En uno de sus nuevos trampantojos visuales, Trump vuelve a hacer campaña contra ‘celebrities’ que han criticado sus políticas, como Julia Roberts y Robert De Niro. En un vídeo hecho con IA simula ser médico y pone a actores de Hollywood a reconocer que tienen una enfermedad

We are so excited to deepen our work and partnership with the Amarillo Reproductive Freedom Alliance to support young people in Texas, especially those living in rural areas. We’re always stronger when we work together!

Universal Basic Income works. It works extremely well because what people need is cash, trust, and dignity, not paternalistic bureaucratic hoops to jump through to exist. And yes we can afford it because the lack of it is very costly. UBI should be seen as an investment with a large expected return.

This is a great example of why memes should never be used as attribution; this was debunked in January. www.kyivpost.com/post/68368

i’m sure it has NOTHING to do with this www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The water crisis is here. Both cities & farms are facing shortages, and this is before AI data centers even arrive. Where the centers cropped up, water wells ran dry or became polluted. Sign our petition if you want a TX Ag Commissioner who fights to save Texas water www.claytontuckertx.com/water

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

i see nothing that identifies these men as ICE or police, how are people just standing around letting this happen?

The violence comes as Israel continues its push to expand control over Palestinian territories.

No one is sub human. He’s a human just the same as you and I. Making that category of monsters both allows us to perpetuate injustice on others, and to absolve ourselves of their sins. They’re human, and that’s why it’s so absolutely unforgivable.

We need a moratorium on AI data centers. They are coming to mess with our water, jack up our power bills, & take away our farmland. Sign our petition if you want an TX Ag Comm who puts the brakes on AI Data Centers, not one who takes money from them. www.claytontuckertx.com/stop_ai_cent...

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

El imperio de Trump se ha visto reforzado por los vínculos con las monarquías del golfo Pérsico, donde su fortuna ha escalado varios peldaños de la mano de jeques y de las criptomonedas. La misma región en la que ahora Washington ha desatado una guerra

some weeks ago i attended a resource fair thing, a meeting of representatives of nonprofits in the area. as i sat listening to what all of the various organizations do, i could not help thinking that most of the needs could be addressed by UBI and universal healthcare.

I truly feel sorry for every American smart enough to realize that this makes the United States look like the dumbest nation on the planet.

epic article that says trans people are really biologically their assigned sex and that "some of" the results of this polling are due to "unwillingness to even *entertain* a debate" by trans rights activists. hell, the headline presenting this as "backlash" is disengenuous. fuck your transphobic rag

She was killed by CBP negligence in 2023. Under a (D) president. There is not reforming this monstrosity. This only shows that DHS should be ripped out by the roots and thrown in the trash heap of history. www.lawcommentary.com/articles/15-...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

This is not the end of the fight. This is a strategic retreat so that we let off the gas. Don't blink. Don't look away. Don't stop pushing back on them.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

A guy they interviewed minutes ago on the street said ICE told a neighbor he and his family could leave. When the got in the car, ICE pepperballed and tear gassed the car. One of the rescue squads called to the scene was for the baby, not breathing. Uknown condition. He has video

“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.” MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

"Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe 'entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.'" I don't even know what to say at this point except fuck ICE and fuck the settler colonial government of the so-called united states apnews.com/article/ice-...

Epidemic abuse: "One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police" "White nationalists pervade law enforcement 10,000 family dogs killed by police every year (DOJ: "epidemic") "Police solve just 2% of all major crimes" "NYPD Costs $10 Billion a Year "50% of municipal budgets

@davidcorn.bsky.social In this article from 2014, it documents that border patrol between 2010 and 2012 stepped in front of moving vehicles intentionally 62 times to justify shooting. Ice agent Jon Ross is mentioned in this article for being under review for it. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

It’s meant to chill dissent. She did exactly the right thing and was arrested for it. We can’t let her be the only one. Don’t let this intimidate you, let this remind you that if enough of us stand together, they can’t arrest us all.

good god almighty! how can we even be talking about what /could/ happen after midterms when we are in a fucking crisis with a madman in charge RIGHT NOW!!! how can the Dem leadership just sit back and “hope” the GOP will do something?! 🤬
