So if social security goes into insolvency by 2032 what tf happens to all the money that’s been taken out of my check for the past decade????

🇨🇦🇸🇴 Today, I introduced a private member’s bill that would declare July of every year in Canada as Somali Heritage Month! I’d like to thank MP @HonAhmedHussen for co-sponsoring this bill with me and for his counsel. I hope that all MPs will support this legislation. Canada is home to many Canadians of Somali heritage. Canadians of Somali descent have left and continue to leave a historic mark on Canada, with contributions that span communities across the country and are reflected in Canada’s economic, political, social and cultural life. If passed, Somali heritage month would give us an opportunity to celebrate that heritage, the role that Canada has played in supporting Somali Canadians and their contributions to Canada.

James Talarico: “The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us.”

Ahh my favorite part of democracy, the majority voting for something and it still not being implemented

The Voting Rights Act “was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her dissent. “Only [the American people] have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the members of this Court.” trib.al/OGutbOd

Feels like 99% of politics today is proposing cute little tax breaks for niche bullshit instead of actually doing the hard work to make life more affordable

You're never going to believe why the US can arrest, prosecute, convict and imprison aliens, and even deport them. It's because they are "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Who knew?

Worms in food. Medical crises. Measles outbreaks. Malnutrition. Several deaths, including one ruled a homicide, in the last few months alone.  The reports out of the nation’s largest detention facility are horrifying.  Thousands of Minnesotans have been sent to Camp East Montana, so I went to conduct oversight and visit my constituents being held there.  ICE didn’t allow me to see or speak to any of them.

Awful: Stephen Miller is privately floating the idea of restricting funding for the public education of undocumented kids. This has long been a right-wing dream: They want to get SCOTUS to reverse Plyler v Doe and further chip away at 14th Amendment. New: newrepublic.com/article/2081…

It’s starting to look like this hunch was correct and that the IRGC, in a desperate attempt to set the region on fire and rally jihadists behind them, is trying to blow up the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount. This cluster munition flew directly over Al-Aqsa and landed just 200 meters away. This shell would have destroyed the domes. This seems to be their plan. It is the only possibile reason they are repeatedly targeting the Old City of Jerusalem. There are no military targets there, and most of the population is Muslim.

Yesterday, the University of Chicago (@UChicago) posted a notice of intent to hire an H-1B Web and Graphic Design Specialist Salary: $66,629 No American citizen was qualified for this job.

Homeschooling should be illegal. “But I teach my kids better than the state!” Doesn’t matter, the primary purpose of elementary/middle school isn’t to teach it’s to socialize your kid. You can’t do that alone. And this isn’t even mentioning how it can be used to abuse kids

🇺🇸/IRAN: Americans beating their chests over sinking a single Iranian warship returning from joint drills with India are missing the point. Iran has warships. They are useful for specific tasks, valuable, and losing them costs Iran. But Iran's strategy for defending itself against a US war of aggression did not include these ships. It depends on 1000s of small boats with anti-ship missiles and other capabilities to create a naval version of its "mosaic" defense strategy. Instead of consolidating Iran's naval capabilities into a handful of large expensive ships easy to track and sink, it has distributed these capabilities across many more, harder to find and target, easier to replace boats. It remains to be seen how effective Iran's strategy is - but sinking Iranian warships at dock or in non-combat transit is symbolic, not symptomatic.

Spain may grant residency to 1.35 million illegal migrants and 'refugees', far exceeding the 500,000 initially announced by socialist PM Pedro Sánchez, according to a police report

This is insane. No, I don't think we need to throw an 80-year-old woman in prison for the rest of her life. But she should absolutely be forced to pay significant restitution, be punished if she hid assets, and have her licensed revoked PERMANENTLY not just during probation wtf?

There are genuinely so few good men left. If he’s successful and attractive? He’s dating a 23 yr old model If he’s not? He resents successful women Women spent 4–8 years in school building careers, doing everything “right.” If a woman wants her equal in education and income, her options shrink fast (statistically relationships where a woman earns more fail) The manosphere is telling men to cheat, belittle women, and avoid commitment… Yet people wonder why women feel lost The uncomfortable truth? is that women leveled up and most men didn’t.

First look at Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey

WTF?? House Republicans just introduced a measure to REPEAL the 17th Amendment of the US Constitution. They want to ban the people from voting for our US Senators. Instead, they want the Legislature to appoint our Senators. WTF are they thinking?
