Jones: I've been told I'm too young to understand politics. Too young to understand why some neighborhoods get parks while others get police tape… But they never said I was too young to inherit the debt…. too young to inherit the consequences of decisions I never got to make

Republicans gave the Education Department an extra $1 billion to manage federal student loans. Since then, student loan defaults have hit record highs —and the agency won't tell us how it’s spent the money. I’m pressing for answers.

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

Has Hegseth finished that “investigation” of what happened on the bombing of the elementary school where all those kids are killed? Americans talked about My Lai for years. Decades. Now nothing seems to matter anymore and we just move on. When do we get the findings from that?

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

Trump just posted threatening to knock out every power plant and every bridge in Iran if they don’t take his deal. He called it “the Iran Killing Machine.” Targeting civilian infrastructure isn’t negotiation it’s a war crime threat, posted publicly on social media like it’s nothing.

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women. He is alleged to have raped at least one child. He was found liable of sexual abuse. And Republicans made him president. Twice. They don’t get to pearl clutch now.

NOT WITH MY TAX DOLLARS. It’s not just that this is a memorial Trump is building to honor himself. It’s the size & the location. Twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, and towering over Arlington National Cemetery, where two presidents and thousands who died in service to this country are buried.

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)
