Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Trump admin tells Congress war law doesn’t apply to cartel strikes Office of Legal Counsel told select lawmakers that the executive branch is not bound by the War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional approval for any military action that exceeds 60 days. Congress must not acquiesce.

'We need food, we have no food' - desperation in Jamaica after hurricane BBC, STOP calling survival “looting.” You have no idea what medication & supplies are needed by these people in crisis. Similarly, any who are alcohol dependent REQUIRE alcohol so as not to die from cold-turkey withdrawal.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy. It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

There’s no opt-out, no warrant requirement, and almost no oversight. In a nation built on personal freedom, the idea that the government can identify, track, and store your data simply by pointing a phone at your face should alarm everyone citizens and non-citizens alike.

This is a turning point a shift toward biometric policing becoming a part of everyday American life. The same surveillance systems once confined to airports and borders are now appearing in neighborhoods, workplaces, and public demonstrations.

and even logs GPS coordinates of where the scan occurred. ICE has provided almost no details about how errors are handled or whether individuals are notified of false matches, and there’s no clear policy limiting who can access or share that data once it’s collected.

What makes this especially alarming is the system’s reach and permanence. Mobile Fortify is capable of storing facial images and fingerprint scans for up to 15 years, regardless of a person’s immigration or citizenship status. Each scan can pull up personal data (photo, date of birth, nationality)

deep inside the country. If the algorithm flags someone as “not a U.S. citizen,” agents can override traditional proof of citizenship, even something as official as a birth certificate, in favor of whatever the system reports. And those scanned have no right to refuse, including U.S. citizens.

Leaked internal documents reveal that the app can cross-reference a captured image against hundreds of millions of stored photos in systems like the Traveler Verification Service and the Automated Biometric Identification System, databases originally designed for border control but now deployed

a tool that allows agents to scan a person’s face or take contactless fingerprints directly from a smartphone. The app connects in real time to massive federal biometric databases, including those used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to verify identity and immigration status instantly.

Our Constitution guarantees a right to privacy, yet that right is being steadily eroded by the Trump administration’s expanding surveillance powers. ICE has quietly introduced a new mobile app called Mobile Fortify,

Cool optics bro

Good question, Junior!

Here's a statement that ought to make any freedom loving citizen's hair stand in end... "The Pentagon is “proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our law enforcement partners, bringing the skill & dedication of US service members to deliver justice, restore order, & protect the Am people.”

"She further emphasized that on matters related to setting qualifications for voting & regulating fed election procedures “the Constitution assigns no direct role to the President in either domain.”...👍👍🏾👍🏼👍🏻 The White House disagreed with the judge’s ruling in a statement late Friday." 😖

Ok. This is the second NYT headline worth quoting today. Who’s surprised? Not a human bone in that body. No conscience in sight.

open.substack.com/pub/kellysca... The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons. Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward #EndCitizensUnited

🔊There’s NO standing authorization for attacking Venezuela. Per Art. I, Congress has war powers & WPR requires authorization or real emergency. *Neither exists.* Dictator in WH is manufacturing emergencies abroad to bolster political narrative at home. Congress MUST cut off funds & force a vote.

This is an unprecedented historical moment that demands an unprecedented public response. I’m incredibly thankful for the solidarity shown by elected officials, public figures, constituents, and others over the past few days.
