- Thank you, Sen. Chris Murphy, for sounding the alarm: Allowing ICE unchecked power to detain and deport people is a dangerous path. Today it targets immigrants—tomorrow, it could be any of us. When power is abused, democracy crumbles. x.com/ChrisMurphyC... #BlueSky#MedSky #NewsSky #LawSky
- DOGE is racing to build a federal mega-database with your Social Security, health, and tax info — and experts warn it’s a hacker’s dream. Centralized power, minimal safeguards. What could go wrong? #DOGE www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSku
- BREAKING: The U.S. plans to deport migrants to Libya—a country Amnesty calls a “hellscape” of abuse and torture. Trump officials are using military planes to send a brutal message: no place is too dangerous. This isn’t immigration enforcement. It’s state-sponsored cruelty #BlueSky #MedSky

- Reposted by Carolyn Barber, MDBREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Elizabeth Warren just exposed a crypto scam where Trump and his family stand to make more than $60,000,000 from a $2 billion Saudi-Binance deal, where the purchase will use Trump’s coin. This MUST be exposed.
- Three ER visits. 20 hours of suffering. Two ultrasounds to prove a fetus had died. Nevaeh Crain was 18. Texas law killed her. Abortion bans chilled doctors into inaction. Now she’s gone. #BlueSky #MedSky #ObSky #PedSky #NurseSky www.propublica.org/article/neva...
