25 y/o vet George Retes, a citizen, was ICE-napped en route to work—tear-gassed, cuffed, ghosted for 3 days. No charges. No calls. No clue. “Oops” won’t cut it. The Empire eats its own. Fnords howl. Chaos knows the truth: this isn’t justice—it’s ritual abuse. Investigate everything. 🌀🇺🇸 #aftermath

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

It is impossible not to read this in conjunction with the Supreme Court's heartrbreaking, awful decision in Skrmetti allowing states to deny transgender teens the health care they need.

Not all resistance wears a bullhorn. Some write letters. Some carry water. Some raise their voices. Some raise the spirits. Some paint banners, others hold them. Every role matters. This is a chorus, not a solo. Show up how you can. We need you all. #Resist
Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Trump cut a secret deal with the Mexican cartels, Mexican security chief Omar García Harfuch confirmed cartel family members entered US in a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump regime. President Sheinbaum is demanding an explanation from the US which tried to keep it secret.

Why is this ICE raid of American citizens NOT a national story? Google News says it’s not. Plus, how does ICE have authority in Oklahoma City to break in a home without wearing uniforms? It’s 400+ miles from the border. kfor.com/news/local/w...

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey
