Democrats in four states seek to bar ICE employees from future civil service jobs Bills aim to make ICE employees ineligible for jobs in law enforcement, public education and state civil service

Legislation in four states targets ICE employees, seeking to block their future roles in law enforcement and public service. This bold move challenges oppressive practices and aims to dismantle systems that perpetuate injustice.

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

TrumpCare.

"This was the most openly racist State of the Union in modern history, where President Trump spent protracted portions of the nationally televised address spewing his hatred of Somali Americans with all the dignity and panache of banned 4chan content." @zeteo.com

ICE Whistleblower Testimony (Part 2):

Cadets graduate no matter how many laws they break or mistakes they make.

Now unqualified agents with badges & guns are on our streets.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Silicon Valley’s Favorite Doomsaying Philosopher Nick Land believes that digital superintelligence is going to kill us all. In San Francisco, his followers ask: What if, instead of trying to stop an A.I. takeover, you work to bring it on as fast as ...

"While real-world infrastructure is left to rot, A.I. build-out floats the economy, accounting, as of 2025, for almost forty per cent of U.S. G.D.P. growth...the fantasies that powered the online right during the mid-twenty-tens have become official policy" www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Pressure Is Not Just in Your Head As Olympic athletes know well, stress has actual physical properties.
