US citizens are paying for this clown show.

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Bruce Fanjoy has launched a petition to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top security clearance.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Ottawa gives Canada Post a $1.01-billion loan The federal government says it is making more than $1 billion available to Canada Post in the form of a repayable loan to help the Crown corporation.

The government is giving a loan to a Crown corporation that should just be a public service that we pay for because it provides an essential task that Canadians depend on.

We don’t provide loans to the health care system or schools; we just pay for them.

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

“The Epstein class” is a keeper.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The orange felon says he doesn’t know why Tulsi Moscow Gabbard was at the raid on a Georgia election office and Tulsi says she was ordered by him to be there.

This treasonous diabolical scandal is growing bigger by the day and the American state media have no interest in it.

No, but money can clearly take the worst and most broken people and turn them into existential threats to the species, instead of just the lonely little losers they really are.

Excellent. Be miserable, you Nazi POS.

Oh, I hope Carney leans into this.

As a class, something changed for the billionaires in 2024

Wyden has been the main voice pointing at the large trove of US Treasury documents that exist on Epstein that haven't been released either.

Epstein made 4,725 wire transfers of over $1 billion dollars, with no legitimate purpose... And yet was never audited by the IRS?

Shady all the way down.

If the 300+ people who were just shamefully fired from the Washington Post united and started a new media thing of their own, I’d donate immediately.

So would millions of people worldwide.

You all could build something very powerful.

And truly independent.

They are narrative interpreters, not reporters/journalists, and the difference is especially glaring when the narrative they're interpreting is merely Trump's preferred PR strategy of the moment.

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Every time I see rich and powerful men jerking off to the idea of sexually subjugating women, I think of how many men told me that I was overreacting years ago when I said that they would also eventually overturn Roe v. Wade. And then I want to punch a wall.

I actually want to do much more than that, but I enjoy having a Bluesky account and would prefer not to be banned for strongly encouraging violence

The Washpost's editor said today that, amid the layoffs, one of the Post's top priorities will be "national security, in DC and abroad."

And at the same time, the Post is laying off every journalist in the Middle East. And Ukraine.
