🚨 Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry is about to cancel an election that has ALREADY STARTED. Absentee ballots are out. People have already voted. He wants to throw out those votes, redraw maps to ELIMINATE Black majority districts, and start over. Share this everywhere & follow @aaronparnas.bsky.social

Measles killed this woman's child. But by all means, let's let the leader of America's Health and Human Services run around telling people to stay away from life-saving vaccines. I can't. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

Everything for me and nothing for you BUT you still have to pay.
Trump today: “It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things…We have to take care of one thing: military protection.” The Preamble disagrees w/ his assessment, & our taxes should be spent the way they were intended & not on an ill-conceived war.

In the name of national security, the Trump Administration plans to drill for gas and oil in the Gulf of Mexico, exempting protections for species listed in the Endangered Species Act. The national security threat is due to Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz. www.cbsnews.com/news/endange...

Combined with the story of Hegseth overlooking black officers for promotion for explicitly racist reasons, it’s not unreasonable to wonder if the regime is deliberately undermining the combat readiness of the US military. 12% of the US military are children of immigrants. 30-43% are BIPOC.
"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

I feel like this is murder.
The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

These people are the absolute worst!
This is illegal and patently unconscionable Because “trust me, bro-there’s fraud” The Trump government says amputees can’t get prosthetic limbs Grandmas won’t have oxygen Kids with cancer get no hospital beds As JD Vance and Dr Oz crack jokes and compare securing medical treatment to..McDonalds

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

no matter how incompetent he is (and he definitely is) if you had serious shit going on with the fbi right now — like, idk, maybe your elderly mother’s abduction — i imagine the anger seeing this would fuel future generations
Keeping it classy on the taxpayer's dime. A source shared with William Turton of @propublica.org this video of our FBI director.

WOW! As of this morning only about 350 letters had been sent out urging our Delegates to hold data centers accountable and lower our energy costs. BUT after we blasted this call to action, we hit our goal of sending over 1,000 letters to our Delegates. Keep going! actionnetwork.org/letters/shif...

Don't fall for stupid. Mail in ballots are a legit way to cast your vote. I know because it's how Republicans won in 2010! A Moment of Clarity youtu.be/-VtkK-3bUNQ

Part of the context here is that Bucks County recently elected an anti-ICE sheriff to replace their pro-ICE sheriff. The actions of Quakertown police (which is separate) are best understood as a gang that sees its power to intimidate slipping and so has initiated a violent suppression campaign.
INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

This is the opposite of what makes America great. Thanks but no thanks. For those that voted for him, this is your just desserts.
The Trump admin is freezing ~$10B in social services & child care funding in five Dem-led states, alleging fraud, with no proof. The cuts hit TANF ($7B+), child care ($2B+), & social services ($870M) in CA, CO, IL, MN, and NY. If you want to hurt working families, this is how.
