AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

ICE could not have picked a worse city to invade, Portland is one of those cities that can mock government over reach in ways that historians will teach about.

But here's the problem: if you tried to transfer that money into the military personnel accounts (milpers), it would immediately transform into money whose period of availability ended on September 30, 2025 - and thus not be usable anymore, despite the money existing.

This entire thread explains why Trump's money laundering to pay the troops is a crime.

Here's the key bit.

I'm a therapist that works for a small group private practice and we've also stopped receiving payments from Medicare. Most therapists who don't work for large agencies are either in solo practice or work for a small business. An interruption in payments really affects us.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!
No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"
We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

About 13 officers in a crowd of community members and protesters were exposed to the tear gas. This is the second time CPD officers have been gassed by ICE while trying to work with them.

The move violates a judge’s order telling federal agents to rein in excessive force. trib.al/hmhsWkI
