Trump's attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which have included gutting its workforce and dropping enforcement actions, have cost consumers nearly $20B in the last year alone. It's a new golden age for corporate crooks. And Trump is happily letting them rip us off.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Honestly, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, it is *such* a shitty look... (I'd call you out, too, @schumer.senate.gov, but you've already proved utterly pointless...) #AmericanGestapo #DeFactoDictatorship 👇 👀

Irksome that this coverage is anchored within the plight of a privileged white man, nevertheless... #AmericanGestapo #DeFactoDictatorship 👇 🤨

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Over to you, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social ... #TaxTheRich #BreakTheOligarchy #PrimaryCollaborators 👇 🤨

The relentless permeation of the baggy-blue is heartbreaking. #WearARespirator #VirusFreeAirNow

A #CovidHotboxSelfie of a guy who really looks to be high risk for #LongCovid and other sequelae. Our sad reality is that the messaging by mal-informed individuals is outpacing any #CovidIsAirborne guidance from the WHO by about 100,000:1. #VirusFreeAirNow

if you are looking at Trump's plans to steal the '26 midterm and saying to yourself "Trump can't do that" you must ask yourself "who will stop him?" and if your answer is the military, you are *also* predicting a coup to end democracy in the United States, you're just predicting a different coup

Point of order: it is greedy PEOPLE who use their wealth as a bludgeon to exploit the masses. #TaxTheRich #BreakTheOligarchy

“People used to be getting healthier year on year. Now we're getting sicker year on year. The difference is Covid.”

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

@delauro.house.gov is my Representative in Congress. I like and support her. But this is a serious mistake. She is caught a trap in which leadership always sinks into legislative compromise. It’s the myopic electoralism @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social have warned about. 1/

*largest concentration camps... #AmericanGestapo #DeFactoDictatorship

Just reading about the fall of an empire due to plague… In case you were under any illusions as to how disease and irresponsible leadership can destroy a nation or empire.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You should impeach him. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #DeFactoDictatorship

Bettering the country with the most obscene wealth disparity in democratic history (or any other #KleptoFascist theocracy) isn't much of an achievement... Also, we need #VirusFreeAirNow, Corey, if we're to avoid #LongCovid, so we can enjoy any of that extra $28k...

There's an entire separate #Epstein scandal beyond the pedophilia stuff, in what it reveals about the country-club network of oligarchs and their hangers-on making sure the money and power stays inside the club. It's been clear the game is rigged for decades, but here's a window into exactly how.

Hey, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, question for you: if "moderate republicans" introduce articles, will all of you vote to impeach? I'd guess "yes", which begs a further question: why would you allow *any* @housedemocrats.bsky.social to vote more #$S for his #AmericanGestapo? #PrimaryCollaborators

Gonna call it: these are the #LongCovidOlympics. 😕 #VirusFreeAirNow

Americans are appalling.

#MalignantConservatism.

Are Olympic commentators not paid enough to do the 20 minutes of research it takes to figure out how to pronounce the names of the athletes? 🤔 🤷🏻‍♀️

#PrimaryCollaborators.

Same demographic as the target population for the #AmericanGestapo, but not being detained, because that would disrupt their exploitation at the hands of trump-voters... #MalignantConservatism #DeFactoDictatorship

So, "moderate republicans", how is it he remains unimpeached? 🤔 #PedoDictator #MalignantConservatism

Btw, the weight of the responsibility for transporting our country's great treasure — ourbchildren — to and from school everyday amounts to... minimum wage. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Need to talk about the millions who didn't bother to show up to keep the psychopath from power, as well as the #complicitMSM, whose relentless euphemizing of #AmericanFascism cemented the apathy. #DeFactoDictatorship

The question for adam, of course, is that this was trump in 2016, and the trajectory to this #DeFactoDictatorship was always obvious, so what is he willing to tell us about himself to explain how he came to support the #PedoDictator in the first place? #MalignantConservatism

The Epstein horrors have made something clear that has hidden in plain sight and helps explain fascism and our present crisis. The Right Wing is motivated by a desire to hurt children and make sure their lives and futures are destroyed. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/hurting-ch...

8/ For more on what kids are experiencing inside the Dilley detention center, read the full story by reporter @micarosenberg.bsky.social:

7/ Read the rest of the letters:

6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

3/ “I have never been separated from my siblings and its honestly sad because they are little and they need their mom and sister.” From 14-year-old Ariana V.V, whose U.S.-citizen siblings are 2 and 5 years old. Detained for 45+ days

2/ “I miss my school and my friends I feel bad since when I came here to this Place, because I have been here too long.” From 9-year-old Susej F, detained for 50+ days

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. 🧵

It’s so weird how ICE hasn’t stopped crime.

trump and putin decided to win the war by freezing millions of Ukrainians to death this winter and Europeans are simply standing by and watching worried about angering either trump and putin this is where their appeasement of monsters has gotten us

Some kids transferred from one school to another. Word got back. “Someone wears a a good mask full-time here too!” #OneOfTheTwo 😷

This is excellent news, both regarding this specific case, and in the bigger picture where it continues building the precedent that negligence that kills people should be punished. Expect public health and infection control docs with blood on their own hands to line up to defend the care home.

@rbreich.bsky.social So, yeah, #VirusFreeAirNow is part of a winning strategy for progressives. (Btw, do you know anyone who'd be willing to run the numbers on the economics of #VirusFreeAir? We already know the cost of preventable respiratory illness is kind of huge...) #Solidarity

We wouldn’t have this in NB right now without our fall 2024 election. For us the key was getting clean air in schools into election promises. Very very glad that the opposition took this seriously and then won, forming @govnb.bsky.social 🔥🔥

Donald Trump won this district in Louisiana by 13 points in 2024. The Democrat just crushed a Republican extremist in this district by 24 points. Folks, that’s a 37 point swing to the left. We can compete everywhere and win anywhere. Let’s keep this up!

As corporations shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many have said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

We're at "deport Americans who don't look like me," even when one of them is a fictional character... you know, a stuffed toy...

"in simple words - plasma is no longer immunologically identical to the pre-pandemic era, even in clinically healthy people. A key detail. IL-32 is not a cytokine storm marker. It reflects chronic, silent inflammation/immune reprogramming. That’s exactly why this finding matters." OMG 😲

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition. This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.
