Here at the soft opening of Dave & Buster’s. The Plaza is in my district so I try to support the work they are doing to improve the mall. They actually open to the public on Monday but there are a lot of folks here anyway. It’s an arcade but kind of for people of all ages. Very impressive.
Democrats underestimate this at their own peril, and at the expense of every American.
32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.
Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.
Cashing in on cruelty.
Let’s be clear: When it comes to Venezuela’s giant oil reserves, America’s oil companies will be making money for themselves. During the 2024 campaign they made a deal with Trump on which they’re still cashing in.
Everything is for sale.
Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X summarizing comments by Representative Dan Goldman. The post states that Goldman criticized the justification for pursuing Nicolás Maduro on drug trafficking charges, calling it bogus and noting that the Honduran president was recently pardoned for similar offenses. Below the text is a television news still from MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki. Dan Goldman appears on screen in a studio or remote setup, wearing a dark jacket and light shirt, speaking directly to the camera. A nighttime city skyline with illuminated buildings is visible behind him. On-screen graphics include a red “Breaking News” banner reading “Maduro arrives in NY to face drugs and weapons charges,” along with Goldman’s name, title, and MSNBC branding.
The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.
NIH funded this work—reflecting a surge in Alzheimer’s funding over the last 10-12 years. NIH is the primary funder for AD research.
NEWS: Ro Khanna tells us *50 Republicans* may be set to join him, Thomas Massie, and Democrats in voting to release the Epstein files.
Perhaps explains why Trump is now spinning out of control, attacking Republicans like Massie and MTG who are joining Democrats in responding to the public demand.
BREAKING: Federal Judge Immergut in Portland rules Trump admin CANNOT deploy National Guard to Oregon. Grants state & city a PERMANENT injunction, barring troops indefinitely.
Trump's mass deportations aren't just pointlessly cruel.
His own Labor Department is now warning they are "threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices" for Americans.
We should be offering the people who feed us a path out of the shadows — not demonizing them.
I’m a U.S. citizen who was wrongly arrested and held by ICE. Here’s why you could be next.

These people are so intent on helping their lizard leader cheat. They are openly cheating in order to win an election. Meanwhile ignoring the flood victims. So petty. So selfish. 😡
So pathetic.
We are not afraid of you, Donald Trump, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man.
We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear, because that would mean respecting you, and we do not.

But what this tells us is that as usual trump had no plan and is just using these troops because he can. He doesn’t give a damn about them any more than the people he is rounding up.
A lot happening quickly in LA. Just reported in the Chronicle that the troops that have been deployed are not being taken care of either. No food, water, supplies or equipment. They are sleeping on the floor. I know reports are that the people being detained are being treated the same.
I’m here at the California State Democratic Convention in Anaheim. Just heard Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota. He was fantastic. Now at the Chicano/Latino Caucus.
Listening to all the proposed cuts from the big horrible bill I feel the only thing that matters to the GOP are the ultra rich & privileged they could care less about what happens to the rest of us.
Katie Phang exposes Trump and Emil Bove's quid pro quo scheme: Bove wrote the memo to have the prosecution of NYC Mayor Eric Adams dropped in exchange for a seat as a federal appeals court judge.

Pause the cuts. Cut administration, invest in community engagement through out the state, look at the demographics and market to grow. I can’t believe SSU is cutting modern languages especially Spanish. Who is making these hideous decisions? I am appalled. This is unacceptable.😡
Admin is still digging in their heels. Not listening to the legislators.
Really disappointed in @msnbc.com. Why do you keep bad shows like Morning Joe & fire wonderful people like Joy Reid? We see you getting rid of POC. Terrible decision. 😡
So I’m here at Santa Rosa City Schools Board of Trustees meeting. The issue is whether the board will vote to close Elsie Allen. The only high school in Southwest Santa Rosa. I feel strongly the board should not close any high schools. They need to go back to the drawing board

Finally deactivated my account on X. I stayed on for some of my followers & news sites but cannot tolerate Musk & his hatred and lies anymore. Took a long time to build my page but I’m okay with starting over.🙂
You think us Teachers will give up or students to ICE? We practice monthly hiding our children from bad guys. Try us.
Bishop Mariann Budde, who is wearing red, white and black vestments, speaks from a lectern within an ornate pulpit adorned with red and white flowers. Headline reads: "The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: 'Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?'" Photo credit: Doug Mills/The New York Times.
“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”
So, she took a breath, and spoke. nyti.ms/3WtmNY2
Been looking, like a lot of people, for an alternative to Twitter. I like BlueSky so far
