A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Beginning July 7th, join me for SO, WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!, a week-long video series on how to have agency and efficacy in the middle of the madness.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

🦋 BREAKING: National Guard storm peaceful protesters Shooting nonlethal rounds & dragging away a protester outside the Federal Detention Centre in downtown Los Angeles There were no signs of any violence or abuse prior to the incident 🦋

Pentagon rules sharply limit US Marines and National Guard activity in Los Angeles, prohibiting arrests, surveillance, and other customary police work. Here's what federal troops can (and can't do) while deployed in LA as ICE protests ramp up.

AP reports >> Photos of immigration protests spreading across US as Trump mobilizes National Guard. apnews.com/photo-galler...

What's needed in LA is de-escalation & for Trump to return California National Guard control to the state ASAP. And for $134 million, we could feed more than half of the 140,000 Pennsylvanians who would lose SNAP because of the Republicans’ #ReverseRobinHood budget.

Judge: "Return the National Guard control back to California." Trump: "No... and soon as my Big Beautiful Bill passes the Senate and I sign it into law, you won't be able to make me." *raspberry* That's where we are in the People's Republic of America.

ICE got fancy hotel in Pasadena (until protestors got them kicked out) ICE gets fancy pay and BBB wants to give them $40,000 bonuses. National Guard gets shit pay and to sleep on the floor. worth considering and discussing disparity in compensation and treatment of US Military versus ICE--

YET, ON J6, WHILE OUR CAPITOL POLICE WERE LITERALLY BEING KILLED, beaten, bear-sprayed, spat on FOR MANY HOURS by Trump's brainwashed radicalized MAGA Cult Cunts, Trump - who was the ONLY ONE with authority to call National Guard - REFUSED TO DEPLOY THE GAURD for fear it would end HIS INSURRECTION.

Occasionally, Trump and his team have a 24-hour period that makes an authoritarian vision clear. From yesterday: - Trump talks up Newsom's arrest - Hegseth hedges on honoring court rulings - Noem to “liberate” LA - Padilla manhandled, cuffed - Trump touts “remigration,” scrambles to federalize Guard

The judge who returned command of California's National Guard to Newsom yesterday, which is now on appeal, couldn't rule on the Marines because they hadn't been deployed yet. Now, they're there. www.huffpost.com/entry/immigr...

Trump issued another statement saying ‘if you spit, we will hit’ giving the militarized National Guard permission to use physical violence against peaceful protestors. This rhetoric is similar with ‘when the looting starts, the shooting starts.’ Be prepared, peaceful, and safe out there! 💙

At noon PT, a company of 200 Marines will be stationed at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles, taking over for National Guard troops there, Major Gen. Scott Sherman told reporters.

“Los Angeles and cities around the nation are bracing for ‘No Kings’ protests ahead of Trump’s military parade after an appeals court paused the National Guard ruling.”

The juxtaposition was jarring As Senator Padilla was being abused and arrested Kristi Noem said the military and National Guard “are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and..burdensome leadership..this governor and mayor have placed on this country” www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Delaney Hall, the ICE detention center in Newark, needs to be shut down. GEO Group can't run a detention center competently. They put people in an unsafe building after refusing to secure a current certificate of occupancy. Now we learn they aren't feeding detainees.

Representative McIver was criminally charged because she tried to inspect the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark It’s been reported that 4 immigrants have escaped from this facility Don’t be shocked if Trump, Kristi Noem or Tom Homan try to somehow link McIver with this incident

Donald Trump failed to persuade a federal appeals court to reconsider the $5 million verdict won by E. Jean Carroll after a jury found that he sexually abused and defamed the former magazine columnist in the 1990s. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social I luv u and ty for your work 🙏 - but could you please call vandalism vandalism and not violence. Calling vandalism violence feeds a certain narrative. 🙏

Is this going to be a military coup in D.C??? The military in California?? Everywhere soon? Like June 13? 👀 #anonymous @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @senjeffmerkley.bsky.social

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens. After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

Carl Sagan speaking at MIT in 1987 on lowering our C02 emissions. Apply these words to any technological problem our world faces today and it holds up.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. When we fight, we win.

Thank you to everyone who read my tribute to Bode and has offered condolences and kind words of support.

Not only was the promise not kept, it’s like it never happened. We get it, there aren’t enough votes to pass real reform. Most of us are pragmatic—but to just drop it completely? To stop even talking about it, like it’s been erased? That’s the part that hits the hardest for me.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris, speaking in Australia, warns of the dangers of repeating the global mistakes of the 1930s, emphasizing the importance of international alliances and trust. The speech ended with a standing ovation.
