This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest โ€œimbecilic morons.โ€ This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

โ€œI Lost Everythingโ€: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua โ€œterroristsโ€ had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the governmentโ€™s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

Count the ways theyโ€™re corrupting DOJ: Presidents donโ€™t direct AGโ€™s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesnโ€™t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesnโ€™t assign them on Twitter.

Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that.

Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds:

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they donโ€™t want to do that. I wonder why?

Corruption & abuse abound in an autocracy. Imagine for a moment that this happened to you or your family.

Immigrants are hard workers, in fact the hardest workers in the country. They are also the most vulnerable to wage theft & extortion.

Is America still the land of the free?

A Dutch war cemetery added displays showing black US soldiers. Then they were quietly removed Relatives fear the move is part of โ€˜the same virus affecting the USโ€™, as historians and politicians say it coincided with Trumpโ€™s DEI purge

I went to see it because of Del Toro. The overall experience was exhausting. Too long, too loud, the ideas like being hit with bricks, basically a gloriously drawn comic book. On the other hand, the individual artists certainly did their jobs.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Chinaโ€™s clean-energy revolution will reshape markets and politics The worldโ€™s biggest manufacturer now has an interest in the world decarbonising

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Many crying in the parking lot at Broadview ICE facility after wife kidnapped

Many crying in the parking lot at Broadview ICE facility after wife kidnapped

๐ŸงตLook at this man. Look at his face.

This is now the face of America.

He ran to the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago yesterday, searching for his wife of five years.

They were following the legal process, showing up for her court case, when ICE took her to another room and disappeared her.

The stuff on Grokpedia relating to immigration is terrible. Lots of serious errors, lots of fake facts, lots of citations to a single biased source, lots of nakedly biased writing... it's just as bad as you'd expect.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

Iโ€™m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.
