Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers who cover their faces while conducting official business could face a misdemeanor charge in California under a new proposal. cnn.it/443mdTX

It's surreal to me that we're doing all of the 2002-2003 lead up to the iraq war, little dissent because Bibi started the war and he can't finish it without the US.

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

This is funny!!

ICE agents are making arrests inside Chicago's immigration court hallways again this morning. Reportedly three people detained so far after exiting their hearings.

If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.

Zohran is up. Keep going.

Wow. Just wow.

These events are by design. They are meant to saw fear into the population and anger... The resulting anger translates into protests which then will be used to justify invading cities with the Federalized National Guard and the actually military...

Of course it should be illegal. Public servants, paid by public funds, exercising authority over the public must be identifiable. How else would we be able to hold the account if there are questions about the manner with which they have discharged their responsibilities?

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

"Practically the entirety of the city is going about its business, blissfully unaware of what’s mainly taking place within a five-block radius." @ddayen.bsky.social reports from LA: prospect.org/justice/crie...

(Yes, some more of that please) As the late greatest racer on Earth Ken Miles would say!

What is wrong with @abcnews4.com ? Why is ABC embracing Fascism?

In the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, "people of all races and backgrounds are putting their bodies on the line to protect their friends, their neighbors, their family members from these arrests," says @jeanguerre.bsky.social. "It is a beautiful thing to see."

There is a leader in the middle east who's been in power for 16 of the last 17 years, purged the state's civil society of all opposition, openly called for the assassination of his rivals and cheered when it happened, and then put one of the assassins in his cabinet. Yes, it's Benjamin Netanyahu.

Surprise!

“Was it all bullshit?” Trump asked aides. I love that even Trump, the king of bullshitters, eventually realized that Musk had been bullshitting him on DOGE. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

1/ We got government data showing that the Trump administration knew the majority of Venezuelan men it sent to a prison in El Salvador had no criminal record in the U.S. - and that only a handful had been convicted of violent crimes - before calling them all terrorists and deporting them.

Pope Leo will address Chicagoans via video at a White Sox celebration next month. blockclubchi.co/4mAmiXE

The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

Authorities in El Salvador have arrested a prominent attorney critical of President Nayib Bukele, in a move criticized by rights groups who say it reflects an increasing trend of “authoritarianism” in the country.

Absolutely insane filing. The Trump government is arguing that a law firm is a national security threat because it was part of the lawsuit against the transgender military ban. We are just STEPS away from Russia-style designating LGBTQ+ orgs "extremist and terrorist organizations"

"New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court" The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, reports @premthakker.bsky.social

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Art of the Deal!!

I see lots of fellow leftists & pro-Palestine ppl celebrating at the seeming ‘rupture’ between Netanyahu & Trump. Folks, it’s Trump. Don’t pay attention to what he says; pay attention to what he does - & what Israel does with his support. Right now, it’s the starving of Gaza.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

When you look at the statements that were edited out of Trump’s Meet the Press interview that aired on TV, it is pretty rich that he’s suing 60 Minutes over edits to Harris. These are the parts that weren’t shown on air. meidasnews.com/news/what-tr...

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

Kennedy is conflating the use of cell lines from the 1960s to grow virus that is then purified and processed for vaccine development with injecting fetal tissue. It's an obscene, malicious, and willful distortion of reality meant to undermine essential vaccine uptake. He should be forced to resign.

Bezos caved faster than it took me to type that.

Dear god let this man cook.
