THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard.
This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

A detainee revolt over poor conditions at a controversial ICE facility morphed into a jailbreak: 50 detainees were able to push down an outer wall, with four remaining unaccounted.

Outside, supporters blocked the gate to prevent more ICE officers from entering.

Reporters need to get off Elon's Twitter Inside the Machine for Fascism, you can't even see that Biden won the 2020 election.

We see regularly scheduled articles about why Bluesky is bad.

But what about the obvious point that Twitter is Elon's Machine for Fascism and it's breaking reporters' brains?

I decided to write it.

Congress’s bill β€œwould RAISE taxes for low-income Americans (Those making $30k or less). Every other income group would see LOWER taxes. The biggest savings would go to people in the $500k to $1 million income group.”

John Rowland was convicted of public corruption over 20 years ago, was prosecuted under a Republican run DOJ, and wasnt present at Jan 6. How does his pardon track with this reasoning?

Einstein (and many other intellectuals) came to America because of this. The Hitler regime pushed them out and they fled to the USA in order not to perish.

This is a shame.

States, Cities Face Funding Collapse Threat with Trump Cuts Officials are confronting deep uncertainty about funding for programs that undergird their economies β€” just as Trump’s trade war has raised fears of a recession.

".. The US in February made just $4.3 billion in new, binding funding commitments to state and local governments, a 57.5% decline from the same month a year earlier .."

Trump promised no new business deals with foreign governments. He lied. His family's real estate deals put the president in direct conflict with the Constitution.

Without Congress's consent, our Constitution says, no federal officeholder can accept β€œany present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” These deals seem to put Trump in direct violation of that clause.
