ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Hey Illinois voters! Dem Primary Endorsement time! vote Juliana Stratton for Senate. She’s a real progressive, in a time when we need one.

I ditched a whole lotta businesses, and it's one of the few joys of the current era.

$38.3 Billion! For concentration camps! I don't see how America comes back from this.

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data. Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Unless we change the course of history in the next few months, we're going to wake up this fall with an archipelago of concentration camps filled with thousands and thousands of human beings imprisoned almost solely for their identity across the United States of America.

So it has come to this.

Just noting this because I have cited the trends a lot recently: Tracking data from Civiqs now shows a plurality of the public favors abolishing ICE, with 47% in support and 46% opposed. Independents are net +5 on abolish, up from -40 a year ago substack.com/profile/4791...

i have to wonder what kind of future AI hypebeasts are imagining when they say stupid shit like, "most or all of white collar tasks will be automated within 18 months". like, okay, microsoft, then who are your customers? who is purchasing O365 subscriptions when robots are doing all the work?

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

This is stealing. And every single penny they take from our healthcare is going straight to tax breaks for billionaires. People are going to suffer so billionaires can buy our media, our politicians, our hospitals, and our apartment buildings. This is bad stuff, folks.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon both helped start the modern anti-trans moral panic to distract from their paedophilia. That is a fact. As documented in the files. Also a fact is they hoped it would drive some trans people to sex work and into their arms. Also a fact documented in the files. 1/2

Minnesota is still under attack. Federal thugs swarmed Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. Witnesses report tear gas used on students and staff. At least two school employees were handcuffed. Video evidence is circulating. DHS is denying it happened 🤬 Schools should be safe havens!

Important information that requires your immediate attention.

Jeffrey Epstein was really all up in Elon Musk's business, including making recommendations for taking Tesla private via Saudi money -- and who should join the company's board.

Epstein survivors raise their hands to signal they've been ignored by Trump's DOJ as AG Pam Bondi refuses to look at them (Roberto Schmidt/AFP via Getty)

This is it. Pam Bondi's sole job. Protect Trump, criminals, and pedophiles.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

A Penguin pinup I did years back. It was finished and printed somewhere. This version with the background still in pencil is what I found on my phone, so…

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Okay chums, today's the day: CYCLOPS #1 is here. A thousand thank yous to everyone who supported us and spread the word. Thank you to all the retailers who ordered big (and small) to get us to this moment. I really hope you like it. ZARK!

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Donald Trump and the Republicans are threatening to destroy representative democracy while killing civilians, taking massive bribes, destroying alliances, and exploding costs. That's why it's so critical that the Democrats find candidates who are inspiring enough to get me to vote.

I think maybe the remarkable part is that the US Attorney tried to indict six Democratic elected officials (and veterans) who made a video saying that everyone should follow the law.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

It has been reported that Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files 38,000 times. That is a lie. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has said that when he searched for Trump in the unredacted files, Trump’s name came up “more than a million times.” We should be calling them “The Trump Files.”

My rep.

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs. This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless." www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

Country Singer, songwriter Charley Crockett well said......

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog. With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

Ah, the indignities of the working creative. How many of us get these extortion scams from “reviewers” with an AI Assist?
