This week has been a lot. It’s overwhelming.

But what is in those files the DOJ released today is a scandal of monumental proportions. People fear that it is β€œtoo big to fail.” Maybe.
But Congress must act.

Yes! we need all the files. But what has been released is already a four-alarm fire.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.

It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Today is a concerning day for a bunch of reasons, but I am distinctly aware that Trump's posts have mostly been about the ball room and Canada. I think it's pretty clear he isn't even really paying attention to Minneapolis, and it's basically entirely president Miller.

ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees β€” including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments.

Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions.

Cruelty on steroids.

"You're asking me about something that the president just said... He's never going to implement it... We should talk instead about what he's doing... Every time we get distracted by what he talks about rather than what he does... he destroys and he redistributes to the rich."

I think it's a wonderful piece of karma that Cassidy got stabbed in the back.

Shame about the shit RFK is doing in the meantime.

Cassidy sentenced countless children to death, knowingly, by confirming RFK

and Trump stabs him in the back anyway

I hope it eats at him every miserable day of the rest of his life

As a teacher I used to joke that I could get so much more done if there were no children to teach. A JOKE. But it increasingly feels that businesses have forgotten they’re selling to *humans*. If they stop appealing to humans, they can be as efficient as they like – they still won’t have a business.

Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Republicans Block Effort to Check Trump’s Power in Venezuela

The entirety of the GOP is complicit in Trump's authoritarian march. The party must be defeated and resisted at every level.

Everything going on in Minneapolis is horrific and there need to be trials and people going to prison when we can get ahold of it.

But I would also note that it is kind of a demonstration of how stretched thin the feds are that -one- moderately sized urban area requires this level of resource.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.
