Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files

“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: “Military action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world"

Seems to be the pattern…

As it relates to current news, I don’t know what to say. Keep screaming. Keep fighting. Protect your loved ones. Protect humanity. Vote. Vote. Vote. Refuse to roll over. Refuse to give up. They cannot win. They simply cannot.

We should have nice things

A judge says the IRS broke the law 42,695 times when they provided taxpayer data to DHS. We tried to build an IRS that cracked down on wealthy and corporate tax cheats. The billionaires said no and illegally turned the IRS to invading regular people’s privacy. Says it all.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

He's a walking false flag Me thinks

Donald Trump ran on promises of peace and is now dragging us into what will be this generation’s ‘Iraq War’ moment. Congress must vote to stop Trump’s war, as their votes from here on out will define their legacies forever.

Once again, the founders foresaw Trump perfectly, what they failed to foresee was this supine Congress.

Weapons of Mass Destruction 2.0

GS: Recent conversations with clients have increasingly focused on the threat of white-collar labor displacement. Potential labor exposure to AI automation...

We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes! Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal. Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.

Super rich people like us have the means to pay our fair share. Every great country starts with a great economy. And the best way to ensure that happens is by taxing those at the very top.

This is crowdsourced data on reports of ICE activity. Note further that California has 6.7X people as MN. www.startribune.com/is-ice-reall...

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

A sobering read of how both sides struggle to hold the rich and powerful accountable. This isn’t simply about getting justice for the survivors anymore. I would argue it’s also about salvaging our broken republic. It’s about returning our government back to the people.

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical. My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able. You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

🚨BREAKING: Democracy Docket has obtained a draft of the executive order being circulated with the White House that would allow Trump to take unprecedented control over voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As a midterm message, “We’re gonna get your money back” seems pretty potent and easy to understand. @punchbowlnews.bsky.social punchbowl.news/article/sena...

AI is coming for your job. No one will be spared, we will all be impacted. If you don't vote, now's the time to start

Minnesotans are scrambling to make sure their neighbors can pay rent. The legislature needs to understand the reality (some get it, some don't want to) and make sure we can stay in our homes

This is how it's done 👇💯

Working people are tired of billionaires and giant corporations getting even richer while we’re fighting for scraps. Workers are hungry to take back their power, and they’re turning to the labor movement to fight back and win. ✊

As someone else noted the other day, Democrats don’t necessarily need to be PROgressive, they need to be AGGressive.

"Are Americans better off now than they were a year ago?"

The process and legal fights over paying back import taxes will help shove tariffs back into voters’ minds, as well as provide them an excruciatingly detailed civics lesson in who literally pays the levies. (Hint: it’s not foreign governments.) www.politico.com/newsletters/...

A big thank you to Anthropic! After a weeks-long standoff between the Defense Department and AI firm Anthropic over how the military can deploy its technology, CEO Dario Amodei said tonight that the company will not loosen its usage policies.

Yesterday, thousands of New Yorkers took work off, traveled hours across the state days after a blizzard, and showed up in Albany with a clear message: It’s time to TAX THE RICH.

This is why we need AI guardrails in place to protect working people. Corporations have shown us time and time again they will go back on their AI safety commitments. That’s why America’s unions are fighting for federal and state pro-worker AI policies.

Trying to do my taxes and having a hard time focusing. ICE spent $30 million just on bullets.

In 1965, CEOs made 20 times more than workers. Today, it’s 281 times more. At some companies, it's even worse. Patriotic Millionaire Todd Oppenheimer explains decades of policies have concentrated wealth at the top and how we can clean up this mess. craftsmanship.substack.com/p/the-craft-...

DEUTSCHE: “.. Did Marx predict AI? Nearly 200 years ago he wrote a book "on machines" imagining full automation. In this world the problem of scarcity is solved. But with the value of labour dropping to zero, capitalism becomes obsolete and we transition into a different world of abundance.”

It’s time to make Citizens United history. Montana — and now California — can lead the way. Here's how. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-california-can-neuter-citizens

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I will never forgive anyone who voted for this.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.
