Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

University of Alabama suspends two student magazines to comply with anti-DEI regulations - al.com WTF Alabama?!

If they didn’t care about being obvious enough before, they truly don’t care now The regime out here using Fraktur Font

Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

Sandy Hemme spent 43 years behind bars. Even after a judge declared her innocent and ordered her freed, Missouri's attorney general tried to send her back. The state’s legal and political systems often resist admitting error even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

www.facebook.com/share/p/1D5Z... We’ve been meeting at a chaotic intersection once a week (sometimes in the rain or cold) to raise our collective voices and show a little “rush hour resistance.” Over the months, the working class commute has started to come around. Speak up! Fight back!

We've added another drop-off location for our winter item drive, with four days left for collections. Thanks to Village Green Records for stepping up and asking to be a part of this action!

The Department of Homeland Security is adopting powerful new tools to monitor noncitizens. Privacy advocates are worried they erode privacy rights for all Americans.

Libertarian socialism says that enterprises ought to be owned and managed in a democratic fashion by the people who participate in them. Our current system is totalitarian. Orders come from the top and they are transmitted down, and at the very bottom you are allowed to rent yourself to survive.

A new book, "Injustice," examines how the Biden Justice Department failed to hold Trump accountable for abuses of power, despite multiple high-profile investigations. Co-authors Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis discuss their findings.

Getting ready for tomorrow’s Street Solidarity action! Thanks to the generosity of sooooo many donors, we’re going to send a lot of kids to their first day of school with all the supplies that they shouldn’t have to supply themselves!

Who’s ready to mock some fascist clowns this Saturday? Our protest poster art party tonight was 🔥🔥🔥.

New IJ lawsuit filed today challenging ICE raids of construction sites, wherein ICE detains American citizens in AL, rejects their proof of citizenship, and holds them without PC. Worth a read, and more evidence of the wide gulf b/w what SCOTUS says is happening and what is actually happening.

There is no person in America more responsible for spreading hate, violence and division than Donald Trump. Period.

For three decades, a little-known group of “mitigation specialists” has helped save death-penalty defendants by documenting their childhood traumas. Take a rare look inside one case:

Justice Clarence Thomas writes constantly that the Constitution is colorblind. And yet, he and his fellow conservative justices were silent this week as the court voted to allow the Trump administration to detain suspected immigrants based in part on the color of their skin.

A health care crisis is coming, triggered by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Analysts expect employer health insurance premiums to rise by 9% next year, while premiums in the individual market will rise by 18%. From @damonsilvers.bsky.social:‬

Democrats and progressives rushed to lament the murder of Charlie Kirk, writes @joanwalsh.bsky.social, but the right rushed even faster to blame the left for its opposition to Trump's authoritarian movement, a movement backed to the hilt by Kirk’s Turning Point USA.

In case you needed a refresher:

Lying to suspects remains a staple of homicide detective work and is protected by the courts.

Charlie Kirk—friend to Trump and his family, confidante to Cabinet officials, and an interpreter of politics and faith to the MAGA world—“was one of the most influential unelected people in America,” Isaac Stanley-Becker and Ashley Parker write. https://theatln.tc/HoYTUl6o

The teenager who opened fire at his classmates before shooting himself has been identified by authorities as 16-year-old Desmond Holly. He died at the hospital of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. via @coloradopublic.bsky.social

"I’ve never seen the Democratic leadership not endorse the Democratic candidate. It’s so ugly, it’s so cowardly, it’s so stupid." @timothypmurphy.bsky.social talked to Democratic voters who want their leaders to stop running from Zohran Mamdani

JUST IN: A Michigan judge has dismissed criminal charges against 15 people who signed false certificates saying Donald Trump won the state's electoral votes in 2020.

In a big reversal from their usual faux-masculinity, ICE is now claiming that videotaping their actions is “violence.” That’s quite embarrassing, but it’s also a serious attack on the freedom of the press. From @matthewccook5.bsky.social with @exposedbycmd.bsky.social:

A Michigan judge dismissed criminal charges Tuesday against a group of people who were accused of attempting to falsely certifying President Trump as the winner of the 2020 election in the battleground state. https://to.pbs.org/4nlF7gL

Over the next 15 months, we can expect a coordinated campaign — backed by the full power of the executive branch — to undermine confidence in our election system. Here’s what to expect, and how key actors can be ready to respond: bit.ly/4fRIqtA

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, arrived in Puerto Rico on Monday as the U.S. steps up its military operations against drug cartels in the Caribbean. https://to.pbs.org/3HOq6Fl

After his announcement this week that he would seek to eliminate “all vaccine mandates,” Florida’s surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, made one thing clear: This decision was based on no science, just vibes.

There is a very real prospect that President Trump could lose the midterms. It’s ahead of this threat of defeat that he and his allies are working overtime to sway the elections before a single vote is cast. @ariberman.bsky.social reports on the unprecedented moves.

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino.” In LA now, that is the reality, at least as long as this case continues. And there’s no reason in this opinion to assume it won’t soon be the reality for the rest of us, too.

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

@leahlitman.bsky.social said it best: “Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."
