🇳🇱 Tonight, the Dutch and their center-left party, Democrats 66, have voted against racism and hate, and knocked the far-right, ill-named Party for Freedom out of power.

🇳🇱 This was a blow to fascism, a nod to democracy, and some much-needed light in the darkness ...

🇳🇱 Congrats!

Middle East minorities unite! 👏

BREAKING: Congress just gave final approval on a budget bill that guts Medicaid, defunds Planned Parenthood, and supercharges funding for ICE.

We the people will bear the brunt of these harmful policies — and we won’t forget who caused this devastation to our health, rights, and dignity.

Abolish ICE

Republicans have no shame, no conscience, no soul. AOC is going to have to be our Joan of Arc. And we'd better all stand up and be counted.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Senate Republicans are in a sprint on Trump's big bill after a weekend of setbacks The Senate will try to sprint ahead on President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts after a weekend of setbacks.

It is imperative!!

Bluesky Sunday sermon

She was right then. And she would be right now. We all need to take action, wrest control from those who would keep all of us powerless and fearful. Shirley Chisholm was a force to be reckoned with. We need to find our own inner Shirley! 💙🩵💙🩵

Eff off, fool

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

28 June 1940 | A German Sinti girl, Erika Laubinger, was born in Leipzig.

In #Zigeunerlager (Gypsy camp) in #Auschwitz II-Birkenau from 5 March 1943.
No. Z-119.
She perished in the camp on 3 April 1943.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.

Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.

We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

An open letter to the American public on respiratory virus vaccines Read an open letter to the general public from the AMA and medical societies reaffirming support for vaccination to protect against flu, COVID-19, and RSV.

This is unprecedented. The AMA and other medical professional societies speak as one on respiratory virus vaccines and in their own way, say the Trump Administration cannot be trusted with your health. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Someone PLEASE refer #ICE to #TheHague for crimes against humanity.

Provisions Continue to Violate the Byrd Rule in the Republicans’ “One Big, Beautiful Bill” | U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget The Official U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget

Big news for our public lands—Republican attempts to sell off our public lands using reconciliation do NOT pass the Byrd Rule.

The Parliamentarian also finds their sneaky attempts to undermine NEPA and mandatory oil and gas leasing and permitting schemes don’t fly. This is a huge win!

Thanks for sharing this story. Betcha the male is on the left because of the brighter plumage. If you find out,please let me know. 🙂
