Everyone in America should have to see these cases and think about what they mean for the kind of society we are becoming. They killed a mom in her minivan. And now they have grabbed this poor sweet kid, used him as bait to grab his dad, and sent him to a detention center in Texas.

All it takes is a winning football program and everything, literally everything, you have done as an institution is framed a success story.
Of course, there's no mention of the 200+ degree programs she cut or consolidated to help pay for this historic football win (by tripling the football budget).

Death in Gaza isn’t limited only to drones, gunfire, artillery shelling, infectious diseases, or the grinding famine. It can come, too, from the very act of eating, after a prolonged period of starvation. Malnutrition has already claimed hundreds of lives, yet in Gaza, even food can kill.

an agency-wide criminal conspiracy against the constitution. no one in the department of homeland security is fit for any government service
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
Dylan Mulvaney's latest success, this time on Broadway, once again has conservative weirdos frothing at the mouth.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure as House “Leader” you can call him regardless of where you live
If you live in Hakeem Jeffries district can you please call him and ask how many more Minnesotans need to die before he takes meaningful action to abolish ICE?
NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus.
