🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
Enough is enough. Our children deserve to live freely and safely in their schools and places of worship without the threat of gun violence. Our hearts are with the entire Minneapolis community as they grapple with this horrific act of mass gun violence.
These incidents were unfounded or debunked as swatting threats, but the fear and panic that they cause is REAL. When guns are the #1 killer of college-aged people in America, even false alarms are traumatic. This is the reality that gun extremist lawmakers are forcing us to endure. buff.ly/vP1GrLe
Excellent reporting by @kashhill.bsky.social about a tragic death, and a horrifically irresponsible technology. I will keep my kids off these platforms as long as I humanly can 💔
This baby wants to come out so bad… the pressure when I walk feels like my pelvis is broken and I’m just hobbling through these last two weeks. 😭
I would like to amplify this post by 1000x because Reuters f'd up this story to start with -- by falsely reporting that Costco would no longer carry mifepristone, when it never did -- and other news outlets ran with it and far-right legal groups are taking credit for something that didn't happen.
I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.
Turn dead or dying malls into senior centers with independent and assisted living, diners, salons/barber shops, indoor gardens, small shops, and clinics so they can have safe spaces to access everything they need.
How many people is that, realistically? The price of Trump’s new ballroom build? Because I think he can sacrifice that extravagance to ensure service members get their hard earned retirement…
But also… who gave the US exclusive rights to the MOON? 😂
Unfortunately we’ve seen over and over again that politicians can’t be counted on to put their egos aside - and few others are incentivized to tell them it’s time to go. This is a proposal worth considering. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/u...
As the debate rages about the future of the Democratic Party, I still think folks are thinking too small. They’re too stuck in the ways we did things yesterday to imagine how we could do things tmrw. So: two off the wall ideas for new stories. amandalitman.substack.com/p/stories-de...
do not give money to dems who don’t support court reform. don’t vote in primaries for dems who do not support court reform. do not support dem leadership that will not pursue court reform. do not bother with pundits who are not on board with court reform.
I really need a reporter to ask him what the difference is between political asylum and an insane asylum. I really really need that on record.
No bad weather forecasted this morning when I checked if we could still use the Traeger for our dinner plans… now it’s lightening and thundering like crazy. Too late to take the meat off now, but man I don’t want my husband to go out there right now. 🥺
Is this really the country we want—a nation that jails women for not miscarrying ‘properly’? Every lawmaker who made these arrests possible owes us an answer. So does every anti-abortion activist claiming they don’t want to punish women. These arrests—this torture—is no accident. It’s by design.
“It depends if you look Hispanic.” From Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...
It's like this famous Sartre passage from "Anti-Semite and Jew," which gets the psychology of it fairly well. Anyone who studies today's alt-right knows this. The fact Greenblatt does not is just one of many reasons why he is not the person for this historical moment.
This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.
I thought a vacation would refresh me but instead I’ve just come home to a heap of more unbelievably bad news stories. 😞
I tried to contact his office to show my disapproval, but I live just outside the district and they wouldn’t take my comment. Instead I made a comment to my rep and stated how disgusted I was with his colleague’s behavior on social media. 🥴
Now would be a good time for every elected Democrat to declare X an unsuitable platform for public office holders and shut down their account.
After the flood in Texas last week, I looked up my own town’s emergency alert system. We don’t really have one. 🥴 Apparently there was discussion to have sirens, but they decided it would cause too much confusion and instead they will rely on weather radios… I don’t know anyone with a weather radio.
Trump's Everglades internment camp just opened. People held there, including LAWFUL RESIDENTS, are already being mistreated: "We're like rats in an experiment" "No water to take a bath" "Only brought a meal once a day...it had maggots" "They never take off the lights"
That’s only 2 months of my individual ACA plan. Such a fear tactic when it would save so much money for people to just have access to healthcare! 😩
To offer health insurance to 35 employees at the small business I work for is equivalent to 1.5x an additional payroll a month. There would either have to be a major layoff or the company would go under in less than 6 months. Not even the owner has job-provided healthcare. We all rely on ACA plans.
If you think anyone deserves to suffer or die because they live in the South, please block me.
My mom lives by an Air Force base and she’s convinced it’s actually the AF doing the weather modifications.
I’m so frustrated by comments on stories from red states saying “we deserve” what happens to us because we voted for it. There’s a huge resistance movement in all the Deep South, but republicans have such a strong hold on gerrymandered districts it’s an uphill battle. Have a little humanity for us.
I'm seeing some of you say horrid things about Texas re the flooding and please shut the fuck up, children are dead, some some sympathy you ghouls... I live in a deep red state and we are the way we are because of gerrymandering and racism. Donate to vetted local orgs not the Red Cross.
You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
I hate fireworks holidays. And so does my dog. So we’re just here trying not to think about how alike fireworks and gunfire sound. 🥺
Went to dinner with some friends here in FL and they had no clue about the Everglades detention camp. There’s a whole population of people who aren’t really on social media and don’t consume news that have no idea what’s going on in the world - or even close to home!
Sickening, revealing stuff from someone with the president’s ear
The administration is threatening to strip the citizenship of a man voters chose to serve as the Democratic Party’s nominee for Mayor of New York City because they don’t like his political views. Just straight up fascist shit, no chaser.
It’s like the geriatric version of an anti-abortion policy. If you force people to “to take care” of someone they don’t want to/can’t afford/etc. the likelihood of abuse and neglect will rise.
If you don’t have the courage to vote against a bill that betrays your constituents because you’re afraid of retaliation by a small group of extremists, you don’t deserve to be an elected official and should immediately resign and let someone more fearless lead the way.
“Immunizations work, they are very effective and safe, and they save lives. Vaccines are among the most rigorously studied and effective tools in public health.” Kudos to AAFP, AAP, ACOG, ACP, IDSA for this. www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/v...
College dorms are places rife for super spreading viruses. I was a freshman during the swine flu. Almost everyone living in my dorm got sick. That’s the last time I was severely ill and I’ve learned now to take precautions to prevent that now as much as I can!
Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.
From June 4. This story is appalling
Asked my local pharmacist if they had the RSV vaccine for pregnant women, and he said they haven’t been able to stock it, only the version for older people. I didn’t realize it’s a different formula… now I’m worried I won’t be able to find the Pfizer one in the short window I can have it! 😫
This timeline has taken a turn for the worse and I’d like to switch tracks. Now. Please 🙏🏼
VEO 3 is why I said you should now view any video with no cuts under 8 seconds to be inherently suspicious unless proven otherwise.
"Vote blue no matter who" was always "vote blue no matter what." The what is genocide. The what is autocracy. The what is Trump. That is what the Democratic Party abides and accepts. The only thing they take a stand against is Democratic voters who point this out.
Spending time outside in scorching weather can put you at risk of heat stroke or exhaustion. Here's what to watch out for and how to stay safe.
it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Millennials just screaming into the void - “what if we didn’t repeat the same mistakes over and over again”????
Can’t heat stroke cause organ failure in anyone no matter the body composition? Humidity just increases that risk. People are so wrong to equate a good body with positive health outcomes 100% of the time.
Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.
My woodworking husband is building all our nursery furniture from scratch and it’s definitely more expensive and taking longer than just going to IKEA. But the joy and pride he has as he finishes each piece is worth it. So worth it. 😍
Can we get a little more attention to this story please? WH Personnel Chief "Gor, 38, is reportedly from Malta. However, an official there could not confirm his birthplace, and Gor declined to provide it to the Post besides to say it was not Russia" www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-vetti...
Right Mike. They're going to build affordable housing in remote areas where people have long commutes to jobs, there are no services like schools, grocery stores, doctors (as rural hospitals are under threat) etc. Not multi-million dollar massive estates. Uh-huh.
That’s my go-to response to these types of things. I’m convinced someone signed me up for a conservative text list because they hate me, so I get to send a lot of “fuck offs” and it works!
HUGELY Important.
Why are you using “outdated” rather than “false,” “disproven,” or “batshit crazy?”
Have either Canada or Mexico announced they were preparing to amp up their supply in order to support US citizens who were traveling to receive vaccines newly denied in the US? Cause medical tourism could be a big thing for them…
👇👇👇👇 One thing is for sure - ignoring legacies of past violence will ensure the platform for a new future will have an unstable foundation. That foundation will give way…
A law enforcement ofcr threatens the use of excessive force - and nothing happens. Everybody’s Bull Connor. Proud and loud.
People are flocking to Florida. Will there be enough water for them? Climate change, a development boom, and overexploitation of groundwater are draining the Sunshine State. grist.org/science/flor... #Florida #water #FL #Climate #development #Homes
When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
Nine years ago, a man armed with a Sig Sauer assault weapon and high-capacity magazines opened fire inside Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He shot and killed 49 people, most of them Latino, and wounded 53 others. It is the second-deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but if you’d be forced to retire from a corporate job, you should probably retire from an elected position as well. Enjoy your old age, people! Cruise, move to FL, spend time with grandkids… let the younger ones run things now. It’s ok to let go!
Why accountability matters: “Civilians have impersonated ICE agents while committing robbery (Pennsylvania), kidnappings (Florida, South Carolina), sexual assault (North Carolina) and other forms of public intimidation (Washington state, California). Opinion”
We know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. It’s easy to feel worn down by our democracy being chipped away. YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT. Look at this map of NO KINGS protests. There are OVER 1,800 in the US, South America & Europe! This is a GLOBAL stand. Join us on JUNE 14th for NO KINGS ❌👑
True story bro.
There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.
This is insane. It’s only a matter of time before they shoot and kill someone.
Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.
ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.
In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children
A Trump regime trooper pulls out a weapon and aims it at unarmed US civilians as ICE kidnaps a victim in Memphis
As for school vouchers (in FL), I thought they may level the playing field for low-income homeschoolers, but I’ve since discovered that the funds are being wildly mismanaged by individual families and not used for education. There needs to be a stricter protocol if this funding remains.
Private insurance could bankrupt small businesses, especially ones with older employee age averages. They should expand QSHERA to include employer family members that work for the family business as well.
They're not even hiding it anymore
ICE has taken around 500 children into government custody following so-called welfare checks since Trump returned to the White House, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Watch this. And listen.

"Give me liberty or give me death!" Trump admin - okay, let's go with death! The admin's guidance says that state abortion bans can force hospitals to turn away pregnant patients experiencing medical emergencies that jeopardize their health, including reproductive health, & potentially lives.
A West Virginia prosecutor says if miscarriage patients want to avoid criminal charges, they should “call 911” “Call your doctor. Call law enforcement, or 911, and just say, ‘I miscarried. I want you to know.’” jessica.substack.com/p/west-virgi...
Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.
Not just younger generations though, I have an acquaintance who just turned 50 that says school doesn’t matter for her high school kids (literally tells them this) because ChatGPT exists and they just need to know how to ask it questions better than the person next to them. 🤯
Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ☎️ Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

Anywhere in public. Kids should not be seen or heard apparently. 🙄
My husband did the strict carnivore thing last year for several months. He lost almost 40 pounds, but at his annual his doctor told him he was taking years off his life from the toll it was taking on his cardiovascular health. So he stopped &gained the weight back, but his bloodwork is perfect now!😅
Minimum wage is actually higher in Florida - $14/hr and $15/hr by next year. And the construction company I work for has to pay several dollars more to stay competitive and attract good talent. But everything else about work conditions here sucks.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.
My parents are so anti-vaccine they won’t even get a TDaP before I give birth. How do I tell them that was the minimum requirement to meet their first grandchild (since I wasn’t going to fight about a flu/covid vaccine)? I’m so so sad.
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
Younger me would be amazed by the incredible relationship I have with my spouse. The examples I had growing up made me think this would be impossible.
