Authorities are tracking online criticism and demonstrations against the immigration crackdown in New Orleans, monitoring message boards for threats while compiling updates on public “sentiment” surrounding the arrests, according to law enforcement records reviewed by The Associated Press.

How has the Electoral College survived, despite being perennially unpopular? Despite its substantial-sounding name, the Electoral College isn’t a permanent body: It’s more of a process. For decades, a majority of Americans have wanted it to be changed.

The electoral college is unnecessary for a democracy. In fact we're the only democracy that has one. No more insanity of gerrymandering.

One vote per person. That's all. 👍👍👍

Woman forcefully detained in Keys was driving ‘illegal’ boyfriend’s car, feds say The woman in medical scrubs, who was a U.S. citizen, was yanked from her car and wrestled to the ground by federal immigration agents in a Key Largo traffic stop Wednesday before she was released.

"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'I’m a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?'

She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work."

Pregnant immigrants held for months in detention despite rules against it With the immigration crackdown, more pregnant women are being detained. The ACLU alleges a woman was shackled while miscarrying and others were denied prenatal care.

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.

They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

I'm not sure if this scammer deleted their account or is just blocking me. They solicited money as if they are me. Please report and beware.

Brandy Zadrozny calls CDC panel decision on newborn vaccinations 'death by 1,000 cuts' In a controversial decision, a CDC advisory panel voted against recommending Hepatitis B vaccines for many newborns. “A lot of people used to die before they were five years old,” warns MS NOW senior reporter Brandy Zadrozny. Childhood deaths have decreased significantly over decades, “because we have found the beauty and the miracle of vaccines.”

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

"The danger is once you compile all this information, then hackers only have to go to one place instead of going to all 50-plus jurisdictions that run elections... It’s a hacker’s dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere..."

A fair question. 😕🇺🇸

Home Care Workers Are Losing Minimum Wage Protections — and Fighting Back Three million care workers, many of them Black and Latina women, could be classified as “companions” instead of professionals.

Denise Lugo has been a home care worker supporting aging adults and people with disabilities in North Carolina for over 30 years.

Now, the Labor Department wants to strip her and millions of other caregivers of minimum wage and overtime protections that could wreak havoc on their livelihoods.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.
