Okay America, your move....

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

Mamdani: "$5.4 billion is a very steep mountain to climb ... We want to work with Albany to raise personal income taxes by 2% on the 33,000 New Yorkers earning more than $1 million per year and to raise corporate taxes on the most profitable corporations."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

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?

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

At this point, some leaked videos might help.

Whaaaa?

No words

Crook

The Trump regime is plotting to convert commercial warehouses to massive ICE detention centers. Private prison corporations, who just so happened to donate to Trump, are already raking in billions. How many more private companies are going to cash in on this cruelty?

And nothing will happen 😡

Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Terrible

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

New tariff just dropped. Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June. (Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Lol

WARNING to ST. Paul: ICE is going door to door with weapons drawn.

“The real lunatic fringe sanctions the execution of a citizen and then spends days smearing her and that imagines itself to be at war with its own people…That fringe is doubling down, and hiring and hiring and hiring. This is going to get much worse.” newrepublic.com/post/205122/...

ICE doesn’t protect communities. It invades them—and then blame everyone else for noticing. 🔄

Sen. Tina Smith: "How can we trust the federal government to do an objective, unbiased investigation, without prejudice, when at the beginning of that investigation they have already announced what they think happened? ... they have completely destroyed any credibility."

ICYMI: Important details into the background of the ICE agent who murdered Renee Nicole Good

Thank you to all who are protesting today in memory of #ReneeGood In Newton, there were more than 300 folks, including a good sized contingent from our congregation, the First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton, #MA

I know it’s exhausting. I know you’re sick to death of Trump. I am, too. But as he revealed yesterday, there is no limit to what Trump will do to assert his power. Your activism, courage, and attention are needed now more than ever. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-the-looting

BREAKING: Jerome Powell revealed that staffers at the Fed think the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month. The true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month. trib.al/b7YqZYm

Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.

This is when I knew Xi was going to take this babbling fool to the cleaners, and us in the process. The Golden Age of Dipshittery.

Sen. Mark Kelly: “He’s trying to silence me, but he’s not silencing me. I will do my job every single day whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I’m not going to shut up.” Neither are we, sir! #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

A date which will live in infamy. A quiet dawn. A sudden attack. An enduring legacy of courage. Today, we remember the servicemembers who gave their lives defending our nation at Pearl Harbor. Their sacrifice is woven into the fabric of our freedom. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay

Being subject to the law is a bedrock foundation of citizenship globally and has been for centuries. Without it, laws wouldn't matter.

I’m sure there are more criminals and felons in the current administration than are getting rounded up by ICE

Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data. It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America.https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=4Ptdx0tQBOBOUin1

A former high-level Drug Enforcement agent was indicted on charges of conspiring to traffic drugs and launder millions of dollars for a Mexican cartel.

Bad bad

Kash receives a "scathing assessment" in a new report prepared for the ranking members of the House and Senate judiciary committees by active-duty and retired agents. • insecure • in over his head • dismal leadership • lacking the experience necessary #DefendersOfDemocracy cont'd 👇

Pinning the blame on Admiral Bradley - when Hegseth gave the order to kill everyone - is a gross abdication of leadership. He's not qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

When a felon is POTUS crime pays.

Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later. The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point.

Tennessee’s special House election on Tuesday should be a GOP cakewalk — but voters are really sick of Trump The sudden competitiveness of an election in a heavily gerrymandered Republican district could be a sign of rising political fortunes for Democrats.

The bomb threats directed at Senator Schumer’s offices are reprehensible. Disagreement is part of democracy. Violence and intimidation are not. This is not a Republican or Democratic problem. It is everyone’s problem and both parties must stop it.
