THE FIVE-ALARM FIRE: Conservatives Speak Out WHO IS TY COBB? a veteran white-collar attorney and former federal prosecutor who served as Trump’s lawyer in 2017. When a legal insider like Cobb calls current actions “authoritarian” and a “threat to democracy,” . . .

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”
A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

None of this is normal
I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Yasss. And I found out they had contracts with the federal government. Alas.
From the DOJ's attempts to access sensitive voter info to dismantling CISA and pardoning the people responsible for Jan. 6, the Trump administration's campaign to undermine elections is underway. But we can fight back. — @seanmorales-doyle.bsky.social in @nytopinion.nytimes.com
For any journalists/podcasters. I am a social historian that can speak to the white evangelical culture wars/political motives race/gender/immigration. I am also a professor of spiritual formation at a seminary. Happy to help. #journalists
I’ve been watching a lot of BBC lately to see how they’re covering the Epstein Files and former Prince Andrew, and it’s stunning the number of historians they have on these news shows, I really think US media could take a few notes.
Trump wants to deport hundreds of thousands of Haitian refugees. But many are caregivers keeping elderly and disabled Americans safe and cared for. New research suggests losing them could cost thousands of lives each year.
@citizencohn.bsky.social reports.
I suspect it has something to do with their numerous contracts with the federal government. bsky.app/profile/evan...
If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.
Somebody who knows more about this: talk to me about Gallup's decision to stop reporting on presidential approval ratings. Do you think they felt pressured by you know who's administration? The timing seems incredibly suspicious. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

There are bad things about social media; but also good. It is so encouraging to come on here and engage with thoughtful and sane people. It reminds us that we are not alone. We can find ways to help and encourage each other and to learn from one another. Thanks to all of you and much love!!!!
Did we ever figure out why drones were flying over DC, Maryland, and NJ last year?
NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.
BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned
NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?
