NEWS: US private employers shed 32,000 jobs in November, according to the latest ADP report. That’s 4 months of job losses in the past 6 months. Small businesses are being hit hardest in the Trump economy. Most industries are seeing layoffs.

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed." Helpful response by @eric-reinhart.com in @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2015...

CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

We’re in the phase where Americans, press included, should be considering all news originating with the government as propaganda first. Its institutional tendency is to evade good-faith dialogue with the public.

This is more like it. These dangerous times call for aggressive responses.

This is straight up horrifying. Absolutely unconscionable, not to mention unlawful. The administration should be sent to the Hague for crimes against humanity.

Pure evil to torment innocent people like this for no damn reason.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

That's nearly 4% of the American people who will lose their health insurance.

Listen to @warren.senate.gov! If you want to keep your healthcare, #KillTheBill! 🚫

Speaking quite frankly, this is a man admitting his only real policy is to obliterate immigrant populations even if that destroys living conditions across the US. Fun!

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things. Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

"…Between 2015 and 2020" This is a GAO report, so it took time to compile, so it doesn't go up to the present day. So I guess we'll have to wait awhile to find out how many US citizens ICE deported 2020-2024, or this year alone. Post-Trump, going "back to normal" with ICE won't solve the problem

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

The right to peacefully protest is fundamental. It is in the Constitution. No president can nullify it—because in the United States of America, we have no kings. Join @indivisible.org and more this weekend to make your voice heard: www.nokings.org

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

I think we have our answer as to whether the military will side with the Constitution or with Trump. The illusion that we had that the American military was somehow different from that of other regimes has been washed away. They will all "just follow orders."

This is incredibly dangerous.

Trump is continuing to respond to a fake emergency by assiduously trying to create an actual emergency.

Kansas City, very last minute but oh so important! Share to as many as you can! #kansascity #ice

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

“This is a chilling statement. Even if it were a joke, it was clearly designed to make the public afraid to exercise its First Amendment rights to protest and to hold government officials, including LAPD officers, accountable for their actions.”

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

This sure doesn't look like an accident. LAPD needs to investigate and take action immediately.

➡️"At the start of Pride Month, Pete Hegseth ordered the Navy to strip Harvey Milk's name from a ship... A man who served with honor—erased to send a message. This is a deliberate insult to LGBTQ Troops and Americans that weakens our force and shreds the values we fight for." -VoteVets

People who are poor enough to be on Medicaid are incredibly unlikely to land jobs that offer employer-provided health insurance. They are far more likely to be gig workers. Only about 63% of working-age adults in the US have employer-provided health insurance.

you could wrap around the entire earth with every person who was going to lose health insurance under the republican plan

NEW FROM CBO: 16 MILLION people will lose their health care because of House Republicans. That’s the equivalent of stripping the entire populations of Pennsylvania and Mississippi of their health care. Just because Republicans aren't reading their own bill, doesn't mean we aren't. 🧵

to the detriment of every american for generations

❗️Well, now 🇺🇦Ukraine has the cards!

decades-long manhunt finally ends

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

Every time someone quotes one of my posts and states that Missourians deserve to go hungry because the state went for Trump, remember that over 40% of the state voted for Harris. And, children don’t vote. Children are the ones who will go hungry...
