DURBIN'S NOT EVEN RUNNING AGAIN, the gutless fuck.

I’m a firm believer in taxes funding a well-functioning govt.

Paying taxes that are properly allocated is good.

Cut them out & give to the needy.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

What would a privatized air traffic controller network look like in the US? Will it be Peter Thiel or Elon Musk who fleece the airlines and give priority to airlines that bribe them? Who’s gonna be flying on those planes if everyday people can’t due to the prohibitive cost? How is reducing your

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

If you're wondering why capital keeps burning cash on such a worthless asset it's because its promised them the ability to fire their entire workforce and even though it can't deliver it yet the allure is too strong to stop now

Sam Altman is just Elizabeth Holmes with a better marketing department.

They're trying to gut LIHEAP for the same reasons! When I was in recovery and physically couldn't work for months, LIHEAP literally kept me from freezing to death in my place in South Philly. These programs work and save peoples lives, and that doesn't line up with the pro eugenics crowd

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

A reminder that if you are called to be part of a jury in a political prosecution you have a right to refuse to convict on the grounds the prosecution is unjust. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

New fine for drivers who get in the way of bike riders in Montgomery Co. - WTOP News Drivers who block bicycle lanes in Maryland’s Montgomery County face a new fine.

Well, this is good news. I hope more cities & counties will follow suit.
