They will be called ICE Youth and when the historical parallels are pointed out they will act like it's insane to draw that comparison

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

Awesome! Congratulations to you all!

Vance Outlines U.S. Plan for Ukraine That Sharply Favors Russia (Gift Article) Vice President JD Vance said the cease-fire plan would freeze territory along the current front lines of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and that the U.S. would “walk away” if both parties did not agree.

A major feat of nature. Looks like jdv is both putin's mouthpiece and his asshole

CISA Puts Election Staff on Administrative Leave Read more here.

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

"Armored Tesla" forecast to win $400 million State Department contract after Trump's election, government document shows The State Department’s procurement forecast, revised as of late December 2024, lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to buy $400,000,000...

This is corruption on a scale unseen before in American history.

The “stop the hate” commercial featuring two celebrities who support the President who began his career by calling Mexicans rapists and whose biggest campaign donor recently gave a Hitler salute and rehired the “I was racist before it was cool” guy was….a choice.

Embracing the Woke What's so wrong with compassion, safety and racial justice?

On this Super Bowl Sunday, when the NFL kowtowed and dropped the plan to use “End Racism” as its end zone message, I’m sharing this on the meaning of “woke.” It asks: “How is compassion, empathy and care for racial and social justice not something to embrace?”

Here's a surprise. The orange one wants to evict all Palestinians from Gaza, no doubt so he and his toadies can build it into a US controlled colony full of lavish resorts for the upper crust.

Substack is going to keep on substacking unless writers move their newsletters elsewhere and we as readers stop reading people’s substack newsletters.

We all have a part to play in taking this fucking platform down and making sure independent journalism stops being laundered through a nazi bar.

Indeed.

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history Kansas public health officials say the state's ongoing tuberculosis outbreak is the largest since the CDC started reporting TB cases in the 1950s.

Trump has gagged the CDC, but not me. So I'm sharing this. www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

This would be a good start

'Truly Frightening': Top Historian on MAGA and Tech Bros' Unprecedented Alliance Heather Cox Richardson, of ‘Letters From an American’ fame, tells Mehdi what worries her most about this moment in US history - and what gives her hope.

“[Manifest Destiny] is... the idea of empowering individual White men to take over lands and take over the property of their neighbors.”

Trump’s Attacks On DEI Are a Green Light for the Government to Discriminate Under the guise of eliminating racial discrimination against white men, the Trump administration is launching a frontal assault on the country’s civil rights infrastructure.

As of this moment, the entire federal government is in violation of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment —not b/c the government has ended DEIA programs, but b/c the government is discriminating against employees and new hires based on the color of their skin.

If CBS settles this BS case, the money they pay Trump will pale in comparison to the drop in ratings they will experience.

definitely the feel-good story of the week

North Carolina’s Republican Justices signal support for overturning Democratic judge’s election Republicans in North Carolina are trying to resurrect Trump's 2020 playbook.

3 GOP justices on North Carolina Supreme Court express full support for overturning victory of Democrat Allison Riggs. This remains 5 alarm fire for democracy & should be getting far more national attention. It’s Trump 2020 playbook, but could actually succeed www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Johnson Brushes Off Threat of Arrest for Failing to Help Trump’s Mass Deportation Effort “We are not going to be intimidated by those acts of terror to radically shift our way of living,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said. “That’s what individuals who stoke fear into people want to see happen.”

Trump is perfectly poised to cash in on his presidency, Constitution be damned At the speed our courts operate, it's not clear he can be stopped.

Trump was in “clear violation of provisions intended to protect the public from corruption” during his first term, says @noahbookbinder.bsky.social. There were no consequences, no new guardrails. Is there any stopping the lawlessness? My latest for @motherjones.com

Trump's anti-transgender EO is misleading, hateful, and harmful #LGBTQPolitics
