The Republican law has previously prevented labor unions serving teachers, firefighters, police and other public employees from negotiating on for higher pay, benefits, safer conditions... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON? HOW??????????

'Ferreira has alleged in court documents that her son’s father had threatened in the past to try to get her deported.' How similar this sounds to Republican men who want to get ex partners arrested for abortions. It's all about stealing choice and freedom from other people.

“I made a mistake there, in trusting."

🧵Bruna Ferriera was detained by ICE in MA while legally working to obtain her green card in this country she has lived in since being a little kid. Her son is 10, & he is WH Press Secretary Leavitt's nephew and godson. “I asked Karoline to be godmother [to Michael Jr] over my only sister."

every american born before 1965 was drinking on average 60 gallons of pure ethanol a year. any national accomplishments while operating on that level of blitzed were purely coincidental

I think about this tweet every day

if they're willing to sign a paper saying they're bicurious we should let them drive ford mavericks but only with base level trim in the hybrid configuration

I would like to bring over my theory for solving America’s deadly roads. I call it the “Gay Truck Rule” and it would save thousands of lives every year.

When men say things like “if you have a womb, you’re a woman,” I just assume they are the same type of guy as Jeffrey Epstein. This never fails me

This is the moment my staff taught everyone that you can sing my name to the tune of “Seven Nation Army”

Only criminals attack the innocent. ICE agents abusing power should be arrested, and so should the man who gave them their orders.

For the love of money.💰

Donald Trump, on behalf of his tech billionaire supporters, is trying to stop state legislators from regulating AI to protect our jobs and our privacy. This is a shameful attack on working families.

Here is another watercolour drawing done on location in Winchester. This shows Dean Garnier's Garden which lies on the site of what was once the monk’s dormitory of the Benedictine Monastery. I still have the original of this tucked away somewhere. #art #watercolour #Winchester

Republicans are the party of death

Look who's pulling a Bush-Cheney Special!

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

Let Johnson & Johnson ship baby powder with talc and asbestos again while you’re at it, Mr. Kennedy, why don’t you.

“Absolutely they knew, they knew and they were doing everything they could to hide it, to bury the truth about the dangers,”

Shocked that people would choose a well run Democratic socialist society over closed hospitals, medical bankruptcy, zero human rights, and technofeudalism! Why not move where you could bleed out in the ER waiting room while a conservative AG threatens your doctor into not saving you?

EU backs indefinite freeze on Russia's frozen cash ahead of big loan plan for Ukraine - BBC News www.bbc.com/news/article... I love this. They're planning to use 210 billion euros of Russian assets to fight Putin, if Belgium agrees.

'Instead of quarters honoring the abolition of slavery, granting women the right to vote, and the Civil Rights movement the Treasury will instead issue... white men from the 18th and 19th centuries who were already well represented on currency and in historical tributes' www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/b...

Seattle will move forward with its World Cup “Pride Match” on June 26 despite objections from Iran and Egypt over the Pride branding. Both nations asked FIFA to intervene, but local organizers say the plans stand.

The repression of Palestine solidarity activism, violent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on immigrant communities, and censorship of the press in the US mean the country's civic freedom ranking has been downgraded to "obstructed" status, the Johannesburg-based Civicus Monitor said.

Yeah, this happened.

This is complete bullshit. I say we riot.

It endangers US military service members if locals in war zones can't trust our promises to protect them if they help us. If they don't help us, we have no intel, no translators, no warnings, no aid for injured or separated soldiers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Laws that restrict clothing restrict personal expression, a form of speech and freedom. And this effectively blocks girls from school. This is NOT FEMINIST. It's creating educational barriers and state powers to decide what girls can choose for their bodies. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

ICE had wasted $2B of our taxes, and in addition 'two major military exercises were canceled this year and a third was scaled back as a result of the deployment of military forces to immigration operations.' abcnews.go.com/US/2b-pentag...

they've lost. they couldn't defy the courts before this, what hope have they after

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free. every bit of cruelty, boasting, slander, and persecution was for absolutely fucking nothing.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an ordinary man, has defeated the great might of the US Government

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

Republicans are selling out our national security and our allies. Trump's Administration reversed export controls on critical AI tech that helps China economically and militarily, and let Nvidia sell its second-most-powerful semiconductor to China. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/w...

'ultrafine particles are damaging our health. This includes 75 studies, mostly relating to lung inflammation, blood pressure and heart problems, along with risks to foetal growth.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So if Republicans and MAGA want for women to have children then why not replicate Leon's model? Pay them. Pay for Hospital and Health visits. Pay for Food benefits. Pay for their private education. Pay for a lot of things. But nope. They take everything away but still force them to have children

Example of poor "reporting" that doesn't ask why CEOs want to underpay skilled immigrant workers rather than pay more for skilled US workers, or invest in training, or PAY THEIR TAXES so we can have an accessible education system. Dig, or you're not reporting. www.axios.com/2025/12/11/j...

HERITAGE FOUNDATION: "Nice state ya got there. Pity if anything happened to it." INDIANA: "Oh, *do* fuck off."

I'm getting tired of this President using his platform to verbally abuse and demean people in our country just because he can. Hey dickhead, try doing your job better instead of focusing on all the 1980s put-downs.

HAHAHAHAHA YES Blessings be on her! Sorry, grifters. Looks like you didn't anticipate some people are just honest.

Hmm. It’s really *interesting * that ICE are behaving similarly to the people who terrorized the twin cities during the George Floyd uprisings. Wonder what that’s about

I couldn’t leave Chicago without getting a cut from my old barber, Zariff!

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight. Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human. Every episode says the same thing in its own way: ‘Be curious. Be brave. …Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”
