The difference between stiff sentences for anti-ICE activists in Texas and President Trump’s clemency for January 6 rioters raises uncomfortable questions about justice under this administration, @dgraham.bsky.social argues:

“During fifteen centuries Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? Pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution.” –James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments, 1785

Every president needs advisors who can give them candid advice. When you start to think you have all the answers, that’s how you end up paying $300 billion dollars and siding with Hezbollah to end a war you started.

What a disgraceful moment in US history… talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

"So this very much looks like a deliberate war crime. It's an attack I fear the USA will regret for a long time. It is no different than Al-Qaeda deliberately targeting civilians. If the US gets attacked in return, it will only be served what seems to be official American policy on a cold plate."

Robert Reich has the answer… The ceiling on income subject to Social Security payroll tax must be raised. If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to Social Security payroll tax, solvency would be guaranteed forever, and also expand SS benefits. robertreich.substack.com/p/they-dont-...

Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

AI could generate trillions in wealth in the coming years. We can let Elon Musk and a few Silicon Valley billionaires become richer and richer—OR we can tax AI and invest in schools, healthcare, and workers.
