Kristi Noem would be the only one in a moral dilemma or would just get twice the ammo.
The hate & racism that has boiled over, cannot stand. The pot needs to be taken off the stove, no longer allowed to simmer under the surface of our every day lives. Freedom of religion is not just for whites.

Excellent piece drawing parallels btwn the suppression of the #EpsteinFiles & closure of gender studies programs across US universities. A lot of food for thought here. They're foolish to think you can turn back time-that ship has sailed.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Why are so many undocumented immigrants being held in detention for so long instead of being deported?
Simple. The billionaires who own the detention centers get paid for keeping people here. They don't get paid for people who get deported.
It's not about the law, it's about taking your money.

I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better.
Now look where we are.
