For fuck’s sake. Socialism is NOT Communism

Capitalism – anybody can be rich
Communism – nobody can be rich
Socialism – anybody can be rich but nobody should be poor

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

This father went to his citizenship hearing expecting a handshake.

Instead, ICE shackled him, threw him into a van, and tore him away from his pregnant wife and four children—without even letting him say goodbye.

Kasper Eriksen arrived in Mississippi from Denmark in 2013, fully documented and determined to build a life here.

He started a family, became part of his community, and followed every rule. He was never accused, let alone convicted, of any crime.

But as best we understand, he's now imprisoned because of a single clerical mistake made years ago. In 2015, Kasper and his wife, Savannah, missed filing one form, among the hundreds required on the complicated path to citizenship.

Savannah had just suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child. In the painful days that followed, paperwork deadlines understandably slipped past unnoticed.

Now, over a month after his arrest, Kasper remains locked in a detention facility notorious for cruelty, neglect, and abuse.

Savannah—eight months pregnant, at high risk, and terrified—is desperately pleading for her husband's return.

She and their children have no idea when or if they'll ever see him again, and she doesn't know if he'll be present for her child's birth.

Every day brings another nightmare under the Trump administration.

The actions of our government are evil. There's simply no other way to describe it.

May God have mercy on us all for allowing this to happen.

@krassenstein The Trump administration intends to lay off 40% of the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) employees, who provide mortgage insurance to buyers with poor credit or limited savings.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Merrick Garland, release the evidence on Trump and January 6, no redactions, no excuses. We’ve paid for it in every way, including the risk of losing our democracy and nation. You owe it to the Constitution and the American people. Truth is the last chance at justice. Do it now.

Many people will share rumors, claiming to know who killed Brian Thompson.

And United Healthcare will be there, to deny people's claims.

It's what they do.

If you ever look into Twitter /X you'll see that this morning the X Man is demanding that ACLU be defunded.
All of his following cattle are clucking their tongues in agreement.
ACLU has no government funding.
Gives you an idea of Elon's extraordinary ignorance.
As for his cows,moooo.

It’s your right to vote for someone against your own self-interests, and it’s my right to call you a shortsighted stupid fucking idiot for doing it.

Trump’s rally yesterday was on a private plot of land, not at the actual Coachella Festival site.

But here’s the kicker—he bussed his supporters to the rally but didn’t bus them back to their cars parked six miles away.

Will MAGA Nation ever get it through their heads—TRUMP DOESN’T GAF ABOUT YOU 📢

[Rhonda Petrella @RhondaLucci]

Waited 7 hrs to be bussed into the middle of a Coachella TRUMP RALLY. Then abandoned 6-7 miles away from their own transportation at night. TRUMP is lavishing in the knowledge that he can CONTROL these people. And hold their well-being on a whim. Same way he would our country.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Trump’s Coachella crowd was left stranded in the middle of nowhere (because that’s where the rally was held) almost 6 MILES from their cars with virtually no buses operating after it was over. This is how he treats his most loyal supporters. MAGA, HE DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU
