Read this sentence slowly:

“Gov. Gavin Newsom, crypto executives and business leaders are ramping up efforts this week to stop the proposed wealth tax...”

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal.

For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

Opposition to President Trump’s policies abroad and at home has followed the U.S. Olympic team to Italy, forcing athletes, coaches and American fans to respond to — or sidestep — the backlash. trib.al/sKjBCfN

No surprise that the Trump administration is currently using Mike Tyson, who was not only convicted of rape but also defended by Epstein’s lawyer, as a symbol of health and masculinity. It’s the rape administration.

Hmmm 🤔👀

Bakaj: Intelligence was gathered that captured activity being conducted by someone close to the president. Gabbard was given a heads-up.

She went to Susie Wiles and discussed it.

When she returned to the DNI’s office, she directed that the intelligence not be distributed any further…

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Tell Congress: Defund ICE if reforms are not met Contact Congress today!

Tell your representatives right now: NO MORE FUNDING FOR ICE!

"Epstein was at the center of how the elites operate and the public knows this... this sense that people that we have two-tier justice."

A fascinating conversation with the FT's US editor Ed Luce on all things Epstein - from Trump to Musk to Blair.

Border Patrol boss Gregory Bovino tossed from Las Vegas bar Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino was reportedly asked to leave a Las Vegas bar out of safety concerns for the venue’s customers.

Tiny Pants tossed from bar.
Don't let them rest.
Don't let them eat.
Make them quit.

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Tom Morello live in Minneapolis

CNN: Are you okay?

Omar :I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

getting very boring to say “imperial boomerang” but. well.

Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin?

Leavitt: This incident remains under investigation.

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE? According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Data from ICE shows that none of its agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.

"My poll numbers have never been hotter!"

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Uhhh anyone who believes ICE just needs a few small repairs is delusional. Real justice demands dismantling ICE/DHS, especially the universal surveillance machine, shutting down all "detention" (torture camps) centers, and arresting and prosecuting pretty much everyone.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren We have the power to stop ICE from terrorizing communities and putting lives at risk.

It’s time for the Senate to step up.

Fuck anti-trans Emanuel, alt-right podcast Newsom, pro-genocide Shapiro, and snowplow the homeless Buttigieg. I'd vote for Bernie if he ran again. Or Dems like AOC, RoKhanna, hell even Warren, who are the only ones doing ANYTHING. There isn't much of any real leadership in the Dem party right now.🤦

I'm just thinking this morning about how Gavin Newsom, who wants to be the 2028 Democratic nominee, recently platformed Ben Shapiro, who blamed Trayvon Martin for his own murder.

Fuck that alt-right podcast capitulating coward Newsom and his anti-trans views. I'd sooner for his social media fluffer/handler, since Newsom has no real convictions.

Fuck Newsom. His social media handlers should step down since Newsom doesn't even believe in anything they post on his behalf. I'd vote for Bernie, but would he run again? Seems unlikely. And the only Dems doing anything are AOC, RoKhanna & Warren.🤷 Someone with a spine needs to start leading asap!

Gavin Newsom sucks and Democrats should not even be thinking about him for 2028
