully we'll have more people cooperating."

Placing trust in the declarations of the executive branch is simply untenable. Their persistent and troubling manipulation of the truth has irrevocably eroded their credibility, prompting a deep and unsettling sense of skepticism about their integrity.

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

This is what dehumanization looks like. A mother dropping her child off at school gets labeled a “domestic terrorist” to justify murder. When the government lies this easily, accountability isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. And they will do it to you.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

"I wouldn't say it makes me change and reflect on my service. I still love this country and I 100 percent love the Army....I know that what's happening right now doesn't define America." Veteran and American citizen George Retes, wrongly detained by ICE, joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

The correct approach for Democrats.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

It gets dumber and dumber. Imagine any other job where you’d say this and get shrugs. “How was your weekend Joe?”…”I took the grandkids to swim in sewage”.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social

propublica.orgThe Price of RemissionWhen I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked…

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.
