“🇺🇸 agriculture is on the verge of widespread collapse… they’re asking for a rollback of virtually every policy Trump has introduced.”

As Republicans try to distance Trump policies from🧑‍🌾 farmer struggles, the truth is clear: www.facebook.com/share/v/17Up...

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

No, ICE isn’t ‘retreating.’ It’s loading up to invade your town. | Will Bunch A much-hyped ICE pullback from Minneapolis is a blip in a looming nationwide surge of arrests, concentration camps.

"There is no final victory, as there is no final defeat. There is just the same battle. To be fought, over and over again. So toughen up, bloody toughen up."
-- Tony Benn

"Eighty percent of Americans said voters have a responsibility to keep up with the news, but just 8% said they had a responsibility to pay for it." www.semafor.com/newsletter/0...

Posting about ICE on Instagram is now enough to get you an “administrative subpoena.” 👀

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Epstein's Little Black Book Exists. Where Is It? Someone went to prison for trying to fence it. Why has the Department of Justice refused to release it?

Epstein's little black book was seized in a sting operation in 2009, when his butler tried to sell it to an undercover FBI agent. Where is it?

Trump insider Tom Barrack kept in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, files show Tom Barrack, a top U.S. diplomat and longtime friend of President Trump, networked and socialized with Epstein for years, CBS News found.

Trump's longtime confidant Thomas Barrack, now serving as U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, was in regular, close contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, a CBS News analysis of over 100 texts and email exchanges shows.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

Thoughts on this:

it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric

JAGs Shouldn’t Be Civilian Prosecutors The mass deportation policy is a legal mess—and reassigning military lawyers to support it would only create more problems.

Using military lawyers to prosecute or adjudicate cases because civilian lawyers are resigning over ethical or legal concerns crosses a line. That is the kindest, most restrained way to put it. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3O5lJZa

Trump recently suggested that he is getting ready to issue a new anti-voting executive order. Last time he issued one, we sued and won. If he does it again, we will sue and win. Trump knows this. It is why he and his allies hate and attack me.

I will never back down or stop fighting for democracy.

wealth concentration is already 200% as bad at is was in 2020. think about that

This is wild.

41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.

He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.

Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

His pledge was, of course, gaslighting

What happened, under his leadership, is that:

“many types of health information that steadily flowed from the government for years or decades has been delayed, deleted & in some cases stopped all together”

This was part of his dismantling of public health 😢

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

"...what we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China."

This is a piece you need to read and share while we can.

What Is a Democrat For? Today’s Democrats could aspire just to return us to some pre-Trump “normal.” But for millions of Americans, that isn’t nearly good enough. The country needs a Democratic Party that seeks to create a new and far better “normal”—and that’s willing to fight the people standing in the way.

Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: “Nearly a year after we won, the same Israeli settler who attacked me after I returned from LA again led an attack against my family. 4 of my family members are currently arrested, one in the hospital… we call the police, they do nothing.”

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

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.

FDR’s Four Freedoms and the Second Bill of Rights The social welfare state, winning World War II, and building the liberal order after Trump.

“By law we can create an independent US Prosecution Service to replace the POTUS controlled DOJ and abolish and replace ICE and USBP. Reform the pardon power by law and term-limit and expand the size of SCOTUS. Make DC and Puerto Rico states, enfranchising millions of Americans."

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.

One thing I think abt a lot: Just imagine how well the economy would be doing if Trump hadn’t spent all of last year trashing the great economy he inherited? Tariffs, huge govt layoffs, slashing research/medical/science spending, torturing US cities with immigration raids. Economy would be humming!
