On camera, immigration agents are shooting and killing people in broad daylight. Behind closed doors, ICE is also killing people with chokeholds, medical neglect, inadequate food, and other inhumane conditions. The needless deaths and suffering must end.

Another of my late father's songs that has continued to resonate. More of his writings can be found at FarOutFrank.com #PoliticalSongwriting #ProtestSong #FolkMusic #FolkSong

Talarico is right. Stop them now, before they come to your city to do the same.

JFC indeed.

This is fascism.

1984 was not intended to be an instruction manual

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics. Putin's best week in years.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

Trans youth deserve access to the health care they need — and a federal judge agrees.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Education Department employees have been placed on leave for attending diversity training. Meanwhile, Republicans have introduced a bill to eliminate the Department of Education.

Must read. Musk has taken control of all of our money!

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.

Dear colleges: If I request info about your program, that's what I want. What I don't want is to be BOTHERED BY AN ACTUAL PERSON.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.

All right, I guess we’ll try fascism, but I don’t think most of us will like it.

So ignoring the absolutley terrible science here (nobody has reproductive organs at conception, after all), let's address the personhood at conception language.

"The Party told you to reject all evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

It’s notable that the double Nazi salute is not only clear, it’s also perfectly in line with Elon Musk and Trump’s ideology of white genocide, great replacement theory, and the cult of reproduction. And Nazis are very much feeling empowered to be visible today.

BREAKING: We just asked a federal court to immediately hold a hearing on the Trump administration's abrupt shut down of CBP One, a mobile app that was the last way to seek asylum at the southern border. Seeking safety through asylum is a right.

The secret to winter happiness is wearing two pairs of socks.

In at least 30 states, the government’s emergency plans include incarcerated labor. This is inhumane and must stop.

Do not let media frame this as a "natural disaster." IT IS NOT. This is the predicted end result of fossil fuel exploitation, water hoarding, & bought politicians. Now, insurance corps leave CA & CA private prisons use slave labor to fight these fires. Horrific. www.qasimrashid.com/p/why-socal-...

"Media failure..." Reading this just made my blood pressure rise all over again. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-brin...

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

If you aren't watching the Pee Wee's playhouse marathon on YouTube, what are you even doing with your life?

We don't get to Star Trek through for-profit space travel, we get to Star Trek by providing a universal income and universal medical and allowing folks to pursue their skills and passions to contribute to society and the world without fear of death and starvation.
