So It Begins: The Disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil and Authoritarian Capture The Trump Administration kidnapped a legal permanent resident and shuffled him through an authoritarian maze. We're witnessing the beginnings of something terrifying

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.

They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

Your door could be next.

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws.

Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

This is the first time in US history that a state has repealed statutory protections for a specific group.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Amazon's Whole Foods cites Trump's NLRB purge as grounds for rejecting union win Last month, workers at a Whole Foods store in Philadelphia voted in favor of joining the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia.

Looks like Jeff Bezos' investment in Trump is paying off.

I have had debilitating migraines my whole life and I finally found something that works. It's called Ubrelvy or Nurtec. Scientists discovered that a protein called CGRP is linked to migraines. This medication blocks the protein activity. It works for me every time and for my Mom too!

Yeah, no. When you slaughter 45,000 civilians of the same nation and ethnic group, most of whom are women and children, that's Genocide. I realize It's futile to argue with people like you who are ok with bombing schools and hospitals. But just so you know, that makes you a bad person. K, thx, bye!

Feds Open Antisemitism Investigation of Portland State University

Wow, this is just. Wow.

First of all, Jewish activists have been literally leading the movement to end the Genocide in Gaza. Saying that supporting Palestinians amounts to antisemitism is totally asinine.

Secondly, anyone who thinks Trump gives a shit about anti-semitism is lying to themselves.

There's a small chance an asteroid could hit Earth within the next decade, says NASA A large asteroid could be heading toward Earth within the next decade, and there's a small chance it could strike the planet, according to NASA.

Finally some good news.

It's probably a good time to go ahead and force all those federal NASA Employees to resign what with their "science" and "competence".
Then get a bunch of totally random and unqualified lackies to replace them.

Thank you for calling this out.
Why should we care about any elected official's prospects of getting re-elected if they aren't going to take a stand on the things that matter now?
We need to stop supporting democrats who lack courage and sell out their base at the earliest possible opportunity.
