The most terrifying news I have seen in a long time: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Oh well. You had a good run. Nothing lasts forever.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

The Tea Party reshaped American politics—and the left let it happen unchecked for years. No more. Democrats must stop playing defense and start taking power. No more weak candidates. No more excuses. This is the movement that wins—and keeps winning. jasonegenberg.substack.com/p/the-americ...

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.
