Everyone of us knows a child that benefited from Head Start. Trump's admin is proposing cruel changes. Changes include reducing the admin spending cap from 15% to 5% & eliminating standards i.e., class sizes, instructional hours, background check requirements. Plz call your reps.

If you support our military, its time to start screaming.

EXCLUSIVE: A family member of a service member currently deployed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln shared messages with MeidasTouch detailing months without milk, meat arriving rotten, and a deployment with no end in sight.

Delta Airlines has become the enemy

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Delta Airlines charging me for my bag? That's obnoxious. Delta Airlines charging me to book a seat? That's obnoxious. But Delta Airlines working with ICE to ship people to concentration camps is COLLABORATION. Boycot #delta

It just never fucking ends.

This hasn’t gotten much attention, but it should. While everyone was focused on Schedule F, the administration created something even broader. On July 30, a new OPM rule took effect that creates a second way to fire federal employees outside the normal civil service process.

Susan Collins' seat is in jeopardy so this is charity. She is not taking a stand. Where is Murkowski or Rand Paul or any of the other supposed independent thinkers.

D. Earl Stephens@dearlstephens.bsky.social

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

Further proof that we do not need inspectors, regulators, etc. The free market is king (my head hurts)

It’s not safe to eat anything anymore.. I literally had one from Publix for dinner tonight. Just something quick and easy for when I was eating alone. Great.. just great!

Seriously, this NEEDS to be escalated.

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.

Turns out DHS is using white nationalist phrases in their hiring for ICE. Senator Whitehouse is attempting to get answers. This is unacceptable. Maybe we all ought to call Mullin and demand an explanation.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

theguardian.comDon’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John WashingtonI’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

This is not the surprise it would be under an actual governing administration

Tea Pain@teapainusa.bsky.social

This administration is without credibility and can not be trusted.

If you have not seen Aliens.gov go check it out. It's hateful and is giving complete teenage incel boy vibes. I'm guessing it's the brain child of that vampire, Steven Miller. WTF is wrong with those people. I wish groups like anonymous would shut this shit down.

There must be consequences for the actions of these gestapo goons.

The Verge@theverge.com

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

They are killing people.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

I cannot tell you how upsetting this is for me and so many others who have lived through the continued senseless and random extra-judicial kidnappings of our neighbors. Stand strong Seattle. We are with you.

WA Whistles@wawhistles.bsky.social

ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week) Do you have your whistle with you?

Discussing current events & religion today & the crazy uneasy feeling we get when we hear the bible called the "literal" word of god. I confessed I read the bible because my grama said it would stop all my skeptical questions. She was Catholic. That reading was all it took to lock in as an Atheist.

I did this in the winter of 1967-68 and atheism is exactly what happened.

I have a question for the legal folks. Plz me understand how Eileen Cannon was legally able to make Book 2 of Jack Smith's investigation confidential. Don't we as the taxpayers who paid for the investigation have standing to read the findings? Hoping the ? is not ignorant. @marcelias.bsky.social

I was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 24. Double digit surgeries aimed at saving my fertility due to my age resulted in the eventual removal of my reproductive organs and two autoimmune diseases. VACCINATE your kids!

Wow who’d have thunk it, vaccines work 🤔 Great news to celebrate.
