I am not trying to do the whole "everything's a distraction" thing, but the DOJ holding onto specific allegations about Trump assaulting a minor and releasing them after a war against Iran has taken center stage is, uh... noteworthy timing.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Amazon's tax bill fell by 87% even though its profits rose by 45%.

Shoveling more money to the richest people and richest corporations at the same time so many people will be losing health care access

'A Big F*ck You to Big Tech': New Jersey Residents Defeat AI Data Center | Common Dreams "It's time to build communities, not data centers," said one local activist.

New Brunswick, NJ just canceled plans for a colossal AI data center after massive pushback from the community.

That's a huge win for people power.

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ utilities AND draining state resources — while enriching Big Tech CEOs.

Mr. Rascon's and his family's experience with ICE is heartbreaking.

This is exactly why we have to abolish the agency, prosecute lawless agents, impeach Kristi Noem, and build a system that strengthens our communities instead of tearing them apart.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

DHS seeking to deport two men who said fellow ICE detainee was killed The two men’s eyewitness accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp differ from the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident.

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.

The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.

This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.
