US Steel golden share? Class G shares?? No! It’s worse than that, it’s a personal power granted to 🍊🤡👑!!
From US Steel’s amended certificate:
This war looks like it should end up being called the “Bullshitzkrieg,” because at this point, it pretty much seems to have been performative on all sides, especially on Trump’s. We should be grateful for that, but … WTAF.

Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants.
He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.
A day after one assassination and a second assassination attempt in Minnesota Trump makes clear his intention to target cities with Democratic majorities and why.
The violence is a feature, not a bug.

19. I cannot overstate how distressing this entire experience has been. The past week has been the worst of my life, and I find myself without my single greatest source of support, in my time of greatest need. 20. I am currently in my thirty-third week of pregnancy, and I am due to give birth to Mahmoud and I's first child on April 28th, 2025. We are expecting a son. The thought that Mahmoud may miss the birth of our son is devastating. 21. I am not exaggerating when I say that I would not have been able to get through my pregnancy without Mahmoud. At this stage of my pregnancy, I have biweekly appointments with my doctor scheduled. In just three weeks, those appointments will increase in frequency, becoming weekly appointments. Prior to his detention, Mahmoud attended almost every doctor's appointment with me. He cooks every meal for us, he cleans the house, he does our laundry and takes care of every need that we have as a household. 22. Mahmoud has been invaluable to me in helping me cope with the physical and mental impact of my pregnancy. Early on in my pregnancy, my doctor found indication that I might require a regimen to preempt preeclampsia, a very serious condition that can cause major complications for a pregnant person and their baby. I was prescribed two baby aspirin per day, and I am still supposed to be taking that medication. I forget to take medication, and Mahmoud reminded me to take the medication every night, getting it for me before bed. Since the agents took him away, I haven't been able to sleep well or focus and am afraid that I have forgotten to take that medication. 23. Just last month, on February 2, 2025, I had to be admitted to the hospital because I had not felt our baby in my stomach for a full day. I spent approximately four hours at the hospital, and Mahmoud supported me through the distress of being unable to feel our baby's movement in (page ends here)

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens.
How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Trump is the consequence rather than the cause of the anti-democratic surge.
Here's how the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision — issued 15 years ago today — overwhelmed our political system with money and brought us to our current moment.
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
