Apparently the Rump Regime has plans to build nuclear power plants on our federal lands as well as data centers. These people have some diabolical plans in the works.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

"Without the votes to convict, impeachment is just theater!" Then it's showtime. A day long filibuster is also theater and we stopped hating that guy. Civil disobedience is theater. That's kinda the point of it. That something is mostly for show doesn't mean it's useless.

Day 157 of the internment. All are abused and in danger. The old, the poor, the sick, veterans, minorities, women, children, LGBTQ, Unions, farmers, students and Judges. Not the rich. Not the republicans. KILL. THE. BILL. 8647. Birthright Citizenship applies to all of us. ALL. OF. US.

I hate the way Iran treats its women. But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes, hardly has a leg to stand on. We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here. So…🤷🏽‍♀️

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Trump had David Huerta arrested, not because the labor union leader had done a damn thing wrong – but because attacking labor unions is a quintessential Fascist move. #FreeDavidHuerta

Andry Hernandez Romero — a gay asylum seeker, makeup artist, and survivor of political violence — trusted the U.S. asylum system. But, he was deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador. No trial. No hearing. No justice. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

BREAKING: Protesters are posted up outside the Milwaukee federal courthouse to back Judge Hannah Dugan, who’s facing arraignment. They’re not quiet. They’re not passive. They’re saying loud and clear: the system is on trial today, not her.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

2/ Trump pulled PFAS limits that would’ve stopped chemical dumping in our water—knowing PFAS causes cancer, infertility, birth defects. This wasn’t oversight. It was a gift to polluters. And it proves what GOP “freedom” really means. 📎 truthout.org/articles/tru...

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.
