Chuck Westover

He's now pretty much screaming the quiet part out loud.

When someone shows you they are an authoritarian dictator, believe them the first time.

Really need everyone to take a good look at how well the richest people in America have done in the last year.

The rest of us got higher healthcare and electric bills, food assistance cuts, price hikes, and ICE terrorizing our communities.

What are we doing here?

One year after the Bakersfield raids of January 2025. Kern County is no stranger to struggle. Just like the Delano Grape Strike of the 1960s, our communities will not give up. Together we will continue the fight for justice and dignity. #WeFeedYou #ICEOut

"The man is a 79-year-old slurry of ego and greed who wouldn’t know impulse control if it bit him on the swollen cankles," writes columnist Rex Huppke.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

We’ll keep it short and sweet: Kevin Warsh is a disastrous choice to oversee monetary policy as Chair of the Federal Reserve.

"Trump is not going to be able to cancel U.S. elections. But the events this week in Fulton Co. remind us that he has many tools at his disposal to try to mess with them. It’s not too early to plan against another attempt to overturn democratically conducted elections."

While the president screams nonsense about a "Democrat hoax", one thing is for sure - more tax cuts for billionaires who don't need them and billions of dollars for ICE to terrorize our communities is not helping American families pay for education, housing or healthcare.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.

When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.

And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

Never forget how all of this happened - and remember in November.

Trump push for voter data ratchets up election interference concerns Democrats are voicing concerns the Trump administration could interfere in November's midterm elections as it seeks access to voter data across the country. Party leaders and election experts alike...

“There’s a real abuse of law enforcement power to claim that law enforcement power can be deployed and withdrawn in exchange for policy or other concessions,” said Wendy Weiser of the Brennan Center, pointing to Bondi’s letter.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Trump wants the data in order to rig the 2026 elections 👇

“These data can be manipulated to support false claims about ineligible voting and justify efforts to thwart free and fair elections,” Wendy Weiser said.

Fetterman’s calling for Kristi Noem to be fired:

A note of solidarity and resolve January 26, 2025 We are horrified, outraged, and so deeply saddened over the murder of Alex Pretti — a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse — by U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Cus...

"Alex Pretti's murder is the predictable result of unchecked federal force backed by congressional funding and political indifference. We cannot relent until federal forces have been withdrawn from our cities, and the agents and officials encouraging this violence have been held accountable."

A crew of 15 plus farm workers are hard at work in the Moss Landing CA area. They are pulling up weeds that can take nutrients from the strawberry plants. #WeFeedYou

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Another year at Davos has come and gone - and it was another year when the global elite avoided the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance.

@mplsunions.bsky.social President Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou is right: ICE is disrupting our workplaces and putting innocent working people in danger.

The labor movement’s guiding principle is solidarity. We’ll never be divided by this administration’s strategy of fear.
