Judge ends asylum claims for Liam Conejo Ramos and his family, orders family's removal The family’s lawyers plan to appeal the judge’s decision to deport the family to Ecuador.

Outrageous.

Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible.

This decision must be overturned. Shame.

Why should I watch something that a director didn't even bother to make?

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

can we stop turning everything into gambling?

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Primaries for senators

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Good

Centrist/Moderate is great branding because it implies reasonableness but there's nothing reasonable about stubbornly clinging to pro-business and pro-upper class politics when the country is falling apart. This is an ideology like any other, and it's a bad one

my modest disagreement is that i think it is important to signal virtue even if, privately, you are a piece of shit. performing decency is an important part of maintaining the norm that decency is part of a well ordered society.

PSA: There’s a difference between wearing a mask or respirator & wearing a gaiter or face covering to disguise identity. It’s important to discern & communicate this nuance because if you don’t, you might encourage elected officials to ban masks for everyone, which would be a public health disaster.

Zohran did not win because of TikTok and podcasts His victory was the culmination of years of organizing and a platform that resonated with hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers.

There's an idea emerging among centrist Dems that Zohran won because of short form video or podcasting and I'm sorry but that's just not it

Covid is a social justice issue.

Respirators cost money.
HEPA filters cost money.
Tests cost money.
Vaccines cost money.
Paid time off is rare.
Affordable child care is non existent

Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized

Mask up & protect your community

North Carolina Passes HB 237 and Bans Medical Masks in Public This discriminatory and ableist bill puts lives at risk and further isolates vulnerable people from society. It's pandering to anti-maskers who seek to punish disabled and high risk individuals.

“This bill effectively discourages ALL masking - during an airborne pandemic and with another potential pandemic looming due to continued spread of H5N1. It WILL cost lives”

Bringing back an old article in light of the No Kings protester who was arrested for masking:

Awful! Everyone has a right to wear a mask!

Masks are a critical public health tool that help protect people from COVID. Masks also help protect against other contagious diseases, wildfire smoke, pollution, allergens, and other health concerns.

And here’s a lady getting arrested for wearing a medical mask

Transcript A June 14 No Kings protest rally in Savannah, GA. Cops are arresting what appears to be a white woman wearing a KN95-style mask. The main protest continues loudly in the background, making it difficult to hear what is being said or know who is speaking. A few onlookers gather around the arrest in progress, filming with their phones and asking questions. Events Cop: [indistinct] … lawyer; you’re gonna be arrested. Person 1: This is unbelievable. Person 2: You’re gonna arrest everybody who has a mask on now? Person 1: You’re on the wrong side of history right now. Cop: Are you gonna take it off? The mask-wearer apparently answers in the negative. Cop: Alright, go ahead and turn around for me. Person 3: You’ve got ICE agents wearing masks, but you can’t wear a mask? Person 4: You’re really arresting her? [indistinct] For wearing a mask? This is wrong! We’re, like, at a protest right now about, like, pro-democracy and someone’s getting arrested for wearing a mask? Person 5: What the fuck, pigs? You fucking pigs! Person 4: This is crazy! Person 6 comes into view wheeling a bike, wearing a banner with unreadable writing. Person 6: Are you serious? Are you fucking serious? Person 7: (in reply to Person 6) Yup, ‘cause she’s wearing a mask. You’re gonna get arrested too ‘cause you’ve got a mask on. A cop approaches Person 6 and appears to engage about their mask. The remaining speech is too jumbled and overlapping to understand.
