This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status. These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.

Bari Weiss, with her keen, objective journalistic judgment said she killed this report because it “didn’t advance the ball.” Just 100% innocent people sent by the USA to be sexually and violently tortured for months.

Interviews with people actually tortured at the behest of the Trump Administration? YAWN! It's old news. We're going with stories of urgent importance, like sherpas who help rich people climb Mount Everest.

NOTHING IS PREMATURE! THE TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO TAKE BOLD, URGENT ACTION WAS 11 MONTHS AGO

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

I'm a pastor, and this is about right. At the time of Jesus' birth, Nazareth (where Mary and Joseph were from) was considered a s---hole city. Thirty years later, speaking of Jesus, people asked "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"

The unemployment rate for Black workers soared to 8.3% in November. That's more than double the rate for white workers.

I disagree with Rob Reiner about his own movie. This is not a naturalistic film; it’s a fairy tale told by a grandfather. We’re aware that it’s not real; it’s a story. 2 shots later we see the sword fight which is deliberately shown to be in an imagined environment www.instagram.com/reel/DSTfOlp...

The unemployment rate fell from 6.7%, as Trump left it, to 4.2% under Biden. And inflation was down to 2.9% when Biden left office.

Then-Pepsi CFO Hugh Johnston said in 2022 "I actually think we’re capable of taking whatever pricing we need" Then Pepsi raised prices by double-digit percentages for 7 straight quarters. Guess where he's CFO now? www.thebignewsletter.com/p/secret-doc...

I may have underestimated the national psychological effect of Trump’s devastating political career. Most children today have only known the Trump era of America, where a president does and says the most mean, immoral, disgusting things. And many (40%?) of their parents excuse it or condone it.

Throughout Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man I kept thinking that Jeremy Renner’s character reminded me of someone. Then I realized.

Excuse me. The Tom the Dancing Bug symbol just appeared in the sky. I have to log onto X and fight evil.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

After President Trump was awarded a "peace prize" by FIFA, the global governing body for soccer, the U.S. Justice Department suddenly announced that it was dropping an international soccer bribery case.

Incredible. How perfectly Trumpian. As inhumanly, psychopathically low as he had to go to make the boast the he owned the tallest building in downtown Manhattan on the day of 9/11, he STILL had to go even lower and LIE in order to do it.

There is no bottom to Trump's narcissistic derangement. He has to make the Reiner family tragedy about himself. Remember that when he was interviewed ON THE DAY OF 9/11, his reaction was to brag now that the twin towers had been destroyed, he owned the tallest building in downtown Manhattan.

The worst weekend news cycle of a year of horrible news cycles.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

In September, I saw Rob Reiner interviewed by his friend Alan Zweibel. He was so charming and funny and full of life and fun. What a tragedy.

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her. The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Oh no. Rob Reiner? The horrible news keeps coming
