My fellow Kentuckians, we need to stop this bill!

Kudos to WV judges for standing up!

“I want everybody to understand — the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for ICE to be doing this . . . You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.” Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ruralorganizing.substack.com/p/the-americ...

We cannot stand idly by while rogue ICE agents ravage our communities, brutalize families, and kill our neighbors. Our bill sends a powerful message to everyone in America—citizen or not—that when ICE agents break the law, they should and will be held accountable.

Hell, yes!

Consider yourselves warned!

“Trump’s claim that Venezuela has stolen oil and land from the U.S. is baseless,” said Francisco Rodríguez, a Venezuelan economist at the University of Denver.

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings. “It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale. This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading: www.thenerdreich.com/joe-lonsdale...

The Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy document has the intellectual incoherence “of the angry autodidact, the anti-vaxxer activist, and the anti-Biden conspiracy theorist,” Eliot A. Cohen argues, but it is still revelatory:
