Texas Republicans passed a bill banning books that are ‘inconsistent with community values’ in schools — whatever that means. The law would put school boards, not librarians, in charge of deciding what books are allowed in libraries.

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

MAGAs know women vote +10 points for Dems over GOP, so rather than try to attract female voters with better ideas, the SAVE Act tries to ban women from voting altogether If your path to ‘win’ is voter suppression, it isn’t democracy you support, it’s dictatorship www.qasimrashid.com/p/magas-are-...

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.
