"Imam Fouad’s death is not an isolated tragedy, it is the predictable outcome of a violent detention system that continues to cage people for profit and punishment."

Jeffries: This is the same group of people who raced back to Washington so they could enact the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Phang: I call it the big bullshit bill. Jeffries: You’re a little more direct than what we’ve been politely calling it—but you ain’t wrong. You ain’t wrong.

Nassau County New York Adopt A Corner

i don’t think i’ll ever get over how we’re sending people to torture prison camps in el salvador STILL and those in charge of CBS want us to pretend it’s an old story that’s been resolved. people are still being tortured!

This administration is trying to kill us.

Ben Meiselas with Meidas Canada head Charlie Angus discuss how Canada is preparing for a possible Word War 3 with Trump and the United States as a hostile invading force. youtu.be/sYzkruwYPkU?...

5/ Dignity doesn’t come from pretending the game is fair. It comes from naming rigged systems accurately—then demanding structural change.

2/ If effort alone determined outcomes, outcomes wouldn’t cluster by race, zip code, inheritance, or healthcare access. Patterns expose systems. Myths obscure them.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Well….I am feeling you….the morning really starts now.

This calls for another Santana song….get the blood flowing…

The reason I ask is because, like most culture wars bullshit, it is just that - culture wars bullshit that was pre-arranged. Nothing organic about it Everything you see and hear around this needs to be questioned and verified

I’m shocked.

Bonta: The Ninth Circuit refused to stay the order. And so, for the first time in six months, we have no National Guard deployed on the streets of California. Popok: Have they been taken off the streets? Bonta: They have. It was required as of, I believe, Monday.

Jasmine Crockett: “Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked out pages counted as complying with the law— I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next level”

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

😢🚨✊ “This document proves if the FBI had done its job in 1996, Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking operation could have been stopped at the outset... the FBI’s negligence allowed Epstein to continue abusing hundreds of girls and young women for nearly 25 more years.” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Good morning, and Festive Yule ! Be as honest as you can, start with yourself. I hope you all have a wonderful day !

New Jersey’s US Senator Andy Kim @kim.senate.gov, @newjerseyoag.bsky.social Matt Platkin, & @njcomptroller.bsky.social Kevin Walsh are fighting corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse. We got together to talk about how good governance requires all of us to fight back together. youtu.be/4avhwpQv2L4?...

Yep, it's pretty fucking gross that the collective reaction of the entire Liberal party to this terrorist attack has been: "We are SO back"

Someone should ask Josh who was in Government when asio dismissed the younger shooter as a person of concern. Or who pushed to make it harder to prosecute antisemitic speech by trying to change Section 18C of Australia's Racial Discrimination Act against the wishes of the Jewish community.

@ronnisalt.bsky.social is one of Australia's most gifted writers. This is unarguably one of her most powerful and important pieces. Read it, share it, reflect upon it, and act for peace, compassion, empathy, and understanding. Thank you, @ronnisalt.bsky.social. theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

They even redacted Trump's name off of the Kennedy Center. They just put it up yesterday.

Without seeing all the unredacted files and resulting evidence I guess I must simply believe the victims and accept that all of the adults named trafficked and or assaulted the children.

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.

Pink Floyd…..Wish you were here….I have always loved this song. There is a personal story attached to this but suffice it to say…this brought me up from a deep crash….and help set me back on the road…

Garcia: Well, first, I think we should be very clear: This is absolutely breaking the law. They have not produced actually what they were required to do, which was all the files by today in a way that was searchable for the public…

Garcia: This is not a real release. This is continuing a coverup that's been going on now for months.

And…going to end this play list with one of the best constructed songs on this list…..love this….have a wonderful day !

We did it! We got enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Imagine how furious Mike Johnson is going to be when we pass this! Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!

Well the Dodgers union busting worked again. I don’t know if I can continue working for this team. And I love this team. But they have treated us abysmally. I’m so heartsick right now.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right: Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection. America’s unions will keep fighting for them.
