It's awful that Apple caved to Trump and his minions to take down IceBlock, the app, from the app store. Shame on you, Apple!

220 judges, including 23 appointed by Trump, have ruled that this administration’s mass detention policies are unlawful.
They are sending tens of thousands of innocent immigrants into for-profit prisons with subhuman conditions and no access to attorneys. It’s horrific.

"Only 2-5% of Americans are natural blondes, while 40-50% of American women end up blonde, largely due to dyeing, as natural blonde hair often darkens with age. This trend is fueled by cultural beauty standards linking blonde hair to youth, glamour, and attractiveness." And the dumb blonde concept?

I am so disgusted with this government.
It was free to apply for permission to work after applying for asylum; then it was $550 for 5 years. Now it is for only 18 months and it will cost $745 to renew. Graft! Cruelty!

Trump proves that stopping the drug trade means nothing when there's a chance to pardon a dirty politician who made millions by helping to bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Last month, I led an immigration shadow hearing in Chicago. What happened there is beyond belief.
Children teargassed, CBP agents breaking a 67-year-old man’s ribs, an active duty service member whose father was deported while he was deployed.
There must be accountability.

If you ever needed proof that America runs two prison systems—one for ordinary inmates and one for the well-connected, well-lawyered, and well-Epsteined—look no further than Ghislaine Maxwell’s surprisingly cozy life at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas.

Wow, a 1949 ban on comic books is getting lifted! apnews.com/article/comi...
On paper, a California city bans the sale of comic books to kids. Officials want to change that
In the mid-20th century, comic books groups grew in popularity. But some people worried that they were contributing to illiteracy and inciting crime among young people.

Congress willingly abdicated their power in order to consolidate it in the executive branch.
They wanted a dictatorship, even if it meant giving up their own power to assist it.
DOJ & Supreme Court have done the same. This coup takes complicity from the checks & balances.
