Never figured out what to do when I grew up. Love science, interested in behavior (all animals, some plants), old enough to be disgusted.
BTW: NO zero posters

@kerr_vernon It takes a while to generate a 'following'. The FollowBack 'parties' offer a widening of your algorithm, but I don't engage in those - I try to look into what someone who follows me has to say, and follow them if they will add to *my* feed. Selfish, but makes sense to me

@BrettaApplebaum @atrupar Is it in the Uniform Code of Military Justice?

@scardenas63 @DougWahl1 @jawja100 You're right, he is quite a coward when his own life and/or extremities are on the line.

[Seattle Blue Gull @5BlueGulls]

@WaltTkaczuk @LongTimeHistory So, you think cops will ignore it if they see ICE breaking the law? I would find it quite offensive, and would probably report the cop if I catch his/her badge #. My ideal cop does not know what someone does for a living, so it doesn't influence their judgement...

[hypercans @hypercans]

@LongTimeHistory @WalshFreedom Every single one of these crimes must be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted in 2029. If we have to incarcerate half of ICE, so be it. Accountability is the only way we fix this.

@Lina_rays1ya Agree, of course.

“My boy is very different.”

That’s the heartbreak Liam’s mother is living with.

After 2 weeks in ICE detention tied to a daily “quota,” this 5-year-old is now living in a state of constant fear.

The receipts:
• Liam is 5.
• The family entered legally via CBP One.
• A federal judge called their detention “ill-conceived” and an “injustice.”

Now, Liam sees a police officer and thinks they're coming to take him.

He’s in therapy, hypervigilant, and scarred—all so the government could hit a daily number.

And here’s the part people should sit with:

Is a "deportation quota" worth breaking a 5-year-old child?

@factpostnews Hegseth needs to shut up and accept the Military is not the same as a religion. Different standards, different expectations, different goals.

Speak it loud.

WOW🔥: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor publicly HUMILIATED Brett Kavanaugh in front of an entire university audience — and she didn't hold back for a single second.

Sotomayor, who grew up in a Bronx housing project, raised by a single mother after losing her father at age 9, called out Kavanaugh by name at the University of Kansas for having absolutely no clue what it means to live paycheck to paycheck.

The issue? Kavanaugh signed off on emergency orders allowing immigration agents to detain workers at bus stops, car washes, and street corners — then had the nerve to write that these detentions are "typically brief" and that most people "promptly go free."

Sotomayor wasn't having it.

"This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn't really know any person who works by the hour," she said. "Those hours that they took you away, nobody's paying that person. And that makes a difference between a meal for him and his kids that night and maybe just cold supper."

Read that again. A missing hour of work means a child goes hungry that night. And Brett Kavanaugh — son of a lawyer, son of a judge, product of elite private schools, buddy of the man who appointed him — doesn't understand that. Can't understand that. Because he never had to.

This is what happens when you stack the nation's highest court with people who have never stood in a line at a food bank. Who have never skipped a meal so their kid didn't have to. Who have never been snatched off a street corner on the way to a job that feeds their family.

Sotomayor earned her seat the hard way. Kavanaugh was handed his amid credible allegations of sexual misconduct that his patron in the White House bulldozed through anyway.

One justice knows what poverty looks like. The other can't even imagine it. And yet they have equal votes on the future of millions of working Americans.

That's not justice. That's a rigged system wearing robes.

LIKE AND SHARE if you stand with Sonia Sotomayor — a woman who never forgot where she came from.

BREAKING:

We just uncovered shocking evidence that RFK Jr.’s NIH approved $924,000 for experiments forcing horses to undergo miscarriages.

This is pure evil.

And it’s funded by your tax dollars.

But the worst part is this:

It will pave the way for even more horse abuse in labs.

One of the key goals of this NIH-funded experiment at Cornell University is to promote the continued use of horses in animal experiments.

That is the exact opposite of what RFK Jr. and NIH’s “animal testing czar” Nicole Kleinstreuer promised.

Last April, Secretary Kennedy promised a “dramatic reduction in animal testing at the NIH.”

But just two months after he made that pledge, the NIH approved a total of $4.5 million for this experiment from 2025 to 2030.

This experiment takes female horses, including former race horses, artificially inseminates them, then intentionally induces miscarriages.

16 mares between the ages of 4 and 22 are artificially inseminated before having their pregnancies terminated between 2 and 6 weeks.

NIH-funded mad scientists insert tubes into the mares’ cervixes to flush out their embryos, then dissect them.

Up to 80 horses are slated to undergo this cruel experiment through 2030.

And if new homes cannot be found for the horses, the horses will be killed by overdose.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were just caught on video illegally detaining U.S. citizens, in Santa Ana… and then quietly walking away when they realized they had nothing.

In the video you can see multiple unmarked vehicles boxing in a single car.

After illegally demanding the car prove their citizenship, agents start walking back to their cars… like the whole thing never should’ve happened in the first place.

And when the person filming asks the obvious question…

“Are you racially profiling now?”

Silence.

They just get in their cars… and drive away.

So, let’s break down what this video shows…

This is a textbook Fourth Amendment violation.

You cannot detain U.S. citizens without reasonable suspicion… let alone surround a vehicle with FIVE units, and treat it like a felony stop…

That’s an unlawful seizure.

And if they were targeting these individuals based on how they looked?

That opens the door to Equal Protection violations, under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Translation… this is unconstitutional.

And this is what should piss everyone off even more…

These wasteful unconstitutional stops are what your taxes are funding.

Not safety, or targeted enforcement…

But using multiple federal vehicles… agents… time… resources…

To detain the wrong people, violate their rights, and then drive away like it never happened.

Over…

And over…

And over again.

And after all of these documented cases of U.S. citizens being wrongfully detained…

There are still no consequences.

Just more of your taxes being burned through on unconstitutional stops… While they tell you it’s about “public safety.”
