We are all immigrants.
"Research in psychology shows that when people with more privilege confront bias, for example when white bystanders speak out against racism and xenophobia, other white people are more likely to listen, reflect, and change their behavior."

🚨Moderate Republicans led by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) filed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies expiring Dec 31, bypassing Speaker Johnson. It needs 218 signatures, and moderates + Democrats are signing on. Letting subsidies lapse could raise premiums for millions.

Dems are doing an exceptional job in Noem oversight hearing, using a lot of clips. @delia.bsky.social included a video FROM THIS HEARING of Noem lying.

But this picture is pretty funny.

Grand Canyon “University” is targeting Veterans and it’s really pissing me off.

You know who went after for profits targeting Vets?

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

A hallmark of an abuser is doing really messed up stuff and then telling you that you’re the crazy one.

Or that you’re the violent one.

That’s what Trump is doing.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate.

I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man.

Never change your last name.

Trump is such a such a useful idiot for the oligarchs that the NYT had bombshell reporting today that Space X has never paid federal income tax and it barely registered with American public.

Today's the 90th anniversary of #SocialSecurity. Since Trump took office, Republicans have gutted the Social Security workforce and slashed services for seniors. Democrats are fighting to protect Social Security so people can make ends meet – not lose it. youtube.com/shorts/uvqRGwew5zw?feature=share

Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing.

This is not about performance — this is performative.

They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish

So far this year, employers have announced plans to cut more than 800,000 jobs, the highest number since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which has eliminated thousands of federal jobs, was the number one reason cited by many.
