Dear bra companies, I am BEGGING you to stop making bras with removable pads. 😭 Nobody wants to spend 10 minutes trying to shove a folded-up triangle back into a tiny hole after laundry day. WE ARE TIRED.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Hear me out… Since we’re having such a hard time finding male candidates without a history of abuse, sexual assault, or rape maybe it’s time we started electing more women.

.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄. I watched. I learned. And now I get it. That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love. Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game. The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics. That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️ And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!

Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.

@LincolnsBible Look for the helpers!

@joshjmcelwee @Reuters The people in these replies going "WELL WHAT WOULD HE DO IF THEY ALL SHOWED UP IN THE VATICAN" as though this Pope just popped into existence in April and doesn't have a whole-ass career showing precisely what he'd do (and has done) with migrants

@jmetr22b Amen!! Great job Chicago standing up to these thugs!

Had enough yet ? If you think you are any different than that women in the car - you are insane They come for any of us they come for all of us - You defend everyone - or no one

🚨 BREAKING: Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot… firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents then dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause.

Let’s make sure everyone understands the facts with Kimmel. As the right is trying to paint this as “at-will” termination. -Nextar the parent company of Kimmel’s show is seeking FCC approval for a merger. -Kimmel made comments about Trump on Monday night (months after Trump openly said he wanted to get Kimmel fired next) -Reporting is that Trump had the FCC lean on Nextar over these comments. -Apparently they expressly used the line “we can do this the easy way, or the hard way” -Multiple executives at the network have on background said they “had no issue with Kimmel’s statements but the Trump threat loomed” referring to the merger. This was *NOT* a network dissatisfied with Kimmel. This was *NOT* a network embarrassed or horrified by what Kimmel said. This was *NOT* a network that thought he was unfunny, or underperforming. This was *NOT* a company freely choosing to fire an employee. This was expressly the federal government weaponizing federal departments, in retribution for someone being critical of the President. This is LITERALLY what the 1st Amendment exists for. It does not protect you from private actions by private entities. It protects you from actions by the government to censor your speech. Whether brazen and direct, or through coercion and threat. This is not about if Kimmel was offensive or not. This is about speech.

1/ Shocking new testimonies reveal systematic torture-like abuse at Georgia ICE facility on Korean workers: pregnant woman fearing for unborn child, handcuff burns, forced medical injections without consent, and staff neglecting workers having seizures and medical collapses.

1/ A repatriated Korean worker from the Hyundai-LG battery factory secretly wrote a detention diary about their 7-day experience in ICE custody in Georgia. The worker says ICE officers mocked them with words like as "North Korea" and "Rocket Man" despite holding a business visa.
