Sharing my story about how I survived brain surgery, offer my gratitude and share a few insights about leaning on friends, family & faith and leaning into my own vulnerability: I survived brain surgery--and the American health care system (opinion) - CNN cnn.com/2021/05/07/opi…

I have a friend in Cuba and what they just reported should end careers in Washington. Every single patient on a ventilator in their hospital died tonight. The power went out. The ventilators stopped. This isn't a rare incident anymore. Cuba's grid has collapsed 3 times THIS MONTH. The hospital staff told them they've had more emergency deaths in the last 30 days than in all of last year combined. A patient with leukemia at a Havana hospital told reporters: "Without fuel or affordable transportation, life has only gotten harder. We are fighting every day." NICU babies are on bare minimum power right now. Dialysis patients are playing Russian roulette with every blackout. Cuba has received ZERO oil in 3 months. That's not a shortage. That's a blockade. The US blocked a Russian rescue mission — 730,000 barrels of oil heading to Cuba — turned it away. Then the official story went: "We're sending $6 million in humanitarian aid." $6 million in aid. 930,000 barrels of oil blocked. You can't fix ventilators with $6 million when the grid is dark. And Trump's own words from March 6, 2026: "Cuba will fall. After 50 years, this is the cherry on top of the cake." The people dying in hospitals tonight are his cherry on top. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

Oil prices are up. Measles is back. Farms are folding. Tariffs are raising grocery costs. Illinoisans have been sent to fight another Middle East war. Trump has been an unmitigated disaster for America.

What a despicable person. I hope someone has taken Henry in, he deserves better.

Every single Republican voted no to fund TSA.

Why pay ICE agents to do TSA workers job when they can just pay TSA workers???

Just paid this in Des Moines at the Shell station off 272nd.

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans.

Elon Musk was found liable for deliberately driving down Twitter's stock price before buying it. 💼⚖️ Let that sink in. One of the richest men in the world manipulated the market, tanked a company's value, and then scooped it up at a discount—using the chaos he created. And now, a jury says: That's fraud. This isn't about "genius" or "vision." It's about power without accountability. A man who plays by his own rules, treats markets like video games, and expects the rest of us to call it innovation. But here's the thing: The law caught up. Eventually. Slowly. But it did. Maybe now we start asking the harder question: If he did this with Twitter, what else has he been doing? And who let him? 🕵️♂️ #ElonMusk #Twitter #Fraud #Accountability #LawMatters

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Seven times. That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities. How despicable.

ICE detain 7 year old girl from Canada—who suffers from severe autism. She's traumatized in loud & overcrowded cell—no reason she can't be at home with her legal stepfather. "They are being unlawfully detained," he said. "My wife and daughter's papers are good and up to date." He provided his wife's social security documentation—that prove she is a lawful alien with a right to work in the U.S. Mother and child are currently locked up at the Ursula ICE detention center in McAllen, Texas—notorious for having child "cages."

Trump thinks fraud by poor people with dark skin is very bad, but fraud by affluent white people is something everybody like him does

“Apparently I’m an idiot.” Woman at Pennsylvania gas station who voted for Trump rips into him, calls him “a worthless pile of sh*t”.

#OnThisDay in 1970, Dana Elaine Owens — known professionally as Queen Latifah — was born in Newark, New Jersey. She broke barriers and set standards as a rapper, a singer, and an actress. #WomensHistoryMonth #NMAAHCHipHop

This is Cherise Doyley. She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse told her to cover up with a bedsheet. Then a tablet appeared at her bedside. On the screen: a judge. Lawyers. Hospital staff. She hadn’t asked for a hearing. The hospital had. Doyley is a professional birthing doula. She refused a C-section — she’d had three before, and one left her hemorrhaging. She knew the risks. It didn’t matter. And here’s the part people should pay attention to. The state filed an emergency petition. She had minutes to prepare. No lawyer. No advocate. A three-hour hearing. In the middle of active labor. A judge decided how she would give birth. This is the fetal personhood movement, fully realized. And it’s already happening. To Black women. In Florida. Read the full @ProPublica investigation. “A judge decided how she would give birth. That’s legal right now. Should it be? #ReproductiveRights #DemsUnited

Thank you Richard Engel for sharing your story & Amen !

ICE brutally detain man inside Home Depot—ripping his shirt off in front of other shoppers. "Was all that beating necessary?" witnesses ask. "He was on the floor and you were attacking him." Video shows man lying dazed and immobilized on floor with agent sitting on top of him with his full body weight. Agents claim to have a warrant—but don't even know the name of the man they are arresting. The incident occurred inside a Home Depot location in Paramount, California.

Immigration law expert: My youngest clients have been 1- and 2-year-olds. Children have been arrested and detained across the United States. From January to October 2025, 3800+ children were arrested by federal immigration authorities, including 20 infants. 1700+ were detained.

“St. Patrick’s Day invites us to look at the present. Just as Irish immigrants once came to this country seeking hope and opportunity, today many immigrants come to our nation leaving everything behind, seeking a better life for themselves and their families. “As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called not to see them as strangers, but as brothers and sisters, welcoming them with respect and walking together in faith. “On this St. Patrick's Day, the question is both simple and important. Will we remember our own story? Will we welcome others as brothers and sisters? Will we cast our nets wider just as Christ asked us to do?” — Archbishop Ronald Hicks
