He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

I don't get the determination to make Columbus relevant to US history. He never set foot on US soil. He "discovered" a place where millions of people lived and vikings and Irish fishermen knew about. He thought he visited India until his deathbed. His contemporaries considered him a violent weirdo.

Grateful for every step toward peace. Grateful for the release of hostages and people detained, including 1,700 Palestinians without charge. Of the thousands seized, hundreds are children.

"Most Americans probably don’t have a detailed grasp of what’s happening with ACA subsidies right now, but once people start getting letters notifying them of how much their premiums are going up, it will become a much bigger issue."

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

I know the man has no shame but the fact he has no embarrassment about pouting and begging for a Nobel still gets me.

It’s nothing new but I’m alarmed by how this Administration’s propaganda has jumped the shark. It feels like it’s accelerating and stage setting.

This MAGA propaganda is deeply sinister. Stephen Miller has been lying about Portland/Chicago relentlessly. It's core to his project: He's trying to establish quasi-absolute power for Trump to simply invent pretexts by fiat to justify whatever abuses he launches. 5/

As of next Friday, the courts will run out of funds for the first time in a shutdown. There’s fallout everywhere of all kinds—hurt lives and livelihoods—but this is truly dangerous precedent.

It turns out that illegally firing federal workers as a negotiating tactic is bad for everyone.

These are the moves of someone who believes there are no checks on his power.

Come to the table, lower the cost of health care, open the government.

The cruelty and disrespect is staggering.

Federal workers save lives and keep our country going, public servants often without much fanfare. An Administration should be proud of its own. They’re playing games with real people’s lives and livelihoods.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 2d

These layoffs are illegal and will be challenged in court. Keep resisting, Democrats.

Tweet from The Washington Post reads: “Breaking news: The Trump administration began laying off federal workers while the government is shuttered, fulfilling threats from President Trump to take advantage of the closure to shave off more parts of the federal workforce he dislikes.”
Below is an image of Donald Trump speaking. Caption: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers…”

Trump’s immigration crackdown is risking higher food prices for Americans, according to the Trump admin itself.  DOL warned in an obscure document last week that “near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens” is threatening “stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”
