This is a big deal.

No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community to fight back against tyranny.

We must also continue to boycott ICE's corporate collaborators like Amazon, AT&T, and any other company trying to profit off this misery.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

democracy got a lot dimmer today, all from the money-grubbing, fascistic hand of Bezos.

Big Grocery’s Hidden Poverty Tax Low-income neighborhoods face higher food inflation than rich ones, and new research suggests market consolidation is the culprit.

🚨NEW: Working-class households have been facing higher rates of food inflation than rich households because of corporate concentration, according to new Federal Reserve data.

Corporate monopolies have been more able to reduce competition & jack up prices in poor locales.

This is hugely important, and should be shared widely. Yet more evidence, this from conservative Cato Institute, re-confirming what we already knew--immigrants are NOT the problem, they contribute hugely to the U.S. economy.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal.

It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

This is big and important, and needs repeating. Trump's insane, unhinged, out-of-control ICE attacks are backfiring. Make them pay politically. No nickel-and-dime technocratic reforms--we need a massive drawdown of ICE and serious immigration reform w/ pathways to citizenship!

Democrats must refuse to vote for any funding bill that increases ICE’s budget and refuse to fund DHS until ICE’s abuses of power are stopped.

The government funding deadline is January 30th. Call your reps today: (202) 224-3121

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Important article here about smart, strategic ways to melt ICE:

You have? Directly? I'm not the enemy here, I've been a left progressive journalist for 30 years. Please don't mistake me for some liberal or moderate apologist for NYT, et al.

I know they’re trying to turn this shooting into Dealey Plaza with their desperate camera angles and excuses for the murderous ICE officer but how do they explain the subsequent refusal to allow a doctor to reach the car? And lying that they already had medics there? All on tape.

While I am no fan of NYT and long seen them as center-right establishment, it's not accurate to say they are capitulating to Trump; they are often very critical of his regime, even while protecting a broader status quo. But I get the reluctance, I know they often disappoint.

Hi, I can't tell from your post, it sounds like you are implicating me in this MSM process--perhaps I'm mistaken. I was simply encouraging to get his view out there. If you bother to look, you'll see I've been at this for 30+ years and am not part of that MSM process you describe.
