Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes.

Trump just pardoned them.

Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.”

Ridiculous.😐

Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe.

“No one should be assaulted for being out there protesting,” he says.

With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

We often forget that not only did the Dems not roll back the Bush stuff they expanded the security state’s powers and reach only to hand it off to trump, twice. With an opposition like that journalism like yours is beyond essential.

This sounds like everything those of us who objected to Obama’s argument that internal deliberations were enough to satisfy due process were worried about and tried to warn folks where that line of reasoning was headed, and now we’re there

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

It should be disqualifying for the position of leader, if you can’t do the job why do you have it?

And I say this as an attorney myself:

Stop empowering us.

Our profession is intellectually bankrupt, & our value is dependent on gate keeping and pretending things are more intellectually rigorous than it is.

Seek ideas elsewhere.

And when an attorney tells you it can’t be done, ignore them.

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility.

So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned.

This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Remember kids, it’s not socialism if the state funding is for the bros.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Screenshot of Reductress post. Jake tapper sitting next to Hakeem Jeffries Text reads: Establishment Democrats Just Not Sure if Mamdani Went About Decisive, Crushing Victory the Right Way @reductress Reductress*

Our @sbworkersunited.org baristas are ready to go on strike for a fair contract - and we can let them know America’s union members have their back.

Together, we can show that when workers speak up, bosses have to listen. #NoContractNoCoffee

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote.

"The last remaining member of the Gaza skate team.”

Rajab Al-Reefi the founder and head coach of the Gaza Skate Team, is the last member of the Gaza skateboarding collective. Israel has killed all the children.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

After his presser with Trump, Netanyahu posts a video in Hebrew telling Israelis the IDF won’t really leave Gaza, and if theres no deal (to put Trump in charge of ‘developing’ Gaza) they’ll continue the onslaught (an + starvation campaign with Trump’s support (and 🇺🇸 bombs/money)

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
