ICE killed a Colombian man. He was legally authorized to work. His wife and 3-year-old daughter were in the car when ICE fired at least 5 times. He was not their target. Agents wore no body cameras. This is fascism. Prepare: PAXIS.app Keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

Schools already treat some life skills, such as swimming, as essential.

I can hardly wait until Trump is no longer President. The State of New York and New York City are going to go after Dump and his sons for everything. Hochul and Mamdani will go after him constantly and they will not care what the Federal government says. That should be fun to watch.

“Voters are letting chatbots help fill out their ballots. The Trump administration has spent a year making sure it controls what the chatbots say.”

Call your Senators and tell them to VOTE NO on this creep’s confirmation. ☎️ Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121 Todd Blanche is a scourge on our judicial system. He’s not just a threat to women and children, he’s a threat to our nation.

New York to impose the country’s first statewide moratorium on data centers.

So Donald Trump's primetime address is about foreign infiltration in the 2020 election. Funny... he was the president in 2020. If foreign infiltration happened on his watch, that's an admission of his own failure. Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app

ON THIS DATE July 13, 1857: Slaughter County, Washington was renamed Kitsap County in honor of Chief Kitsap, the renowned Suquamish leader. Chief Sealth (who Seattle is named after) was born in what is now Kitsap county

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

When the government rigs elections, solicits bribes, launches illegal wars, sends the feds to intimidate reporters at their homes and executes people in the streets, it’s smelling a lot like a dictatorship.

Texas. Ken Paxton cut an Epstein-style deal for pedophile Adam Hoffman, after only 29 days, with no need to register as a sex offender. James Talarico filed a FOIA to compel Paxton to release the files. Paxton refused, telling Texans he doesn’t owe them a reason why. #Vote4Talarico

The Downtown Seattle Association recently released a “report” that was meant to convince us that taxes on high earners are smothering the Seattle economy. Ron Davis explains why their analysis is flat wrong. Op-ed by Ron Davis: www.theurbanist.org/op-ed-the-da...

"From July 1, 2026, households in New South Wales, South Australia, and southeastern Queensland can access at least three hours of free electricity each day through a new initiative called the Solar Sharer Offer" via No One Cares

A federal judge ordered acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release the unredacted Epstein files by July 2. He missed it, as he missed the December deadline. The agency that enforces court orders is the Justice Department he runs. His confirmation hearing to make it permanent begins Wednesday.

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. They are demanding immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

@nytimes headline writers: "Trump Administration Is Snapping Up Stakes in Private Companies." I feel there's a word for when the national government takes control of companies.

No one in history has had more attorneys disbarred on their behalf than this psychopath. And you can’t pardon a disbarment.

The concept of impeachment in US politics is a sick joke. The last public official to be impeached in this country was Donald Trump, and look at where we are now. Our leaders have restricted our ability to recall them, for fear of facing accountability. Democracy relies on the right of recall.

The deal already cleared federal regulators, but now faces a challenge from a coalition of 12 states.

In other words, it will get covered up again and Susan Collins won’t say or do a damn thing.

Data centers should be charged 2-3x the rate for electricity, and residents should be charged greatly reduced rates wherever they exist. Data centers must be zoned outside of all residential and public commerce areas and subject to all environmental impact report requirements & regulations.

Ironic, a cartoon character has more wisdom than the entire tRump clown cabinet combined

ALERT: More trouble for Todd Blanche today. Attorneys for @katiephang.bsky.social ask Judge Emmet Sullivan to issue a $1000/day fine against Blanche until Blanche adheres to court order to release more Epstein files (Blanche refused to do so by July 2 deadline)

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

Mainers are not happy with Collins. Demonstrators in Biddeford protesting ICE’s killing of a Colombian workman this morning swarmed her office

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.

In just six months, Mamdani has already made huge progress on: -Lowering rent -Enacting universal childcare -Taxing the super rich -Improving city buses -Cracking down on junk fees and subscription traps -Protecting gig workers from wage theft This is what delivering for the people looks like.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assured a judge in Washington, D.C., that it was shuttering a controversial citizenship database, but would make the tool available to four Republican-led states on a different judge’s orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If Republicans confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General , then it is proof positive that they are “All In” on the authoritarian takeover of the US. Blanche has refused Trump virtually nothing. He supports the effort Trump launched on day one of his second term in office to erase the insurrection.

Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A totally unprecedented 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints. I'm voting NO.

Can we repeat so everyone can hear even the everything bad is Communism US idiots at the back of the room. When all companies are taken over by the State to provide for everyone, that IS Communism. When Donald Trump takes them over to make money for him, that IS Fascism.

There is exactly ONE active criminal investigation into Epstein's ranch. It's stuck. Not for lack of evidence...because the DOJ won't hand it over. New piece. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

There's not a day that goes by without thinking about January 6 2021 & why Donald Trump wasn't in handcuffs that night. Democracy died when he attempted a coup without consequence. Every day, his mere freedom is a reminder we failed.

The Epstein files “raise serious questions regarding the extent of the bank’s relationship with Epstein, and your knowledge of these ties,” Warren told Dimon.
