a glaring omission from much of the convo about the Delaney Hall labor and hunger strike imo is the fact that *these people shouldn't be laboring in the first place* this is slavery, & even the 13th Amendment's 'punishment for a crime' exception doesn't apply! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Not enough people know that the DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump and his family from IRS audits. That's *extraordinarily* corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar.

The National Park Service has opened public comment on POTUS Trump’s proposed arch in DC: parkplanning.nps.gov/commentForm.... Deadline: June 15. Construction crews are already working on the site, despite the absence of democratic legitimacy from intentionally obtaining the consent of the governed.

How do people want Democrats to act? Like an opposition party! Andrea sees some good examples of that from Andy Kim, Maxwell Frost, and Ras Baraka, among others. And the public rewards Dems standing up; the generic ballot only opened up after they refused to help Republicans fund the government.

Since PTSD is being invoked to excuse any and all abuse and misconduct, let us acknowledge where it is most common. .... From my book Recollections of My Nonexistence.

Deplorable actions and words by trump. Aren’t we all sick of this shit? #NoKings #NoBillionaires and he’s really upped the orange face.

It's Jagged Little Pill-level irony (in that I'm not sure it's irony) that Putin is now getting almost everything he wants from the US. The 2016 attack on our election was the single greatest intelligence operation of the century. And he's still failing in Ukraine in a way that threatens everything.

“Since it is all too clear It takes time to grasp it” #Patriarchy Found in spiritual quotes calendar years ago.

new William Gibson book opening line dropped

Thousands of Albanians again took to the streets of Tirana protesting against a development planned by a company linked with Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner on an environmentally sensitive part of the Adriatic coast.

Reality check - Trump has the worst job creation record of any President since Hoover. New, from me👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/publish/post...

from @simonwdc.bsky.social How is this not plastered all over our media? And all over our communities (stickers, flyers, in mailboxes)?

#PrivatePrisonSystem is just a money making scheme. Costs tax payers more money than any state run system (which is also highly problematic) and incentivizes locking up human beings. #Deplorable. #AbolishICE This is the #republican party.

This is the single most alarming thing I’ve seen yet from RFK Jr. He is attempting to get identifiable medical records from ALL OF US. “Under the proposal, HHS would get data from 90% of the population’s medical records by 2028”. This CANNOT be permitted to happen.

It has now been almost two weeks since the laborers keeping ICE’s Delaney Hall mega-jail open went on strike. By withholding their labor, detained people “are in a real way hitting GEO where it hurts."

#republicans hard at work pardoning criminals. #GOP

AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

UPDATE: The GOP reconciliation bill (with $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol) has just been updated with a new $350 million slush fund for the regime to unleash Minneapolis-like violence on "uncooperative" cities. A final vote is expected within days, so call Congress NOW to oppose this bill.

Not nearly enough attention is being paid to this horrible person.

In 1933 Adolf Hitler shook down German industrialists for millions of Reichsmark to establish what he called the Adolf-Hitler-Spende der deutschen Wirtschaft—a slush fund he used to pay off Nazis whose violence got them into legal trouble. In 2026, Donald Trump is quietly doing the same thing.

Your tax dollars being used by #republicans and the #GOP to fund #war, #StateCapture and fire hosing gold all over the #whitehouse.

Weiss and the Ellisons have an utterly transparent ideological agenda. Thank you, Scott Pelley, for calling them out. trib.al/vye41vh

tRump dropped some tariffs on ag equipment from 25% to 15%, but the changes look more like midterm election pandering than real relief for farmers. Bankruptcies are soaring from his trade wars, & this temp tweak expires after the votes. Classic tRump: throw a bone, not a lifeline. mcsp.short.gy/FQg0

On a warm night in July 2024, soldiers from the SAF stormed into Yasser’s home carrying batons and Kalashnikov rifles. They told Yasser that his 21-year-old daughter Hind was accused of collaborating with the RSF, a paramilitary at war with the SAF, Sudan’s army, since April 2023.

a reminder that the USPS has new rules that make it very important to not put your mail ballot in a normal mailbox in the final days: boltsmag.org/usps-postmar...

No shame.

Some people are offended by how far off the comparisons are between the camps in the US today and how Dachau ended. Instead, they should be revolted by how close our camps are to how Dachau began.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Financial experts were alarmed over what some have described as a financial “coup” being carried out by Elon Musk, one that could see tens of millions of Americans unknowingly prop up his unprofitable company SpaceX through their retirement accounts.

This is a nightmare. Tell your representatives NO!

#NoKings alert re scam PACs

Second night of Jersey cops attacking protesters who are there supporting hunger strikers inside a sadistic immigrant jail

The NoKings coalition is broadcasting a great concert and encouraging people to get together locally to watch, connect, enjoy community, and maybe do a little organizing. Check out NoKings.org.

Two days ago, retired border patrol Nazi Greg Bovino promised “a twist” related to Delaney Hall. He said “they won’t see this coming”, and that standing up “citizen militias” is a good idea. Today, the Proud Boys arrived on scene.

Youth are speaking up modeling for the adults in the room @cbsnews.com

Everyone needs to read this. It presents another way to think about /act on how to get the transformation we need right now and post-trump.

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

“On Wednesday morning, the Justice Department went to court to advance an argument that, if accepted, would all but erase the existence of transgender people in the law.” Read my report at Law Dork:

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

“A Popular Information investigation, however, found that Lead Left is linked to Caleb Crosby, a Republican operative. Crosby is the treasurer of the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), the primary super PAC of the House Republicans” #primaries #GOP

#StateCapture. Enriching themselves by stealing our tax dollars. Why would anyone support this? #republicans are grifters and/or cowards. #NoBillionaires #NoOligarchs #NoKings

This is so outrageous and a daily accordance under Trump and the #republicans #misogyny #patriarchy
