Gather 'round kids:
In 1988 we had no emojis 🫣. No video clips.
Even Gifs were scarce. So we did what we

This story is bizarre

Defendant is a serial rapist who turned his position as a United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) officer into a license to commit or attempt to commit gunpoint sexual assaults and robberies of four different women. All of the victims were of Chinese descent, and they all occurred in the Chicago suburbs. As described in the indictment, on six separate occasions throughout 2022, defendant forced his way into a hotel room where the victims were staying, and either robbed or attempted to sexually assault the victims, or both. At the time, defendant was employed as a CBP officer, primarily assigned to O’Hare Airport. Defendant used his service weapon, badge or credentials, as well as the power of his position, to force the victims to perform oral sex, to submit to vaginal sex, or to provide him with cash. One of the victims, Victim B, was attacked on three separate occasions by defendant.

NEW: The DOJ calls a former CBP agent a “serial rapist” in their memorandum to the court. He used his service weapon to sexually assault women.

The rank bigotry of today’s nativism is striking, but the utter stupidity of today’s nativism is almost as impressive.

In 22 days, 22 million Americans will lose their ability to afford care.

For 15 years, House Republicans have been undercutting the ACA.

But @housedemocrats.bsky.social have a plan.

We just need 4 Republicans to join us to extend the credits and save health care for millions.

A Fox Business split-screen. On the left is Larry Kudlow; on the right Brooke Rollins, saying egg prices and other costs are down and that a “golden age” is around the corner. Rollins gestures while speaking.

“Everything” is not coming down in price. It’s almost all going up. The Golden Age isn't “right around the corner” any more than a healthcare plan is. Stop gaslighting the American people.

I've been teaching the Canterbury Tales, focusing on social disparity, for years. The parallels between the Dark Ages and NOW are wretched. The powerful didn't give a shit about the suffering of others in 1400, and they give less of one in 2025. Difference is: WE know better.

This is exactly what the bosses who put Trump into office were trying to achieve. Crushing the tight labor market from the early Biden years that gave workers - for the first time in my adult lifetime - leverage over their bosses.

A graph of US Job Openings & Labor Turnover Data

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.
