Replying to @thetnholler.bsky.social

He had her arrested when she had a sit-in at his Capitol office to protest his extreme gerrymandering to cut out Black voters - it's going to trial the week of Sept 21st. We need to stand with her the whole way. She faces misdemeanor charges of trespassing and resisting an officer without violence.

ANGELA LANSBURY told a story about her daughter falling under the spell of a Hollywood deadbeat. He’d pick the girl up from school & get her to steal money & food from her parents for him. Worried, Lansbury moved the entire family to Ireland. The ‘deadbeat’? Charles Manson.

Just posting this because, as of yesterday, the US national debt surpassed $40 trillion for the first time. The GOP: the party of fiscal responsibility. 🥴

Whoa. Sherrod Brown’s new ad is devastating for Jon Husted. Sarah Bloom Anderson trusted Husted when he looked her in the eye and promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, the program that saves her daughter. One week later, Husted voted to cut Medicaid.

ICE has shot and killed another person — the second death in two weeks. This is beyond horrific. ICE is terrorizing our communities, and Republicans in Congress voted to send the rogue agency more blank checks. Enough. The Senate must stop ICE’s violence.

“ICE Children’s Facility” America, do you even hear yourself?

🚨 NEW: ICE plans to open a new 'staging' facility for kids in Louisiana. Will be run by a private prison company that has reported deaths of 2 detainees since April at one of its facilities. Former IRS lawyer told me their tax filing "doesn't pass the smell test" www.thequeenzone.com/a-private-pr...

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

Trials found that Carevix — a portmanteau of “care” and “cervix" — reduced pain during IUD insertion by up to 73 percent and bleeding by 78 percent, compared to the tenaculum.

More than half of Americans say they can't afford healthcare. For the 1st time the majority of Americans told Gallup healthcare has become unaffordable to them. Over the last year 3 million more people fell into being unable to afford access to quality care or pay for visits and prescriptions.

Terrible news: the Court of Appeal has just ruled that the Government’s ban on Palestine Action is lawful. PA is now likely to lodge an appeal before the Supreme Court. So the mass arrests of peaceful people sitting with cardboard signs will continue. Because that is what terrorism looks like ...

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

In upsetting news you may have missed - ~40 detainees in a California concentration camp have been on a hunger strike since *mid-May* Their demands? Basic rights: access to clean food and water and adequate medical care This is happening in our country. We should all be ashamed.

Sadly this morning, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment to eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects roughly 45 million acres of national forest land.

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

This is literally establishing a second special code of law just for Alex Jones so he can do whatever he wants. What the fuck are we doing? How the fuck is this allowed?

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s. No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable. The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

Klein: There's a new company that is marketing that they have robot dogs who will do security at the data center. So even this handful of jobs that were being offered, they're already working to try to figure out how they won't even need those.

ICE Concentration camps; though privately owned; are still under Congressional Oversight. Now, after DOZENS of Deaths, Congressman are showing up unannounced to inspect. One congressperson found conditions that he described as Squalid and Filthy. Worse than MAX Prisons.
