Graham Platner claims he's changed. Why is he still using the r-word? The left have their own ableism problems to grapple with, not just Republicans.

I've been a huge supporter of yours. I can't figure out why are you supporting this guy?

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

Workers at an Amazon fulfillment center in Troutdale, Oregon, said they were told to keep working as a colleague lay dying on the floor.

“Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work,” Sam recalled the manager saying.

Using the r-word is just bad. Democrats should have higher standards for themselves than Trump when it comes to using a slur that MANY disabled people find offensive. Looking at you, Graham Platner. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

All of them just announced layoffs—after getting huge corporate tax breaks last year.

We're still waiting for the responses to the letters @warren.senate.gov sent them demanding answers.

Their governor sucks

Looks great to me

Love him!! 🥰

Living in a Time of Lunatics and Monsters Let's be honest about the roots, costs and consequences of the Iran War

We are living in a time of absolute, utter madness...and too many people are unwilling to acknowledge it. My latest.

A U.S. veteran adopted an orphan from Iran. Decades later, ICE is trying to deport her The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Amazon's tax bill fell by 87% even though its profits rose by 45%.

Shoveling more money to the richest people and richest corporations at the same time so many people will be losing health care access

When someone illegally takes your money, that’s called stealing.

Donald Trump stole your money with his illegal tariffs — and you paid higher prices on everything from housing to groceries.

It’s time for Trump to pay up and give back your money.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Two-month-old baby 'choking on his own vomit' while detained in Dilley 'His life is in danger,' U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan Nicolás. The child fell ill after spending almost a month — or half his life — in a San Antonio-area family detention facility...

Hissing booth. 50 cents hisses, one dollar scratches. Brown white and black catto at the booth.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. Abolish DHS

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

I think the Olympic ideal of peace and harmony is best captured by a room full of people, all from different countries from across the globe, booing JD Vance together.

May he be greeted by such vocal harmony every day.

Get rid of the 287(g) agreement if you want to protect the people of Massachusetts

Abolish and prosecute ICE or get out of the way

This one weird trick could stop US women from voting | Arwa Mahdawi The Save Act – which would do the opposite of its title – could have a huge impact on the midterm elections

The GOP blames women for undermining them on issues like abortion & ICE & thus hopes to pass the “SAVE Act,” which will make it harder for married women who changed their last names to vote. But they want you to think it’s about “election integrity”. 1/31/26 #HandmaidsTale 1/

Abolish and prosecute ICE

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They are evil. Training has nothing to do with it.

My top worry is that we are getting executed in the streets and children are being imprisoned.

Anything less than abolishing and prosecuting ICE is a disgrace. US citizens are being executed in the streets, families are being ripped apart, and babies are being imprisoned. "We the people" are on our own now. No one is helping us.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

🧵This is what our tax dollars are going towards.

Not education, health care, or public transport.

Cages for people.

DHS just paid $70 million in cash for a warehouse in Surprise, AZ.

The week before, $102 million for one in Maryland.

A third in El Paso.

Thank you!!
