“We’ll Smash the Fucking Window Out and Drag Him Out” We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “mini...

Trump was asked by 60 Minutes about immigration agents using aggresive"H tactics like busting people's windows.

"Have those tactics gone too far?"

"No", Trump said, "I think they haven't gone far enough."

This is what that looks like in the real world.

Did U.S. Cover Up Shireen Abu Akleh Killing? Whistleblower Speaks Out A retired U.S. colonel who investigated the death of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh has gone public to accuse the Biden administration of “inaction” and a possible “cover-up.” Steve...

A report into the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh was watered down by the Biden administration, says one of the U.S. investigators, in service of "not trying to anger the Israelis by holding them accountable for intentionally killing an American citizen."

Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

Citing a Trump order about “restoring biological truth,” the VA is making it more difficult for male veterans with breast cancer to get their care covered by the government.

The disease is deadlier than for women and “notably higher among veterans,” research shows.

What a joke, beyond stupid talking heads.

Here’s How the AI Crash Happens The U.S. is becoming an Nvidia-state.

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

They literally ruin everything they touch

Truth. And it bears repeating: ICE is killing people!!

This is what an elite upbringing, and a billion dollars in wealth, gets ya. . .smh.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

Fox News, all propaganda, all the time.

I have to lovingly disagree here. These acts of community defense are direct action, which is a fundamental form of protest. Community defense is direct action, and direct action is protest.

Here Are 4 Disturbing Ways Trump Could Try to Hold Onto Power Beyond 2028 Trump said this week he won't run for an unconstitutional third term, after previously suggesting he might. Steve Bannon says Trump definitely will. Who should we believe? What plans are they making?

"Here Are 4 Disturbing Ways Trump Could Try to Hold Onto Power Beyond 2028"

Trump said this week he won't run for an unconstitutional third term, after previously suggesting he might. Steve Bannon says Trump definitely will. Who should we believe?

Lawsuit Alleges 'Horrific And Inhumane' Conditions At Broadview ICE Facility The federal lawsuit says detained people are being denied water, food, medical care and hygiene: "They treated us like animals, or worse than animals, because no one treats their pets like that."

“They treated us like animals, or worse than animals, because no one treats their pets like that.”

HERO, you are not alone.

Heritage president backs Tucker Carlson after interview with Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes Kevin Roberts denounced the “venomous coalition” that has criticized the former Fox News host.

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis.

Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

"When history is written as it ought to be written, it is the moderation and long patience of the masses at which men will wonder, not their ferocity." - CLR James, "The Black Jacobins"

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

Donald Trump is pursuing a third presidential term the right way.

'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence in a way that goes beyond any conflict abroad, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again.
