Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

My god do we need UBI

“Researchers have found that when a new plasma center opens in a neighborhood, foot traffic at local grocery stores increases, interest in payday loans declines and crime goes down, an indication of the way money from plasma props up households’ finances for necessities.“

it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Two screenshots of news articles from oxnard and minneapolis showing ICE lying and charges dismissed against people who had themselves been victims of ICE violence.

THREAD. Every day new evidence emerges of ICE agents committing the *most serious violent crimes* in our criminal code and then *lying about it.* It's important to draw correct lessons from this, but anyone with sense is excluded from mainstream news.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

BREAKING: DOJ moves to drop criminal charges in alleged shovel/broom attack in Minneapolis that led ICE to open fire. "Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit," prosecutors say. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Every word of this is a lie. And any news organization that quotes this without saying as much is failing its audience.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

After assault allegations, DOJ walks back charges against ICE protesters Defense attorneys and former federal prosecutors say the U.S. Department of Justice’s public rhetoric about “Minnesota rioters” isn’t matching the evidence.

NJ Senator Andy Kim calls for her to be released immediately:

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

chart showing that fewer than 14% of ICE arrests are someone accused of violence.

THREAD. One of the great propaganda myths of our society is that police spend their time dealing with "violent crime." ICE is no different. "Violence" is a pretext to sell it. Did you know that only 4% of all police time in the U.S. is devoted to "violent crime"?

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

You definitely don’t need to show ID before you get on a train.

I’ve actually flown without a license before* and you can fly if you have some other proof that it’s your ticket (like a credit card) and get patted down.

FAA grounds all flights to and from El Paso until Feb. 20 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a temporary flight restriction halting all flights to and from El Paso, including commercial, cargo, and ge

Why did the FAA just close the airspace over El Paso for the next several days?

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

Four Haitian women found decapitated after alleged ICE abduction — families devastated Four Haitian women deported from Puerto Rico were found decapitated near the Dominican border, sparking speculations that ICE is working with cartels and gang members.

The US is deporting people back to certain death. There is blood on the hands of ICE.

My quick take after reading FBI's Fulton County affidavit: it's a bunch of discredited recycled BS peddled for years by election deniers and it's appalling that a judge signed off on a warrant for the raid based on the "evidence" presented here

FBI affidavit reveals new details about search of Fulton County elections office The new document revealed that the FBI's investigation was initiated following a referral from an attorney who worked to overturn the election results in 2020.

NEW: FBI seizure of 2020 ballots from Fulton County (Ga) was triggered by a referral from....... an attorney who worked to overturn the election results in 2020 for Trump.

Millions of Americans Don’t Have Documents Proving Their Citizenship Readily Available Requiring Americans to prove their citizenship to register to vote would exclude millions of citizens from the political process.

We've got the numbers: Last year we published (in partnership with the @brennancenter.org and @umd-cdce.bsky.social) survey results showing that some 21.3 million Americans could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act, which the House''ll vote on tomorrow.

Time to send this thing back to its grave.

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, monthslong expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.
