@fairmediawatch.bsky.social: Democrats are welcome to go door-to-door to try to interest Democratic voters in policies they see as both pro-rich people, pro-cop, pro-Israel and middle-of-the-road, but recent polls indicate that a majority won’t be interested. fair.org/home/corpora...

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

But not Starbucks, who won't agree to let us keep ICE out of our stores. Shame!

It’s currently operating totally outside of our constitutional rules. Habeas corpus , due process of law, equal protection, freedom of speech, 4th amendment protections against search and seizure, are all not being enforced in any common sense or meaningful way.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

Federal tax prosecutions have fallen to their lowest level in decades — dropping 27% the past year. This comes after Trump made deep cuts to the IRS. DOJ agents were reportedly also told not to prioritize tax prosecutions. Tax cheats must be thrilled.
