It's me, heyyyy👋

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Two notes: Miller seems to be running all areas of policy out of the WH, rather than, say, the President, and:

Other people around the WH are leaking about him.

Big deal

120 million acres of public lands eligible for sale in SENR budget reconciliation package The bill mandates disposal of over 2 million acres of BLM and National Forest lands; public lands eligible for sale in the bill encompass over 120 million acres, including local recreation areas, wild...

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input.

We’re here to keep the peace — not play into Trump’s political games.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline.

Why it matters:
This guts judicial review, a cornerstone of U.S. democracy. Courts are the only check on executive overreach. This section erases that check for some of the most destructive decisions the government can make.

What it means:
- If the government approves drilling, mining, or development, even illegally, you can’t sue.
- It applies retroactively, killing lawsuits already in progress.
- Tribes, environmental groups, citizens, even states, lose the right to challenge these approvals in court.

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

An Open Letter to American Law Enforcement Officers By Michael Fanone Like so many of you, I was profoundly influenced by the September 11, 2001, attack on our country by foreign terrorists.

An open letter to law enforcement from my friend Mike Fanone;

Pedro Pascal at Cannes speaks on America's political chaos: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don't let them win."

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Trump's corruption is way, way, way worse than you think.

Listen up to @profgalloway.com here.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

The First Amendment of USA:

Supreme Court allows Trump ban on transgender members of the military to take effect, for now The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump’s administration to enforce a ban on transgender people in the military, while legal challenges proceed.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

A Horrible Truth That Shouldn’t Be….

"Good luck to the Great people of Canada. Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America. No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!"

complete batshit insanity

New Group Aims To Dismantle Red State Bureaucracies The State Leadership Initiative is a coalition-building organization aimed at ensuring 'red states' operate in GOP voters' best interests.

New pro-Trump group, the State Leadership Initiative (SLI), is “writing the blueprint for dismantling bureaucracy in every red state.” Nate Fischer—a founder of New Founding, which is backed by DOGE advisor Marc Andreessen—is an SLI co-founder. The board includes Heritage president Kevin Roberts. 1/

Democrats Need ‘Imperfect Allies’ A conversation with Sarah McBride

“We have to create space for some imperfect allies,” Representative Sarah McBride tells Hanna Rosin. “We can’t dismiss them as bigots or remove them from our coalition, because then we will have a ceiling of 30 percent on any coalition and defense of anyone’s rights.”

Really feel like we all have to talk more explicitly and repeatedly about Stephen Miller as the actual Shadow President because that is what he is, he is almost certainly running the vast majority of day-to-day stuff and is responsible for much of the worst of it
