YES!
You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
He heads health care in our country? ==========================

Republicans are doing everything & anything they can think of to make it more difficult to vote, attempting to control results of midterms. Americans need to make Republicans efforts, blow up in their faces on Election Day! 🗳️Vote All Republicans Out!🗳️
If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.
Still wondering!

I am obligated to post this whenever the topic arises
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
In January, Border Patrol agents descended on Kern County, California, arresting and detaining people without due process. The raid — dubbed “Operation Return to Sender” — marked the start of a troubling new chapter in immigration enforcement. But the community was ready to fight back.
At least ai got it right 😂

Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
Omg what is this from?!
"for the most part"
“.. The Oval Office photos don’t resolve those questions. They raise them. And until the press decides to treat Trump’s health the way it treated Biden’s, makeup and memos will remain the White House’s first—and last—line of defense.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Governor, you and your press team are awesome. #Newsom2028
This Never Gets Old 😂
As well as the NRA gun lobby and a couple of thousand 2A gun nuts

Earlier this month President Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on India due its purchases of Russian oil, bringing the combined tariffs to 50%.
"Francisco" shared this pic of workers planting onion seedlings. He shares there are 8 workers on the machine. They need to move very fast as they can't miss a spot and it takes great hand dexterity. Another group follows on foot to make sure they didn't miss any spots #WeFeedYou
We're in court today fighting for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who was arrested by police for covering a protest and then detained by ICE. The First Amendment is clear: The government can’t punish journalists for keeping the public informed.

This crisis turned Newsom and his office into de facto internet trolls: Instead of ignoring misinformation or taking the ever diminishing high road, Newsom’s office did everything—TV interviews, social media, podcasts. The pushback was hard and fast and relentless www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
Your answer is good enough for me. That's what I was looking for, and just hoping someone had more historical information. I know /a ton/ about the history of the region, but I wonder if I'm missing something. Probably not! 😂

New in PN: Trump’s targeting of Black communities is not a coincidence "Trump has never even pretended he’s the president for the entire United States. He’s the ruler of an overwhelmingly white sub-nation that seeks to subdue the country’s racially diverse urban centers."
Is it incorrect for me to say that Israel is not a legitimate country? If yes, what should I be saying? This is a real question, and I'm asking from a historical POV as well. Got into w/a maga who insisted that the land was always Israel, despite Palestine existing since BCE.
Idk if you watch "South Parl" but the last episode dealt w/this. One character was fired & needed $$, so guess who hired him? ICE. They showed just how tantalizing they make it - $100k/yr, $50k sign on bonus - it seems worth it! And maybe *I'll* be a good one, right? Spy from the inside? Right?
Insinuating that they'll get diabetes from being overweight is the joke. That's not how diabetes works, even type 2. That's not how the human body works. The whole "fat people have diabetes" thing is very overplayed and ignorant. So no, no shame on me. You fat shamed AND medical shamed.
Definitely not a pull up 😂
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news
NEW: “I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.” Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.
We will keep reminding you: Utah Republican Senate President Stewart Adams used his influence to make changes the law that ensured his 18 year old relative served probation, instead of prison time, for sexual assault. Yes, that happened. Yes, more people need to know about it.
Growing up with immigrant parents, first in Canada and then in the U.S., Yang was "obsessed" with pop culture and Saturday Night Live. Now he's up for an Emmy for his performances on the venerated sketch series.
#Trump says he skipped calling #Putin in front of European leaders at the White House claiming it would have been disrespectful. Instead, he called the Russian president later that night to push for an Ukraine peace deal www.dobblog.com/2025/08/trum... #Zelensky #UkraineWar #Politics #Breakingnews
Before the election, Trump was in debt. His cash flow wasn't covering the red. Since the election he's made $253 million. That doesn't include foreign money. Add that in and he's made $3.4 billion. But he's donating his salary. 🙄
Kari Lake attacks mail-in voting now, but pushed mail-in ballots while campaigning
Tell that to my husband who died at age 34 from complications of type 1 diabetes. Or even better, tell our two sons who were 2 yrs and 6 yrs old when they lost their father. DO BETTER.
Possibly during childhood? Had pneumonia at 30 days old, so the beginning wasn't too great... but somewhere in the early years, there must have been 2-3 good days in a row.
I hope this is sarcasm. There are so many BIPOC in ICE that it would maybe make your head spin. So many Latinx.
Rude. Diabetes is a medical condition that isn't to be made fun of.
Under Biden, in 2024, DC police arrested 56 people per day. The White House is bragging about arresting 35+ people per day. Sounds like an epic failure to me!

Incredible!
BREAKING: The Trump administration has started detaining people in tents at Fort Bliss, an army base in Texas and New Mexico. This facility is on track to be the nation's largest immigrant detention center holding up to 5,000 people, and will cost an estimated $1.26 billion of taxpayers' money.
A real leader!
Especially since he mentioned leaving Alaska to return to the United States yesterday. It blows my mind that the media excoriated Biden for the slightest thing, but Trump has blatantly lost his mind and it's crickets.
This federal takeover is not about crime or safety. It is about instilling fear in Americans, starting in our nation's capital. Catch The Breakdown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn9AgsLWkEU
Read the room, Schumer and Jeffries, you’re such cowards. Support Dems who win primaries. I’m a lefty who supports across the liberal spectrum, including centrists, because it’s called strategy.
A tale of two vibes.
If a disabled person says they can't do something that is not your cue to say "Oh I'm sure you can find a way! I think you should push yourself! There must be a way!" etc. No. If I can't do it, I can't do it. Respect my limitations. Don't be toxic positive at me and treat me like inspiration porn.
ICYMI: Lawmakers are going back to the drawing board because they approved maps along partisan lines in 2021. Ohio is actually the only state in the country constitutionally mandated to do so, but the exercise comes as the Trump administration pushes Republican state leaders to redraw more maps.
Remember sitting in history, thinking “If I was alive then, I would’ve…” You’re alive now. Whatever you’re doing is what you would’ve done.
Thousands of brave people from all over DC have taken to the streets to protest the illegal military occupation by the Jeffrey Epstein associate, 36 time convicted felon and rapist, Donald Trump. #3E #removeTrump #freeDC (📹 @Ronxyz00)

NEW: We filed a public comment opposing the Department of Health and Human Services’ attempt to exclude immigrant families from vital services like Head Start and community health centers. Arbitrarily denying people access to these programs is cruel and unlawful.
🚨BREAKING NEWS: RFK Jr. is a danger to this nation. Don’t give in to Trump & his cronies: we are NOT trading innovation for ideology. We demand the immediate IMPEACHMENT and REMOVAL of RFK. Stop the quack. Protect Science. Protect Democracy Sign & share here: zurl.co/PEPyD #StandUpForScience
Trump walked into Miss Teen USA dressing rooms while girls changed. He bragged about sexual assault. His lawyer wants to lower the age of consent. He acts like he's a victim of the Epstein list because he thinks he's entitled to sexually assault, harass and rape women and kids.
D.C. police will impose a “juvenile curfew zone” this weekend in Navy Yard, covering Nationals Park, rec centers, schools, and nearby businesses. Teens under 17 caught out past curfew face up to 25 hours of community service, with certain exemptions.
Jones has lost control of his media empire to a newly-appointed receiver who will sell it off to pay the Sandy Hook Elementary School families who sued Jones for defamation after the 2012 shootings.
Thou shalt not give Alaska to Putin.
What they've done to LA and are doing to DC they want to do to a city near you. We know this becasue they are saying it; and we know this because they just greenlighted $171 billion more for their secret police.
Florida plans to open a second immigration detention center that officials are calling "Deportation Depot."
Volodymyr Zelensky said in a new interview that he believes Vladimir Putin will significantly "benefit" from his meeting with Trump.
Since many corner/convenience stores and the like are owned and run by immigrants, this seems like putting an unnecessary target on their backs for "treasonous paraphernalia" or some Bullsh¡t ICE would claim as a reason to raid and abduct. I hate being so cynical.
"Just following orders."
Like a delicious soup! 😂
I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
Truly being “pro-family” means ensuring access and cost of care - including IVF - never stands in the way of someone choosing to start or grow their family. Trump breaking his promise about something as important as this might not be surprising, but it is cruel.
You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness? Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage. When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives. Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.
Argentine protest music FTW
