*laughs in "years of Benghazi hearings"*

From @jennburrill.bsky.social "Pentagon’s top general cautioned President Trump from an attack on Iran, due to a shortfalls in critical munitions & a lack of support from allies that adds significant risk to the operation and U.S. personnel"

They are very deliberately and maliciously destroying the country's national security apparatus. When inevitably there's an attack and US citizens die, the blood will be on this Administration's hands. Democrats need to build that narrative now. apnews.com/article/trum...

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

So let’s think about this. A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands. The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

We found the Trump administration kept about 300 kids at the Dilley detention center for more than a month, despite a long-standing legal settlement that generally limits the time children can be held in detention to 20 days.

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

ICE begins to purchase warehouses, but some owners are backing out of deals apnews.com/article/immi...

So they drove a 2 mo old baby to the brink of death and then deported him as quickly as possible so Kristi Noem & DHS doesn’t get blowback if the child’s health worsens. Reminds me of what North Korea did to Otto Waimbier under Trump 1.0.

It must have taken a dozen people or more to abduct Liam Ramos and send him to Texas. At any one point, someone could have disrupted the process. That they didn’t is horrifying. That they *could* is important. They have agency and they’re making choices.

ICYMI: ICE’s plans to convert warehouse into detention space is “doomed to failure,” according to an account from a person with firsthand knowledge of ICE’s plans to convert warehouses into mass detention centers. Have a tip or insight? Reach us at [email protected]

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

These people would have seized and burned Anne Frank’s diary if they had the chance.

SICKENING: "The White House has called on U.S.C.I.S. to initiate between a hundred and two hundred 'denaturalization' cases each month, which consists of stripping naturalized citizens of their existing legal status."👇

Tests found barium, which can cause heart and blood pressure problems, at 3x the EPA’s limit in the Boarmans’ drinking water. But the state did not inform the family of the results for over a month — until @readfrontier.bsky.social and ProPublica requested them.

Walmart just became a trillion dollar company. Its owners, the Waltons, are billionaires many many times over. The starting pay at Walmart is below the living wage. Many of its employees have to work two jobs and rely on SNAP. It’s time for a universal basic income Abolish the billionaire class

"Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike." Key clarification of the idea that fascism is the ideology of dead-end losers; supported by research on racists & misogynists.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Immigration officials in Minnesota arrested 100+ refugees and sent many of them to Texas detention centers where they faced long interviews to once again prove they qualified for protection. Thanks to a judge’s order, they must now be released. capitalandmain.com/amid-the-vio...

PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” bind to human blood and linger in our bodies for years. They’ve been linked to cancers and other health issues. One of the nation’s PFAS hot spots is around Dalton, Georgia, the “Carpet Capital of the World.” www.ajc.com/sp/forever-c...

The city of Minneapolis has been nominated for a 2026 Peace Prize. It’s the first time an entire city has been put forward. Imagine if Trump lost and the city he terrorized won? They’ll win for resisting. For protecting their neighbours. For standing up for what’s right.

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.
