Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

The ruling sided with environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe, who had filed a suit alleging that the facility built in the Florida Everglades violated federal environmental laws.

Yesterday, I returned to the Everglades Detention Facility to check on constituents and Floridians being held in this internment camp. I was unable to meet any of the people that I was set to meet with. It's shameful — and I’ll keep working to get answers for Central FL families.

Black Beauty, Autobiography of a Horse. Received 7th birthday. Not sure if read it myself at 7, but soon after. Being kind to others, incl. animals, how bad is cruelty & effects of carelessness. Short story "Star, Bright" by Mark Clifton at 10 or 11. My intro to topology. 🤩

🇨🇦 If it wasn’t so horrifyingly tragic that this is really happening in America RIGHT NOW, it would be hilarious!

The “party of small government” has just created the largest militarized police force on Earth, and a top 15 military globally. What could possibly go wrong with a secret police force that rounds up undesirables without due process of law and locks them in concentration camps???

Went to the grocery store today. Eggs weren't on my list, but this display of eggs got my attention.

"Yes she is corrupt but she isn't Matt Gaetz" is the strongest endorsement I've heard so far for Pam Bondi's AG nomination.

Etymology! Derived from two Greek words, kakistos (κάκιστος; worst) and kratos (κράτος; rule), with a literal meaning of government by the worst people.

Yes, they are this stupid. This is one of their memes... in support of a candidate who received 49% of the popular vote.

#OnThisDay in 1953, the Piltdown fossils were declared a “perfectly executed and carefully prepared fraud." Instead, an ancient human cranium had been combined with a heavily modified orangutan jaw. The hoax had lasted forty years. 🧪🏺
