Basically, Biden did what he promised, which was increase the audit rate on the rich, which is where the most consequential tax evasion occurs. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u...

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday. They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials. THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

A crazy item from my collection I have never shared before that captures an incredible moment in history: An original “contact sheet” of the negatives from Kennedy’s WH photographer Cecil Stoughton taken in Air Force one at Love Field in Dallas on 11/22/63, 128 minutes after JFK was assassinated.

Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

Whether he's accepting a luxury plane from Qatar or auctioning off access to the White House through his family's crypto schemes, Trump is making clear that he's willing to sell his presidency for personal gain to the highest bidder. Kleptocracy in action.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

I can't help but feel we are rapidly approaching the point where attempts to disappear individuals, hold them indefinitely, and brutalize protesters is going to be met with retaliatory violence. The indicators are all there and the chance for wild, paradigm-changing clashes is growing.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people
