Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

CHIRLA just dropped a heat map tracking immigration raids across L.A., and the data is telling. Since June, 471 confirmed operations—focused predominantly on specific neighborhoods, POC, and Latinos. Proof that ICE isn’t targeting individuals, they’re profiling communities — to meet quota.

I have large Magnolias on the side of my yard. It's hard to spy the hummers there, but sometimes I get lucky. Amazing how well they are camouflaged and the balance on the leaf's edge. #birds #hummingbirds #m43 #pamkeenwilliams

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?
