Joseph Leonard who is on the City Council in Bangor Maine is talking about how girls are sent to ICE detention centers and then end up becoming pregnant while there and are then being sent off to one specific facility just for all of them.When is this going to be investigated!

11 years ago today, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the United States.

🚨 Trump’s HHS just slashed $67 MILLION in teen pregnancy prevention grants — killing 53 of 67 programs!

Evidence-based s*x ed & health services for kids? Axed.

A likely thing for a p*dophile to do.

@ConstitustionX Wow.. and when Obama returned frozen money, they couldn't stop talking about the "pallets of money" delivered to Iran. But when Trump does it, its all fine. What a fucking bunch of hypocrites.

On this day in 1940, the very same day German soldiers were posing for photographs beneath the Eiffel Tower, the first transport of 728 prisoners arrived at a converted Polish army barracks outside a town called Oswiecim. The Germans had renamed it Auschwitz.

It is important to understand what this place was at the very beginning, because it was not yet what the name would come to mean. These first prisoners were not brought here as part of the systematic extermination of the Jewish people. They were mostly Polish political prisoners, members of the resistance, students, soldiers, and intellectuals, along with a number of Polish Jews, transferred from an overcrowded prison in the town of Tarnow. Auschwitz at this stage was conceived as a concentration camp for the people of conquered Poland, a place to terrorize and break a nation the Nazis intended to enslave.

The prisoners were stripped of their names and given numbers. Above the gate hung the now infamous iron sign reading Arbeit Macht Frei, "Work Sets You Free," a phrase whose cruelty becomes more obvious with every passing year. The regime inside was deliberately murderous from the start. Starvation rations, beatings, exposure, exhausting labor, and arbitrary executions killed prisoners steadily through those first months and years.

Then it grew. And grew. The Nazis chose the site partly because it sat at a major railway junction, making it easy to ship human beings in from across occupied Europe. A vast new section called Birkenau was built nearby, and there the regime constructed gas chambers and crematoria engineered to murder thousands of people every single day, then to burn the evidence. Auschwitz became the largest killing center of the Holocaust. More than a million people were murdered there, the overwhelming majority of them Jews deported from Hungary, Poland, France, the Netherlands, Greece, and dozens of other places, along with Roma, Soviet prisoners of war, and others the regime had condemned.

But all of that horror lay in the future on June 14, 1940. On this day it was just a train, 728 men, a gate, and a number stamped onto each life. What makes the date so haunting is the coincidence of it. The world's newspapers were filled with the fall of Paris, the photographs of the swastika on the Eiffel Tower, the drama of a great capital falling. Almost no one anywhere noticed a single trainload of Polish prisoners arriving at an obscure camp in the east. The most famous event of the day is remembered by everyone. The most consequential one was invisible.

The 10 hours of erecting scaffolding wasn’t to strip the letters (something that 30 minutes in a boom lift could accomplish), it was to conceal the view with a curtain because Trump couldn’t handle the optics of the letters of his name being plucked off the building.

76% of Americans say rising grocery prices are the number one cause of their financial pain.

More than gas. More than housing. More than healthcare.

Not rent or the war.

Groceries.

The thing you cannot skip.

The thing you need every single week.

That is what is breaking people right now.
