Throwing nurses under the bus— Trump’s Dept of Education is planning to disallow/restrict nursing graduate degrees from eligible professional degrees for federal student loans. Wild move amid critical nursing shortages. Patient care? Gonna be wild.
They’re actually doing it. The Trump administration just moved to gut federal support for nursing programs — a backdoor way to kill the degree pipeline itself. Less funding → fewer spots → fewer nurses → worse care for everyone. They call it “reform.” It’s sabotage.

CHICAGO TEACHER: "This morning at 7:45, I marked a junior student absent—not because he was sick or overslept. ICE had snatched him up on his way to school. His main priority was getting his reading done for English class." (H/T @CTULocal1)

They didn’t “say” they were denied. They WERE!!! denied.
Two Black women say they were denied immediate medical attention despite being minutes away from giving birth, in incidents that happened days apart in different states.

BREAKING: 30 young people were just arrested after blocking an ICE detention facility near Alligator Alcatraz. ICE is kidnapping our neighbors on behalf of fascist billionaires. It's time for every single American to stand up to their intimidation tactics. Let's shut it down.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side. The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in. Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

🚨This is beyond disturbing… ICE agents were supposedly searching for a child predator… and instead, they arrested a literal child in Providence, RI. The teen repeatedly told them they had the wrong person, and that he was interning at the Superior Court. They handcuffed him

Fun fact: In West Virginia, where Trump pulled 70 percent of the vote, his administration axed a $500 million program that let food banks buy directly from small local farmers. That cut off a lifeline for generational farm families already hanging on by their fingernails. Now

This story is WILD. Witnesses saw a man get detained by DHS six weeks ago. A friend detained with him saw him have a medical incident while detained and get taken out by an ambulance. Then he disappeared. DHS says they have no record of him. No hospital either. He’s just… gone.
@ImmDef has been searching for Vicente for 46 days since his family called our Rapid Response line just hours after he was arrested in South LA on Oct 7. He is still missing. https://t.co/KNW4E5ciUD

Before all of that, “show me your papers” was how slavery in America operated. If Black people didn’t have free papers, they could re enslave them.
"Show me your papers" is how the Holocaust began "Show me your papers" is how the Rohingya genocide began "Show me your papers" is how the Rwandan genocide began "Show me your papers" is where America is at right now....

🚨 Epstein survivors say they’re already receiving threats after the bill passed and they’re demanding the full release of the files, no redactions, no selective disclosures. These women have been fighting for decades. The least this country can do is protect them and honor

🧵In the 1970s, at least a quarter of Native women of childbearing age were sterilized without their consent–many without their knowledge. Most of the procedures happened thru Indian Health Service–the federal program that is supposed to deliver health care to tribal citizens.

Here’s a video of the U.S. Army blowing up the giant marble swastika, a “potentially divisive” symbol, that stood over the Nazi rally grounds in Nuremberg.
The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy, as a hate symbol. Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines. —Washington Post

Marjorie Taylor Greene has resigned effective Jan 5, 2026. There will be a special election. Here is the Democrat. Pass it on. And don’t forget how Democrats performed just a few weeks ago in Georgia.
I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, retired General and farmer. Today I’m announcing my candidacy to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together. Retweet and join me in this fight:

My husband @CaptMarkKelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity, dedicating his career to protecting us and upholding our constitution. Today, the President of the United States called him a traitor and demanded he be
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
