The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes.
This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others.
Hero.
Ms. Rachel:
"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows."
"If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."
New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.
Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.
Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.
Bloomberg analyzed seven regional power grids across the country last year and found that wholesale prices near data centers have risen as much as 267% since 2020. Around Washington DC, near the world's largest cluster of data centers, power bills rose about $20 a month last summer.
Georgia audited its own data center tax breaks and found that the state gave up $474 million in sales taxes in one year—and got back just $41 million from the industry. At least 38 states have deals like this. #AI#News#US
A man in was fined by an A.I traffic camera for running a red light in Alabama when he was actually in Florida and exposes the corruption behind the surveillance infrastructure and promises to continue doing so
He finishes with "Congratulations, you all got yourselves a new pain in the ass"
Alex has been dead for more than half a year. His family, his coworker, his friends- we all want justice. We want accountability. He was murdered on camera in broad daylight but this government has done nothing except protect his killers 🤬🤬🤬
"What did he do to deserve to be murdered, to be left cold, on the ground, dead, my child? What did he do? ... they don't care ... I expect an apology. Why shouldn't we get one?" -- Alex Pretti's mom
PARCL LABS: “.. As of tonight, 1 in 4 homes for sale in America are in Texas and Florida - two states that hold just 17% of the nation's homes.
Of the two, #Texas is the bigger concern.
48.3% of all Texas listings are cutting prices.”
Coverage of the Canada trade war seems to be underselling an important point: Trump tore up NAFTA and made everyone sign a new agreement more to his liking in 2020 with a 16-year renewable term. Now he's tearing up that agreement. If his signature is meaningless why would Canada agree to anything?
1/ In March 2025, shortly after his return to power, Donald Trump’s administration postponed the compliance deadline for the FDA’s Food Traceability Rule by 30 months. That moved it back from January 20, 2026, to July 20, 2028. We are now paying the price.
"Democrats Defending Democracy" is a scam pac that gives all the money it raises to, you guessed it, End Citizens United. Their fundraising consultant, $5,000 every month, is Liftoff Campaigns. So, Liftoff is directly responsible for scamming your inbox.
The Trumps aren’t just using their family name to make money.
Their companies have received almost a billion $$ in federal contracts – a shocking and unprecedented display of corruption.

Many calls are wrong. When the corrupt leader of the host nation involves himself in a wrong call, it’s unethical, unsportsmanlike and wrong on its face.
Take the high road, play to win without the carded player and take pride in doing the right thing regardless of the outcome.
“We don’t tax wealth, we tax income. For people who have a huge amount of property and are ultrawealthy, they can avoid having very much income.”
Unrealized gains are, essentially, income—just ask the bankers who accept them as collateral. But Congress has never touched them.
People who are unfamiliar with the UCMJ may not realize that for an active duty major to do this in uniform, the consequence can be court martial and incarceration. All of it is prohibited, but the wearing of the uniform was an intentional choice, and a likely forfeit of both his career and freedom.
Gov. Jared Polis passed over other deserving inmates to give clemency to Tina Peters, according to two members of his clemency board who revealed Polis overruled the unanimous recommendation of his experts. Polis has now fired both of them.
The far-right doesn't know how to deal with the Social Democrats but Mamdani knows how to deal with their propaganda. He jumped into NYC "Pool Season" today.
Haitian migrants in Ohio fled a dangerous country to carve out a life in the U.S. doing shit work (factories, home health care, etc) that actual "Americans" refuse to do. it's the story of our nation's immigration patterns dating back 150 years and yet b/c of their skin color, they are vilified
After SCOTUS ruling, Stephen Miller said: "We can finally remove these Haitian migrants."
If so, Springfield Ohio, in deep red Clark County, will now face major ICE raids.
Springfield is the cite of the "pet eating" lie. There are up to 15,000 Haitians there:

NEWSNATION: The Heritage Foundation has dug into this and they found a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of fraudulent voters over nearly 40 years of elections. Doesn't that tell you our elections are secure?
SEN. MARSHA BLACKBURN: I have not looked at the Heritage Foundation data
Canadian oil makes up ***62%*** of the amount of oil the U.S. imports and ***25%*** of every barrel that goes into U.S. refineries. how's that for "energy independence"? let that sink in.
Ted Cruz on Talarico: "If you were making a list of 1,000 adjectives to describe this guy, 'masculine' would not be one of them. I mean, if a stiff breeze came by it would blow him over like a feather."
These new leaks, along with the documents Candace leaked about White House controlling the MSM and multiple influencers after the last "assassination attempt", are a big deal. These psyops must be investigated and stopped before the midterms.
12 Canadians in international waters by Israel. Their treatment has been abusive and criminal. Please check out my interview with the family of 24-year-old Sebastian Tows whose only crime is trying to get medical and food supplies to the people of Gaza.

Hey man, you need to stop taking my fucking videos, cropping off my handle, splicing it with other clips (which you presumably also stole), and then slapping your name on it. It’s one thing to download my TikTok and post it instead of just sharing here, but we’re hitting lawyer territory here.
“American Flag Blue”?
Something is very off here.
Trump’s turning the Reflecting Pool into a rushed vanity project w/a no-bid contract reportedly costing taxpayers $1.5 - $6.9 mill, handed to a contractor tied to his orbit, the same company that previously worked on one of his golf club pools.

Immigrants Pay More In Taxes Than the Average Person: They get paid lower wages per hour, but they work collectively so many more hours that over the last 30 years, the average immigrant paid ~$100K more in taxes than the average person. cato.org/blog/immigra...
I'm gonna get this out of my system so I don't go insane: What Trump said about the pope is easily the most genuinely anti-Catholic thing any American politician has ever said in my entire lifetime, and if Obama or Biden had said it, there would literally be calls to disband the Democratic Party.
The #EpsteinFiles exposed an FBI investigation showing that they and other state security organizations thought Trump was compromised by his links to Kushner and other members of his administration with the Russian Chabad and their links to Putin. How is this not newsworthy?

It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.
It's not like the story requires a lot of fact-checking. It's very straightforward. The only explanation is that these mainstream news organizations simply don't want their readers to know what the president did.
Melania Trump made an odd public denial today regarding Jeffrey Epstein. But she still hasn't held a news conference that her husband promised A DECADE AGO to explain her immigration history. Trump said in August 2016 that she'd meet the press “over the next couple of weeks.” Still waiting.
