The Times, Post, CNN, and Politico all ran stories this weekend or this morning about Trump getting his base back behind him on Epstein. The most prominent source cited to justify this claim _in all four publications_ was Steve Bannon. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Trump's administration reportedly wants to incentivize people to have more kids, driven by an ideology associated with eugenics.
#ICYMI: The EPA withdrew a legal complaint filed last year against the GEO Group, a major Trump donor that has more than $1 billion in contracts with the administration to run private prisons and ICE facilities.

Congratulations to Harvard on its principled resistance to Trumpism <hand to earpiece> Hold on, I’m getting word -
It’s past time Democrats start calling the media out in their appearances. Talking about ICE? Ask the host if they support white supremacy—and if not then why are they talking about ICE without talking about Stephen Miller, the documented racist who’s running it for a checked out Trump?
important update on @propublica.org's reporting on America's largest oxygen supply company, which made billions while repeatedly defrauding Medicare 👇
seems like this should be a big deal.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.
Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.
I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.
"Two U.S. contractors said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices. They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished."
Republicans vote to kill
It’s worth noting (again) that explaining to non-historians how studying history develops critical thinking skills is the most effective way to help people understand history’s value to society and leads them to support greater funding. aaslh.org/reframing-hi...
Surprise surprise. A week after Sarah McBride gives cover fire for throwing trans people under the bus, some Dems are privately indicating they’ll capitulate on trans youth healthcare and citing the pseudoscientific Cass Report literally drafted in consultation with hate groups.
It’s so bad. Everyone I know with the luxury of citizenship is carrying their passport around. I should say, everyone who isn’t white, since the abductors are clearly and obviously targeting people by race. Many, many people are too scared to leave their homes.
Oh man, I’ve been out of town for the last week or so, but this brought home how absolutely dystopian it is in LA right now. Roving bands of unidentifiable masked men just snatching people off the street, abetted by LAPD. It’s fucking terrifying. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
Federal officers from across US government depts have joined ICE to execute raids, but we don't know who they are while they widely cover their faces + refuse to identify themselves.
"Masked agents in casual clothing using force against people in public is associated with police states."
If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
The first known detention by the US Marines in their recent Los Angeles deployment is of... a US Army veteran on his way to an office at the Department of Veteran Affairs building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
THREAD.
Let history note: what's happening on the streets of LA is an extension of DOGE. Musk's guys illegally consolidated data from across government and cut a corrupt contract with Palantir to build an immigrant-hunting computer system. Presumably in use now.
About 3 dozen LAPD officers in full riot gear, standing around looking confused, bored, aimless. A waste of taxpayer money, a threatening show of force without morality or purpose. Behind them, the north wall of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, covered with Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)" mural: against a field of stark red, white letters that read, in part, WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST
Pulitzer prize for this Jay L. Clenendin image of LAPD stormtroopers in front of Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)"
My latest scoop: ICE has rescinded its accountability policy for warrantless arrests, giving agents “free license to make any arrest,” per one lawyer representing victims.
It follows @theguardian.com exclusive that the agency was told to “push the envelope” to meet Trump’s 3k arrest quota.
1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.
- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.
