Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever Days before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that 10,000 HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

Petabytes of critical government research that is marked for possible deletion cannot be archived because of technical and legal restrictions, meaning it is very likely to be lost forever:

Koh: I think if this is a president who really wanted to empower workers, he wouldn't have just stripped 700,000 people of their collective bargaining rights..

CNBC is calling it the Tesla Chain Saw Massacre.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

An important point to keep in mind.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Go ahead.

Let the people see you for what you are.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.

“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

it says a lot about an industry if a free and open source alternative to every product on the market can destroy 1 trillion dollars of “value” in one day lol

Mexico pre-US invasion.

Mexico didn't cross the border, the border crossed them.

The Tech Bros Lost One TRILLION Dollars Today SMITE!

SMITE!

The only minority group destroying America are billionaires.

Universally, reactionaries will pretend that:
(1) we tried progressive policy
(2) it failed
(3) that is why everything sucks now.

In reality, we have rarely if every tried progressive policy for long enough to let it fail, and things suck because of that! Applies to #metoo, blm, drug reform, etc

DoJ releases its Tulsa race massacre report over 100 years after initial review DoJ report acknowledges attack ‘was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence’

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

i keep thinking about what it was like to be 22 and playing halo with friends in a grimy frat house and then adding in “what if a guy worth 100s of billions and in his 50s was on speakerphone pretending to be 24 and flopping badly at it while we make fun of him” and it’s breaking my brain

The way for Democrats to rebuild is to talk and engage with people who disagree with us in spaces that may be uncomfortable. A clash of ideas can spark the interest of those in harder to reach information silos & it shows the kind of strength & independence Americans respect.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

If I had to express my deep sense of dislocation about this political moment and the national mood, I’d put it this way: I feel like the murder of a healthcare CEO probably has wider support than *actual* single payer healthcare.
