Tax billionaires out of existence.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Democracy is dying in America. ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous. We need real leaders - not career politicians.

NEW: CNN also confirms my reporting — and furthers the story — that the DOJ withheld at least 3 FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child www.cnn.com/2026/02/24/u...

The number of people affected by a data breach at government contractor giant Conduent is growing, as millions of people continue to receive notices warning them that hackers stole their personal data.

Don't walk out because he's offensive, walk out because he's lost you. Worse than dangerous, he's a listless and boring liar who can't hold a room anymore. Be the physical manifestation of his time running out.

every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy

Dow 50,000... But look around, and the real question is why isn't it 60,000?

In the book I'm writing, I have a whole section on what I call "before times" claims in backlash thought, such as the Florida editorialist who wrote in 1961, “Prior to the 1954 school opinion of the Supreme Court, there was peace and tranquility between the races in the South.”

Ballerina Farm's back in the news, for raw milk problems this time. The reporting has been a little sparse on details with exactly what happened. So since I have some professional food safety experience, I went through the reporting to fill in some of the blanks. youtu.be/mdOyeNCkC0I

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Preemptive reply to the "You don't have to like AI but it's the future so you'd better get used to it": I think you'll find that I don't have to get used to anything. I will live in a unabomber-style shack in the middle of the forest before I allow an LLM to think for me

To recap it again: In 2007, Palm Beach financier Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to two counts of soliciting prostitution from a minor, and served a year or so in a local jail (with work release!). Then he went back to his comfy life and powerful friends. And he’d probably be doing it all today.

Check out this new short doc about my arrest and the moral emergency we find ourselves in in this country.“There’s absolutely no one coming to save us. There’s no one coming to save these people. There’s no one going to stand up for them except for the people who are here right now, who care.”

americans will be like “everything is a sequel or remake” and then defund school arts programs

every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

My case for anti-doomerism about the midterms. But I want to break down a particular thing people keep floating: the idea that targeting only a small number of precincts in a small handful of districts would be enough, and they have the resources and manpower do that. Let's talk numbers. 🧵:

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

This shit isn’t over. None of the kids can return to school, none of the parents can return to work. Everyone who was in hiding is still in hiding.

The SAVE act would only disproportionately affect Republican voters if the Trump administration enforces the law equally everywhere Under this administration, laws are not rules that apply to everyone, they are weapons to be used against their enemies

His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

Authoritarians cannot understand regular people because they themselves are cowards Fear motivates them, so they assume it motivates everyone. They can't imagine risking their lives for a stranger, for free It's why they've beat a public retreat in Minneapolis, and it's how we'll ultimately win

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

I'm seeing some pushback on this article bc some of the details seem to be a little off. But: thermobaric weapons are extremely real, are largely designed to "clear structures of occupants," and cannot tell the difference between snipers & kids.

So are the insurance companies just eating the costs of all the car crashes and hospital stays caused by the terrorist chuds? Or should people in the cities being attacked by the remnant of the federal government expect their premiums to spike up again?

The chances of this passing the Senate (i.e., nuking legis. filibuster for it) are slim to none, they're pushing this more for the talking points to delegitimize their midterm loss. But this isn't just very bad policy. It's utterly impractical in the sense that it'd cause total unworkable chaos.

The Save Act which should be named the Save Republicans from Total Destruction Act is a cautionary tale for all women. They are literally trying to repeal the 19th amendment without all the messy work. /1

Put another way, MAGA selects for and celebrates emotionally broken and incompetent people, and the culture of MAGA convinces them their emotional brokenness is actually strength and their incompetence is actually expertise. Bondi is a clear example of this. www.aaronrosspowell.com/3mcb4y7vwqk24

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

Again. It's consistent, but it's not connected to the "crime rate," however you define that. The rate of police killings is a function of the scale and type of policing that happens to *innocent people*. 🙂🙃 Double the number of police stops of innocent Black drivers? Double the number of killings.

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

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens. - Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide -There's worms & mold in food -300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows www.propublica.org/article/life...

What we need is a line of jewelry & accessories that emit overwhelming outputs of light and sound only perceptible to the panopticon's sensors.

So my advice to the press, it is time to rethink how you ask questions. You know trump is a racist, frame it like that. You know trump is a misogynist/rapist, frame it like that. You know trump is a felon, frame it like that. Killing citizens, abducting kids...etc /7

A VPN company server was seized. Reminder: your 'privacy' VPN is still a physical server in somebodies jurisdiction. Claim of RAM disk servers as protection is...interesting. I know nothing more about this case, but hotplugs that let authorities grab a server without cutting power are common. 1/

There are major federal tasks forces operating still in Memphis, New Orleans, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, South Texas, still raiding homes, kidnapping people, black-bagging people from courthouses. If ICE does controversial things but doesn't *say* controversial things, it disappears from the news.

Several things can be true at once: *The usurper will use his finite supply of chuds in an attempt to tamper with the midterns. *The attempt will not succeed. *The attempt itself will delegitimize any result other than the total defeat of the usurper and his minions.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1) share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...

More specifically, he's lying that the SAVE Act is "voter ID." It creates a requirement at the time of *registration* to vote which is deliberately calculated to make traditional voter registration drives impossible. It is not what people usually think of and many states have, ID check at the polls.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it. Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

A cabal of pedophiles conspired to destroy the US government from within by seeding fascist ideas into online forums, spreading conspiracy theories about the opposition based on their own actions, and devised an alternative currency to upend the global economy. Now they run the US government and CBS

Imagine if local/state officials responded to (e.g.) a gas main explosion the way they've responded to the invasion of a violent terrorist gang. "We might put it out next November. Make sure you don't do anything to the fire because you'll just make it mad. If you're on fire, don't call us."

The chuds will definitely *try* to meddle, and interfere, and suppress, and cheat. Expect that. Plan for that. Be ready. But do not expect or assume they will *succeed*. There are more of us and democracy, for all its faults, is still government by the many. We're the fucking many.

Terrorists spraying chemical weapons over whole neighborhoods and the city government is... ...issuing press releases. It's time to end this bullshit. The city needs to shut the building down and clear it out. Remove this violent gang from the streets, from the state, from the time zone.
