Trump abolishes the Second Amendment

It’s bad enough that we’re subsidizing extremely profitable sports teams with our tax dollars to build stadiums, but we’re letting them charge us $17 dollars for a beer and $11 dollars for a damn hotdog at the concession stand?

Enough. Here’s one thing we can do about it.

'My own government attempted to execute me,' Chicago woman shot by Border Patrol testifies Marimar Martinez said she believes that she survived her encounter with Border Patrol agents so she could share her story.

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs

1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--"

The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

Excellent news.

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Anti-woke, worse—a lot worse, tbh—than woke.

“The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a ‘racist.’”

A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to “capture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

So weird how this keeps happening.

First, They Came for Your Elections. Then, Your Guns.

The Republicans won’t allow it to be televised. That way they can spin it anyway they want.

Yes, please!

Donald Trump didn't break the political system on his own.

Our broken political system is why we have Trump.

On January 3, 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, guaranteeing the right to vote regardless of race.

However, the guarantee would not be fully realized until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

Opinion | Let the Arms Race Begin

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Staggering evidence trove shows who put Trump in the White House — and controls him still

Yes, who wrote this email to Jeffrey Epstein — and why did DOJ redact his name?

What We Saw in Minneapolis

WATCH — @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social’s daughter: “This goes against her first amendment rights as a journalist… this doesn’t just affect me, it affects my little sisters. My father woke up today without his wife. I’m demanding my mom gets released.”

Melania & Ghilaisne appear to have been on shorthand name basis—

Melania: “G!”
Ghislaine: “Sweet Pea”

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg. The text says that in a country that amended its Constitution to ban alcohol and later reversed it, the U.S. could also pass an amendment clarifying that corporations are not people and money is not speech. Below the text is a photo of Buttigieg standing on a stage holding a microphone, speaking to an audience seated behind him.

Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.
