San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat
My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

Like other NATO members, the U.K. has been reassessing its defense spending since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.
Jeffries: China punked the administration and the administration backed down. That’s no surprise because we’ve seen that happen over and over and over again.

The fake Boston Globe front page of what a Trump presidency would look like from 2016 seems awfully fuckin' quaint now. All of it is happening, the only real difference is, in this fantasyland, the military refuses to do some of it.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didn’t believe that HIV caused AIDS? …And that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (“poppers”) used by gay people? Oh wait…🥴
AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Honestly, if you’re Canadian and you’re expected to travel to the USA right now for work, I’d be making some really strong arguments against that. Flying is unsafe. The country is a powderkeg. Foreign nationals are getting detained for weeks because of visa issues. That’s beyond “work” needs.
Why does the U.S. import steel and aluminum? The U.S. imports steel and aluminum to meet demand for construction, vehicles, technology, and military equipment. U.S. aluminum smelting industry is small by global standards. U.S. industry sources a two-thirds the primary aluminum it uses year from CA
