@m_isaac1@BK_Lajevardi By that logic’s, each of us should be looked down upon or incarcerated for the misdeeds & crimes of our parents? My father was a white racist born in 1922 Georgia. I heard him several times referring to blacks as n******. Am I to be held responsible for his speech?

BREAKING🚨 A Texas mother of two bled to death in a hospital while doctors REFUSED the procedure that could have saved her — because of abortion law.
Porsha Ngumezi was 11 weeks pregnant with the daughter she and her husband Hope had wanted so badly when the bleeding turned heavy on the drive home from a water park with their two little boys. She went to Houston Methodist Sugar Land on June 11, 2023. She bled through two transfusions. A nurse wrote that she was passing clots the size of grapefruit. She lost consciousness while Hope, an aircraft engineer, leaned over to warm her up, because she was cold and she always called him "the heater."
Hope called his mother, a former physician. "You need a D&C," she told them, the common procedure that clears the uterus and ends the bleeding.
When the OB-GYN on duty, Dr. Andrew Ryan Davis, finally came, he said the hospital's "routine" was to try the drug misoprostol first. Porsha had a blood-clotting disorder. More than a dozen doctors who later reviewed her case said she needed an emergency D&C right then, and that misoprostol at 11 weeks would not work fast enough.
A D&C is also how abortions are performed. A Texas doctor who performs an abortion later deemed medically unnecessary faces up to 99 years in prison and the loss of their license.
Porsha was moved out of the ER. She said her chest hurt. A nurse brought her Tylenol. She said it four more times over the next couple of hours before anyone brought morphine. Davis never came back. Around 1:30 a.m. she started gasping for air, and Hope grabbed the room phone and screamed for a nurse.
Her cause of death was vaginal hemorrhage. This year the Texas Medical Board ruled that Davis failed to quantify how much blood she was losing and chose to monitor her instead of taking her for the D&C. His penalty was extra training.

BREAKING: Trump just attacked NATO and then goes on to say that "25 years ago" he said that NATO was a "Paper tiger" and that "they would never come to our rescue".
FACT: 25 years ago was March 26, 2001. Less than 6 months after that, on September 12, 2001, NATO invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for the first and only time ever. They lost 1100 soldiers fighting for us.
Trump is a Moron.
To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine#ukraine
“I decided I was gonna vote by mail-in ballot because I couldn’t be there.” — Trump
Yes, you utter moron, that’s exactly what it’s for: when people can’t be there or it’s difficult or inconvenient to vote because of work or caregiving conflicts, disability or illness, travel, military or overseas service, transportation barriers, long lines, or limited polling access. You complete imbecile, you are literally explaining why vote by mail is a good thing. 🤦🏻
Mike Johnson has denied the request from Rev. Jesse Jackson’s family and Democrats in Congress to allow his body to lie at the U.S. Capitol, saying this honor is reserved for presidents and certain top federal officials. In contrast, Congress previously approved a special resolution allowing conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s body to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, even though he was not a president or federal officeholder.
That contrast sends a painful message about whose lives and sacrifices are deemed worthy of our highest public tributes and highest public honors. This is not about protocol, it is about power and disrespect, a deliberate choice to minimize the legacy of a man who bled for this country’s promise of equality. We will not quietly accept this insult to Rev. Jackson, his family, or the movement he helped build.
We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.
Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

Wisdom and Principle from Justice Neil Gorsuch's Concurring Opinion in the Tariff case🇺🇸👇
“For those who think it important for the Nation to impose more tariffs, I understand that today's decision will be disappointing…But if history is any guide, the tables will turn and the day will come when those disappointed by today's result will appreciate the legislative process for the bulwark of liberty it is.” - Justice Neil Gorsuch (2/20/26)
@OC_Scanner So very sorry to see this. There have been too many vehicle deaths in that area from Alice & Paseo de Valencia and that area. :-(….. Please drive with care & conscientiousness. 🙏💔
When healthcare feels overwhelming, look for one concrete thing you can do.
Right now, the Department of Education has opened a public comment period on a proposed rule that would remove nursing from the “professional degree” classification.
That sounds technical. It isn’t.
If this change goes through, nurses and advanced practice providers could lose access to certain federal loan programs that make advanced training financially possible. That affects who can afford to become a nurse practitioner. It affects who stays in the workforce. It affects access to care.
As a reconstructive microsurgeon, I cannot care for the volume of women I serve without the nurses and nurse practitioners on my team. They are not assistants. They are licensed, credentialed professionals practicing at the highest level of their training. They are the backbone of American healthcare.
If you care about access to safe, high quality care, this matters.
The public comment period is open and closes on March 2nd.
Here is how to leave a comment. It takes five minutes:
1. Go to https://t.co/hyJpnuZYJh
2. Type into search “reimagining and improving student education”
3. Click “Submit a Formal Comment”
4. Write a short statement. It can be simple. For example:
“I support recognizing nursing as a professional degree. Limiting access to federal loan programs will worsen workforce shortages and reduce access to care.”
5. Enter your information and click submit
You do not need to be a doctor or a nurse to comment. You just need to care.
Small actions matter. Words matter. Please take a few minutes to support recognizing nursing for what it is: a profession.
I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.
Scenes like this showcasing reckless violations of our constitution are all too common across our country. This out of control agency is violating our values, unjustly attacking Americans, and making our communities less safe.
Too bad all of our states don’t have the cajones the @AZSecretary has, he will fight for his constituents and follow the law and not roll over to the Trump administration on giving up the voter rolls and information. #DemsUnited
The language of these federal so-called “professionals” is embarrassing to all good LEOs across the country. No morals. No ethics. No compassion. That’s #ICE.
Marimar Martinez is the shooting victim of a criminal gang, and that gang has been granted the full protection of the United States department of (in)Justice. This is Banana Republic insanity. This is sadly what America has become.#ICEOUTNOW
Teacher assistant 🇺🇸 Marimar Martinez deserves compensation from DHS for being shot 5x while driving to work in Chicago and the subsequent ICE coverup/lies
🇺🇸 Congress must cut back immunity of these reckless ICE and customs agents
@CortezMasto
@SenJackyRosen
Would someone please tell Tom Homan—loud and clear—that if he truly believes ICE is nothing more than a legitimate federal law enforcement agency, and not some rogue force scouring the streets to disappear people, deny civil rights, or violate due process, then he needs to immediately order his agents to stop these egregious practices—because right now, they are failing spectacularly at living up to his words. Masked federal agents in unmarked cars are conducting warrantless stops and interrogations, demanding proof of citizenship from anyone who looks 'suspicious,' and hauling people away to detention facilities that numerous former detainees and oversight reports have described as modern-day concentration camps—overcrowded, medically neglectful hellholes rife with abuse, unsanitary conditions, prolonged isolation, and outright denial of basic rights.
Wrongfully detained U.S. citizens and lawful residents have only been released after intense legal battles and court-ordered judicial reviews exposed the lack of probable cause or due process. These aren't isolated incidents; they're the direct result of aggressive, sweeping tactics that prioritize raw numbers over targeted, constitutional enforcement. If Homan wants anyone to take his assurances seriously, the masked abductions, the racial profiling, the warrantless home entries, and the indefinite detentions without prompt hearings have to end now. Words alone don't make ICE legitimate—actions do. Until then, his denials ring hollow amid the growing evidence of civil liberties violations on a massive scale.
Immigrants are not to blame for everything costing more, or the Republicans taking away your healthcare; it is the people in power who are the problem. #DemsUnited#TrumpAffordabilityDisaster
