MAGA: “If you’re here legally, you have nothing to worry about.”

Also MAGA: “Just comply and show your ID.”

The reality:

A U.S. citizen. Born in Colorado. Mother of four. Stopped in Lafayette, Louisiana. Shackled. Detained in an ICE facility anyway.

She showed agents her state-issued ID and Social Security card. ICE reportedly called them “fake,” handcuffed her, chained her ankles, interrogated her, and transported her to a detention center. She was released hours later only after legal intervention.

The lesson is not “show your papers.”

The lesson is that papers don’t protect you when power decides not to read them.

This is not “law and order.”
This is state abuse.

The bald eagle became a symbol of the United States in 1782.

Since then, generations of Americans have defended the freedoms represented by that symbol.

This Memorial Day, we honor the service members who gave their lives for our country and remember the freedoms that allow Americans to experience and share our public lands and wildlife.

As our nation approaches the Freedom 250 milestone, we remember that freedom has always carried a cost.

This is not politics as usual.

We’ve never had an openly authoritarian leader in office. Nor have we had a party totally subservient to their leader.

We must resist as such during these not normal times.

The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters.

Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow.

Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations.

The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species.

The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west.

A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.

Pete Buttigieg: "My second greatest fear for my party is if we win in November that we forget that a return to the prior status quo is not the right answer either. What we need is a series of clean bills, legislative projects that will deliver higher wages, that will deliver universal health insurance coverage, that will deliver things like paid family leave."

Axelrod: There are a lot of people who would like you to run for president in 2028. And there are others who would like you to run for the senate.

AOC: In this op-ed that Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was a veiled threat—it was the elite saying if you want this job, you just stepped out of line. What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

I Lost my wallet in Tokyo. Like completely lost it. I had all my cards, my cash, everything. I was freaking out.

Went back to every place I'd been that day. Nothing. Went to the police station to file a report, not expecting anything.

The officer asked for my name and address where I was staying. Went to check the lost and found.

I came back with my wallet. Everything is still in it. All the cash, all the cards, even receipts I didn't care about.

I was shocked. Asked where it was found. He checked the report and said "Family Mart, Shibuya. Turned in by an employee 20 minutes after you left."

I went back to that Family Mart to thank whoever found it. The employee who turned it in wasn't there, but his coworker said he'll pass along the message.

I asked what the person's name was so I could come back. The coworker looked confused and said "he doesn't need thanks. It is normal to return a wallet."

Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Of course you return a lost wallet. Why wouldn't you?

I'd been living in the US too long, I guess. Forgot that some places, doing the right thing is just... normal.

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia

Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.

Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Internal emails show EPA to “work on MAHA” with Bayer/Monsanto in CLOSED-DOOR DEAL to secure pesticide immunity!

More evidence that POISON is not PARTISAN.

To AOC, Lee Zeldin DENIES meeting with Bayer to discuss litigation, but FOIA documents show the opposite.

The internal email “says that Bayer was specifically seeking and discussing Supreme Court action, it would want an update on EPA’s regulatory review, and that, interestingly, Bayer will provide a small thanks for updating the glyphosate webpage from the EPA and work on MAHA.”

Every MAHA voter should be outraged by this level of sabotage! 🚨

What do you think?

Just about as perfect as you can say it.
