A colored burn-up chart on several sheets of faded graph paper taped together. It is composed of many rectangles of fairly regular size, hand-drawn in pastel pen, climbing steeply over the past week. The rising squares are perhaps two thirds of the way to a staggered black line at top.

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:

$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks

and

$4,049 — weapons and war.

These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans:

In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else.

Post image One thing I should like to say on this day which may be memorable for others as well as for us Germans: In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance the Jewish race which only received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then among many other things settle the Jewish problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!

Donald Trump and JD Vance should not be tampering with Hungary’s elections.

The Putin-Trump-Netanyahu Axis should leave Hungarian democracy alone.

The world’s greatest warmongers should leave peaceful people alone.

By imposing huge new SNAP costs on states, H.R. 1 created an incentive to reduce errors & cut costs by any means necessary – even if it means denying & delaying benefits to eligible low-income families. We warned this could lead to far more people losing SNAP than anticipated.

Graphic showing changes in SNAP participation between December 2023 and December 2025.

This can’t be explained by changes in economic conditions. The unemployment rate ticked up slightly over this period & the cost of groceries remains high. 2.5 million low-income people didn’t drop off SNAP in just 5 months because they no longer needed help affording food.

Minnesota Residents Sue Trump Administration for Racial Profiling and Unlawful Arrests ICE and CBP upended life in Minnesota as citizens detail unlawful and violent interactions with ICE in court testimonies as part of ACLU lawsuit against Trump administration.

When a Minneapolis man, a U.S. citizen, asked an ICE agent why he needed to show his documents, the agent said “because of your accent.”

We're fighting ICE's unconstitutional racial profiling in court.

Afroman - Will You Help Me Repair My Door (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) YouTube video by ogafroman

Their lawsuit claimed it had been viewed thousands of times.

I would have never heard this song (or the others) if they had not sued Afroman.

The "Streisand Effect" is in full effect. Now everyone has seen it and their testimonies. The one who had been accused of stealing before was hilarious.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

No deporting U.S. citizens?!?

That's...a concession?

House lawmakers are considering an anti-immigrant bill (H. R. 1958) that would put people with lawful immigration statuses at risk of deportation - potentially resulting in separation from their loved ones—due to a mistake and/or confusion related to public benefit processes.

Trump called affordability "a con job." What do you call cutting SNAP assistance while grocery prices soar? Stripping health coverage while premiums spike? Slashing housing support while rents climb? All to fund tax breaks for billionaires?

This is fine. Everything's fine.

#Trumpflation has made grocery prices higher, healthcare prices higher, childcare higher, and costs are rising for families as he’s taken funding from healthcare to pay for terrifying children, families, and hard-working immigrants. Not okay. #TrumpsStateOfDelusion #SOTU

President Trump just said, “We lifted 2.4 million Americans off of food stamps.”

A reminder of what happened to those 2.4 million Americans:

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

Retweeting this again, because I cannot overemphasize HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.

And how many MORE people signed up after each murder.

I can't remember who around here said that they had learned something new in 2026, which was that it turns out there is something they are willing to die for.

That.

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Children in ICE Detention Skyrocket in Trump’s Second Term With a six-fold jump in children in detention, advocates allege harrowing conditions are putting kids’ lives at risk.

The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. The Marshall Project analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

"The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children. This Court and others regularly send undocumented people to prison and orders them deported but do so by proper legal procedures."
