San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

The Solicitor General of the Dept. of Labor is responsible for enforcing labor laws. Who is Trump’s pick for the position? The author of Project 2025’s labor chapter — which called for gutting labor laws, limiting OT pay, and weakening unions. The “pro-worker” president...

Senator Ossoff speaking the truth. We need real action

Making America poorer again: each US $1 million invested by the NIH in health research generates about $2.5 million in economic activity. NIH funding produced $94 billion in new economic activity and supported more than 400,000 jobs in 2024 alone. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) says the Congressional Budget Office undercounted revenue projections by $1 trillion over five years, but even the CBO couldn’t predict a pandemic.

As a child, Shamsa Sharawe was brutally cut. As an adult, she underwent hours of reconstruction surgery. As a mother, she vowed to protect her daughter from female genital cutting. And now as a social media influencer, she is persuading others to do the same. trib.al/z8NU9U3

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

If you can’t spare a room, fill a pillar. #booksky #books #design #writingcommunity

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Lots of people asking about my plans for the 2028 election. I have a new, radical two-step process I intend to deploy: 1. Vote for my preferred candidate in the primary 2. Vote for whichever dem wins the primary in the general

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

A reminder, in case you need one, that women are incredible athletes

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

Statement from Buona Forchetta about the ICE raid last night. 💔

Who will tell the president what the Constitution requires? Certainly not Attorney General Bondi. And certainly not this nominee for the Office of Legal Counsel.

Disturbing reports from courthouses across California. If someone is doing what they were supposed to and attending their court hearing, this is not the answer. We need real solutions to our broken immigration system, not just fear, intimidation and family separation.

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

✔️ Shouldn't be too much to ask 🫣

Jake Tapper can go suck eggs.

Deregulation. Privatization. Tax cuts. Free trade. Stagnant pay for most. A soaring stock market for the top. That’s the legacy of neoliberalism. Don’t buy revisionist attempts to rehabilitate it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-tragic-history-of-neoliberalism

There are 7,591 words in the U.S. Constitution. Not one is "bible", "Jesus", "Judeo", "Christian" or "God". Separation of church and state guarantees ALL Americans the right to practice ANY religion. Or none. Which part of "religious freedom" is not as clear as a church bell?

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

A Constant Theme From That Political Party….

Elon Musk did not leave the Trump administration. He's making a sleight-of-hand show of leaving the Trump administration while still being very much part of it behind closed doors, and yet, reporters who should know better continue to put out shit like this uncritically.

BREAKING: Texas passed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. We will be suing.

Turns out, judges agree.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.
