This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud:

“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”

And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

I can’t qWHITE figure out what’s wrong here.

We may not know who needs these resources, so let's share as widely as possible.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

Trump Says He Will Not Seek Authorization for Cartel Strikes

What is the Times doing calling this extrajudicial murder spree “cartel strikes”? On what evidence do they ape the killers’ propaganda?

Take it from us -- an organization that closely studies all the horrific ways people can die from common household items -- have the jelly donut.

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff

Block, move on.

Recall that Trump's father was the child of immigrants, and that his mother and two of his wives were immigrants.

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

Rolling Stone excerpt about Montana’s ballot initiative to combat Citizens United

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

So yes. Just got reminded of this. It's not a long story, and not a particularly beginning-middle-end one, but I've been chewing on the encounter since it happened. Here goes...

The Kavanaugh Stop is now happening.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

If you haven't already, please call your local TV stations and ask them to send a crew to the protests near you this Saturday. Don't let them pretend they didn't know this time.

Tell them you'll be watching for the coverage.

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

COMMENTARY: Sixteen years after the Balloon Boy hoax, I'm nostalgic for those simpler lies and real consequences for the liars

Some people got upset with me a few days ago for saying I thought Machado and Trump were working together toward regime change in Venezuela, and now there are B-52 bombers in the sky off the coast of the country and the CIA engaging in covert ops within it.

If you’re voting in Weld County CO be sure to do your research on the school board elections. I found one candidate that was endorsed by Moms for Liberty. Feel free to Google.

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

Informational flyer about Rogers Park Whistle Protocols, explaining how to use whistles to alert neighbors of emergencies, with color-coded alerts, steps for use, and encouragement to form a crowd and stay loud for safety.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

8. The second thing I want to say about that putz is about the character of a man who goes on live TV to goad an old, demented president into imposing martial law. (Miller seems to believe if he says “insurrection” on TV enough times, something in the mad monarch’s head will finally click.)
