Bored National Guard Goes Door To Door Asking If Chicagoans Have Any Order They Need Restored https://theonion.com/bored-national-guard-goes-door-to-door-asking-if-chicagoans-have-any-order-they-need-restored/

Since Portland’s been popping up in the news, here’s a reminder of what Portland is actually like.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Hers is a voice we need to listen to.

BELOW: During an event at the Pentagon, Donald Trump honored the victims of 9/11 by flying both eyelids at half-staff.

My thoughts as well.

One of the lesser known benefits of childhood vaccines is that they protect infants from meningitis. Unless you want your child to get a spinal tap when they come to the ER with a fever, you should vaccinate that child. #vaccinessavelives

I’m so proud of my Senator Ron Wyden.

I'm very hopeful about this.

It should never be easier to access a gun than a vaccine.

Read this thread! 🎯

Just when I think things can’t get any worse, they do. 😡😡

This is a great example of confirmation bias.

This is worth the read. We are gutting scientific leadership and innovation. I’m afraid the US won’t be able to come back from it.

People who don't live in big cities think big city crime is much worse than it actually is.

This 💯💯

I support the AAP’s position on childhood vaccines. #vaccinessavelives

In case anyone's confused, yes, slavery was bad.

JUST IN: The right-wing news channel Newsmax has agreed to pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems over its coverage of the 2020 presidential election. A trial had been scheduled for October. n.pr/3UuKeyZ

Slava Ukraine!

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

A reminder that the mRNA vaccine technology saved millions of lives during the Covid pandemic and received the 2023 Nobel Prize for Medicine

So I just want to be clear: Dean Cain's claim to fame is portraying an undocumented immigrant, and now he's joining ICE?

Thank you, AAP!

The fact that Israel, which was founded on the principal of “never again” is now the nation that has been knowingly murdering and starving large numbers of innocent Palestinians, including children, is something I never dreamed I’d see. Outrage is too mild a word for it.

What a cool story!

Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United. Repost if you agree.

Then why is he still so hateful?

www.reuters.com/legal/litiga... Several leading medical organizations filed a lawsuit against U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Department of Health and Human Services on Monday, arguing that current policies on COVID-19 vaccines pose an imminent threat to public health.

Fascism succeeds when we debate the worth of others When we decide that it’s “ok” if certain people suffer That they “deserve” it Abandoning red states because they voted for Trump is playing into the hands of fascists Not to mention all the children who have no say, no agency & need protection

I’m so proud we are doing this!

Don’t despair. It’s rough going right now. But focus on these words of inspiration from Mahatma Ghandi. Evil never wins. This is temporary if we keep fighting #ThursdayMood

Every damn word🔥 “How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won’t have food on the table? And we won’t have healthcare.” - @repjasmine.bsky.social

In case you haven't already heard...

In case you haven't already heard...

This is where we are at.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

The shooter was dressed as law enforcement. THIS IS WHY YOU DON’T WEAR MASKS AND YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS LAW ENFORCEMENT.

ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.

Yes, the system is becoming unrecognizable.
