The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signs Florida's version of the SAVE Act Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that will require proof of citizenship to vote and impose stricter voter ID restrictions on Floridians

Under this new Florida law, people who lack easy access to a passport or birth certificate, like older Black voters who grew up in the Jim Crow South and recently naturalized citizens, could face issues voting.

We're suing Florida to defend our right to vote.

Months before the midterms, President Trump is again trying to take over voting in America. Between conspiracy theories, FBI raids, & late-night social media rants—it's more than improvisational chaos.

Local officials, lawyers, nonprofit groups, and everyday citizens are resisting. trib.al/gtlwyC0

This is not a video game. It isn’t bowling or football or golf. It is war. Our Service members are putting their lives on the line. People are dying.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Markets latest: Gas price soars 93% since start of conflict Drone strikes across the Middle East and Iran's effective closure of a key shipping route are spooking investors and traders. Follow the latest on the global markets.

This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea

If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

Beyond Clout: The Progressive Bench You Should Be Following A Better Media Ecosystem Starts With Expertise

The media economy rewards attention, not expertise.

So I built a dataset of progressive/left experts worth following: scientists, journalists, organizers, legal scholars, disinfo researchers, and more, with the credibility to match the following.

The U.S. military is not any president’s plaything. The Constitution puts the responsibility on Congress alone to decide whether and when to take on the profound costs of war.

Trump Is Attacking Climate Science. Scientists Are Fighting Back. It’s easy, looking at the past year, to see the damage the administration has done. But researchers are also stepping up, trying to fill the gaps.

It’s clear that saving American climate science requires that the community discard the myth of political neutrality, engage in a concerted defense of liberal democracy, and stand in solidarity with this administration’s other targets. trib.al/cQFeXBO

Donald Trump has not made the case to the American people for his new war.

There was no imminent threat to the country that justified putting our troops at risk.

I'll be helping force a debate and vote in the Senate that would end it.

Anyone who believes that Iran was not or has not been prepared to replace the ayatollah for a long time now, or can't bounce back from this in a few months is gonna be really disappointed. If the goal was in fact regime change, this was the absolute dead-last dumbest & most dangerous way to do it.

We absolutely should root out fraud – and there are a lot of ways to do it that DON’T involve throwing a giant wrench in the health care of seniors, people with disabilities and kids.

This isn’t one of those ways.

Good reporting, thank you!

Can you bridge your account so your posts are visible from the fediverse (eg mastodon)? I’d like to be able to boost your stuff from there.

ICE is overpaying massively for its detention centers. Who is pocketing those profits?

Something stinks here, and it’s our tax dollars paying for it. Tell a friend.
