Infuriating

Catherine Cool last saw her husband, Eddie Reyes-Ochoa, at the Hancock County Jail. He cried as they said goodbye, for now, still caught in the blur of sudden disruption. Eddie is now at the Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, Mississippi. buff.ly/G90ZaKn

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains. We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors. We don't need to desecrate this sacred land. We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.

The only surprise here is to see someone laying it all out like this. Wake up, Dems!

Third Way — which has declared "war" on progressives — is a Trojan Horse for corporate America. Their funding sources are a Star Wars cantina of billionaire megadonors, Fortune 500 CEOs, giant corporations, and corporate dark money bundlers.

NEW: Elvis Brooks was exonerated after 42 years in prison. Civil rights attorneys called his case an egregious example of a wrongful conviction. But the Louisiana Attorney General maintains he is guilty — and thus doesn’t qualify for any compensation from the state. with @veritenews.org

i don’t trust anything going down right now (an apology to Taylor Farms? really) so i will be buying produce from our local farmer’s market only + eating canned and frozen veggies for… the entire rest of this administration. it’s time to support local 100% 🌈🦋💗

I'm old enough to remember when pre-cut lettuce, salad mixes, and pre-cut fruit first started popping up in grocery stores. It wasn't long after when incidents of contaminated food illnesses increased greatly. The cost was higher, too. Go figure. I stopped buying that stuff long ago. Chop your own!

I am horrified by the brutal killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE earlier this week. Mr. Araujo had no convictions and had been living here for decades, working toward the American Dream. ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.

Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!

This man makes me wish I lived in Georgia so I could vote to reelect him to the Senate. I guess I'll just have to wait to vote for Jon Ossoff @ossoff.bsky.social when, hopefully, the Dems draft him to run for President! 🇺🇸 #AwesomeOssoff2028

Jon Ossoff@ossoff.bsky.social

To this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated President.

It should have been a celebration that reminded us of everything that connects us as a nation a moment to showcase the incredible diversity and creativity of the American people. That would have been a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.

To the people who keep saying we need change, but can’t be bothered to vote: your opinion is no longer needed, wanted, or relevant. You can’t demand a better future while refusing to participate in creating one.

Billionaire have jacked up our bills, poisoned our water, and killed our jobs. They can never have enough. New Orleans deserves better. We’ve worked too hard to give away our city to predators who will take everything
