A Fascist judge in Virginia has ruled that the ballot measure yesterday was unconstitutional & void from the start. So the legal battle has begun once again with the MAGA Fascists who are trying to rig the election which will probably go to SCOTUS.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car.

Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.

No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

Texas can force schools to post Ten Commandments, federal appeals court rules | Houston Public Media The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state can enforce its 2025 law requiring public schools to display donated posters of the Ten Commandments.

Texas can now enforce the law requiring a poster of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom.

Ken Paxton says it’s a victory for the “moral values” of Texas.

He broke commandments 7, 9, and 10 when he cheated on his wife.

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Did he post this drunk or sober?

This shit should be a crime, not a business model.

Anyone else getting the sense that Trump is colluding with energy market robber barons to screw every last one of the rest of us? Anyone else starting to feel like the Second Iran War is a grift to enrich domestic and foreign billionaires at the expense of America's middle class?

This is infuriating.

And if anyone knows about what makes a man attractive, it’s — *checks notes* — the person married to Stephen Miller 😬

Holy shit. I don’t have words for how corrupt this is. Keep in mind, the Ukraine whistleblower is still anonymous. And Gabbard kept a whistleblower report from Congress about a call between foreign intel agents discussing someone close to Trump and Iran. @andrewbakaj.bsky.social

The answer is simple:

1) Vote against it.
2) Dem candidates pledge to allocate an entire wings of the EPA and DOJ and MSHA to investigate every character in every document. Ensure regulatory hell for everyone involved to increase the cost beyond viability.

Here’s my statement regarding the trump administration and DOJ motion to vacate the violent criminal records of the Jan 6 rioters.
