They assaulted and injured a person, damaged a car, and then left. That’s not legal‼️

Listening to Trump Admin officials, you'd never guess that the US stock market underperformed the rest of the world in 2025.

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

β€œResearchers 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.β€œ

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Senator Calls to Abolish ICE, Says Voting to Fund DHS Supports β€œMurder” β€œAnyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans,” said Sen. Ed Markey.

Sen. Markey has been calling to abolish ICE since late January

β€œRight now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. . . We can stop this. Not one penny more for the Department of Homeland Security.”

9/ WTF?! 27 states have already agreed to use the SAVE systemβ€”which links to an SSA database mishandled by DOGEβ€” to purge their voter rolls. (So the security of the 2026 election will be compromised even if the Save Anerica Act doesn’t pass.) www.texastribune.org/2026/02/13/s...)

Barack Obama almost never jumps into the chaos. The fact that he’s speaking out now β€” repeatedly and urgently β€” is a warning. Something is deeply wrong. America needs to listen.

There are very few things I believe more strongly than this:

If you orient your politics around things that you know are not true, or don’t care if are true, whether because it sounds good, or you think it’ll impress people, or any other reason, you are planting the seeds of your own destruction.

This is wild.

41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.

He β€œresigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.

Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

Given DOGE’s f#ckery at SSA, I am not thrilled that the β€œSAVE America Act” aims to compel states to purge voters via SSA’s Number Verification system & DHS’s SAVE program, which accesses the SSA system. I wish some election security experts would look at this & talk me down. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course β€œrace” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word β€œculture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

The U.S. State Department has ordered nonprofit libraries to stop processing passport applications.

It's almost like they don't want us to be able to vote under the new voter-ID laws they're pushing. πŸ€”

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

Trump’s Minnesota Retreat Points to the Power of Public Anger

Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government.

This is a way to disenfranchise the poor.
