What is the point of constant growth if all of the growth goes to billionaires?

Public policy should center on reducing inequality, not growth.

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Here we go.

How can we let ICE take our neighbors?

How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women?

How can we let them ziptie little children?

This Dolores Huerta video must go viral.

There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars!

Don't be silent!
Speak out!

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

It’s funny to me that this conversation never includes ticket prices

They’re delaying a Congresswoman’s swearing-in to stop a vote on the Epstein files. This is bullsh!t and it’s a cover-up.

Reflections on the Death of Charlie Kirk Empathy in a not so empathetic time is not a sign of weakness -- but of humanity

My candid thoughts on the death of Charlie Kirk.

As a Muslim, I’ve received an onslaught of hate from Kirk supporters who believed his disinformation about Islam and Muslims. Yet, I do not rejoice in his death. At all. So why have empathy for those who show none?

I condemn political violence.

That's not demanding anyone mourn strangers they dislike. That's not condemning violence used in self-defense/wartime. That's not denying that pre-WWII Nazism was dangerous, just as some MAGAs' emulations of pre-WWII Nazism are.

It means condemning political violence.

This is horrifying!

Musk’s DOGE smeared Halimi, an Afghani scholar, as Taliban, even when USIP docs proved his work was for women’s rights & civil society. This lie led to his family being tortured.

Musk's recklessness caused so much pain for what?

CW: Sexual assault

Men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and assault women. We can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your state and local leaders to take concrete steps to stop Trump’s authoritarian crackdown: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Cities everywhere:

An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.

What’s the counter argument to #1? And how is the power of the state (point 1) not in conflict with the rule of law (point 2)?

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

Some ICE detainees are being forced to perform cheap labor ($0.13/hr), in exchange for very brief phone calls & basic necessities.

Meanwhile...The owners of for-profit detention centers used by ICE are raking in BILLIONS, funneling money back to MAGA-aligned PACS to feed the cycle of corruption.

The names, photos, & background stories of 1,575 rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, are up on "Wall of Shame," an installation by artist Phil Buehler in Brooklyn. This #CupOfJoe is #ArtAsResistance.

Never forget Pedo President’s role in this.

Venezuelan men the U.S. deported to El Salvador are starting to speak out.

The Trump administration sent over 230 of them, many with no criminal record, to CECOT, a brutal prison. No charges. No convictions. Just locked away in a place one man said “wasn’t meant for humans.”

Dropped cases against LA protesters reveal false claims from federal agents Revealed: records show border patrol gave inaccurate testimony about people it jailed. Prosecutors now face ‘embarrassing’ dismissals

This proves five things:

1. The protests in LA were peaceful
2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary
3. ICE officers lie
4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown
5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case

Glad he got away from those clowns. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Release the Epstein files.

I’m never getting off this train. I can do this every day for the next 3 years.

This really just happened.

Gregory Gutfeld: “I've said this before, we need to learn from the blacks. The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word word by using it. So from now on it’s: What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what's hangin’, my Nazi?”

Kennedy: “Nazi, please!”

This is satisfying.

In the spirit for calling things exactly as they are:

We are seeing the next iteration of modern day slavery. It’s the next logical step in Capitalism’s inevitable slide into Fascism.

Industry requires cheaper labor. For-profit prisons are only too happy to supply it, and make a tidy sum doing so.

Chumbawumba - The Day The Nazi Died

The reason this & acts like this will continue to happen is that the Republicans know that if the discourse remains civil they lose .

Noem knows she can’t explain what “liberate LA” means. They all know they can’t allow Sen Padilla a platform to speak truths!

We feed you.
They hunt us.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
