“We don’t actually give a fuck.” 10 ways to enrich the Trumps and the MAGA movement

The dual state, invented to describe the Nazis, is two-faced twice over: It is characterized by a bifurcation in the law, but also by the facade of normalcy, obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state. This term, the Supreme Court could take us right there.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Congressmember @velazquez.house.gov has introduced a bill in Congress that would bar immigration agents from wearing facial coverings during enforcement actions. "This administration is out of control, and it's affecting everyone."

There are many evidence-based crime fighting strategies with bipartisan support among policymakers, law enforcement professionals, and justice reform advocates. Deploying the military isn’t one of them. bit.ly/4neYVD1

What a Trump / MAGA victory looks like: They made the largest transfer of wealth to the rich, largest cut to Medicaid & food aid in US history. And have made your Electricity bill go up by 30%. In addition millions of jobs are now ending. And more than $4 trillion will be added to the debt.

Great op-ed. NV’s Lt. Gov is spending time “protecting” girls from a problem that doesn’t exist. Trans athletes aren’t the threat—discrimination is. If you care about fairness in sports, address Title IX violations. 🔗 thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin... cc: @thenvindy.bsky.social

And immediately after it passed, the amount of sex workers doing outdoor work sky rocketed. People died. People were assaulted, robbed, raped. People went missing. All so certain folks could feel morally superior.

If you're a journalist, activist, legislator, litigator or interested in better understanding the stakes of age-verification legislation, these are great people. These are tough issues, with potentially massive trade-offs for privacy, security in speech. Really excited for this.

gotta celebrate these small wins. We can make change; we can get results.

For years, anti-trafficking advocates regularly claimed that 300K children were sex trafficked each year. It was never true — the stat was a bastardization of a stat saying 300,000 children were *at risk* of exploitation due to things like poverty, alienation and transphobia. #LowIQAnon

Immigrant workers are the backbone of this country’s economy. Yet, billionaires profit while our essential programs are at risk. It's time for the rich to pay their fair share. The IRS projects a $500B loss this year.

🏙️ From the Las Vegas Strip to every corner of the country, we demand fair wages, safe workplaces, dignity on the job, and a pathway to citizenship for all! But with billionaires profiting, programs like Medicaid and SNAP are at risk. #TaxTheRich to fix this. 🌍

🚨✈️ MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! ✈️🚨 Today, we’re taking action in Las Vegas and across the nation for the May Day National Day of Action! Together, we’re demanding what we DESERVE: fair wages, safe working conditions, dignity on the job, and a path to citizenship for all! #OneStruggleOneFight

This is Ted Cruz' report that seems to be the blueprint for cancelling scientific grants. It's an insane attack on stuff they don't understand. #savescience www.commerce.senate.gov/services/fil...

UNLV and UNR signed the letter. Thank you!!!!! Sandoval signs on to letter objecting to Trump’s higher ed interference  nevadacurrent.com/briefs/sando...

Trump's pardon of Fiore reflects a casual disregard for law enforcement, and a blithe disrespect for one former law enforcement official in particular: Nevada’s Republican governor. Commentary:

“There is no requirement for set-asides for affordable housing in new developments” in the legislation, Titus said. “Affordable housing should be the goal of a lands bill, not incidental to it.”

Any harsher penalties for paying for sex will not make it safer for sex workers. The evidence is clear. Vote NO if #AB299 goes to the #NVSenate @rochellefornevada.bsky.social

Support those colleges and universities who are fighting the Trump administration’s Fascist impulses and tramples on the US Constitution. This is what governmental overreach looks like, “freedom” folks. Time to wake up. Your freedoms are being trampled. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
