What’s one way we can rein in ICE?
We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.
Watch.
CBS is Trump TV. Less than two months after CBS News suddenly pulled a report on the regime’s prison camps, CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert that he couldn’t air an interview with a Texas Democratic candidate.
This is what complicity looks like.

A good measure of how crazy things have gotten is if you pretend we’re in a Star Wars movie and then imagine how long the opening crawl would have to be for an audience of people from 4 weeks ago to be caught up
Since September, ICE has opened fire on people 9 times across 5 states. At least 5 people are dead, including 2 Americans in Minneapolis.
Republicans have completely abandoned veterans.
Total abandonment.
Do not let them ever claim to be patriots again.

The Social Security website is crashing multiple times a week.
Elon Musk's henchmen think it's a perfect time to fire half the IT team.
Trump is a damn child. He didn’t consult with economists. His imbecilic, retaliatory tariffs are hurting every American.
Congressional Republicans can stop him and reverse his stupid, dangerous, economy destroying policies at any time.

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.
Elon Musk has called for Amtrak and the Postal Service to be privatized.
Be warned: this is a call to gut essential public services to pad corporate profits.
Here are my 5 rules of thumb for when public services should NOT be privatized.
Former SSA Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social: It's interesting to me that the people that are going after waste, fraud, and abuse would do away first with the division, whose job it was to guard against improper payments, waste fraud and abuse... This is totally irresponsible.

-Disdain of women and LGBTQ+ people
These five elements find exact expression in Donald Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XTJNy_OrjE
"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."
Where should we be giving our political dollars right now? 💰 [spoiler alert: not to the Dem establishment.]
I’ve got two great recs pinned below.
Trump's "golden age of America" so far...

Joy on our crisis of democracy: "Tonight on our final ReidOut, we’re going to talk about what people are actually doing to resist this and get some great advice from some of our favorite friends on what more we can do."
Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich.
If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.
“So you’re a world leader and you’ve been threatened by the American president. What now?” @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.
Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.
It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.
Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.
Don't tune out. Don't let them win.
Medicaid didn't go offline because it was too "woke."
School lunch programs weren't put at risk because of immigrants.
Funding for cancer research wasn't on the chopping block because of trans people.
All of this (and more) was jeopardized because of one person: Donald Trump.
