The CEO of Palantir, the Thiel-founded company that is collaborating with ICE and building a massive surveillance apparatus to track all Americans, is backing the Cuomo campaign. MAGA billionaires know a Republican can’t win in NYC, so they’ve bought a corrupt Democrat instead. Don’t. Rank. Cuomo.

It just gets worse and worse and worse. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/w...

Telling me "the subway is so dangerous now" is my immediate sign that you need your TV taken away and your news algorithm adjusted www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...?

The billionaire Palantir CEO —the company building a database to track Americans, and helping ICE abduct immigrants, who proudly admits that his company kills people… … is a Big Money Andrew Cuomo donor. You won’t be an opposition leader when you’re owned by the opposition.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Gift: Are ICE agents wearing masks due to increased assaults on them, or to avoid accountability? Phil Bump takes a deep dive into the data ICE is using to justify the masks. The data is murky. Assault is wrong, but I assert that the masks actually increase the risk of assaults. wapo.st/4l7a1ch

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

‪BREAKING: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out to abduct people, in unmarked cars, wearing masks and no uniforms or badges, protesters dump buckets of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they’re ICE for days afterward.

"These strong-arm tactics are meant to silence and intimidate people, but they only strengthen our conviction." Democrats argue the new flurry of arrests or handcuffing of elected officials is an attempt to silence dissent www.cbsnews.com/news/democra...

Brutal.

Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

Fraud = Elon Musk. Waste = SpaceX contracts.

We are in an information war. Social media platforms are terrain. This isn't hyperbole. They seized Twitter and it has done immeasurable damage. Bluesky is better defended, but they will attempt to seize it as well. Block on sight.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

Our Constitution is clear: Only Congress has the power to declare war. Yet, administrations too often bypass this fundamental check, plunging us into conflicts that cost countless lives, drain our resources, and destabilize entire regions. We cannot allow this to happen again.

Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

MacArthur Park, Los Angeles, 6/18 around 9:30am — Unidentified masked terrorists kidnapped an elderly homeless man off the street and bundled him into a private car with no license plate.

Asked about a possible U.S. attack on Iran, Trump said: “I like to make a final decision one second before." He thinks it's a damn game show. Spin the wheel and see whether millions of people die.

Hard to argue with that.

BREAKING @prri.org poll. My disturbing take: It’s virtually impossible to write a survey question about the treatment of immigrants that is too brutal for Republicans to support. 1) 8 in 10 Republicans support renditions of immigrants to foreign prisons without due process. prri.org/spotlight/ne...

Trump: "The Civil War -- it always seemed to me maybe that could've been solved without losing 600,000 plus people."

Reps. Nadler and Goldman barred from inspecting ICE holding area in NYC https://gothamist.com/news/reps-nadler-and-goldman-barred-from-inspecting-ice-holding-cells-in-nyc

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

This is not the answer the American public should feel any confidence in...

Ever since Tim McVeigh, US leaders have pretended all this right-wing domestic terrorism is made up of “lone wolves." They’re not. They’re foot soldiers. Violence like the Minnesota shooting is what Trump wants—he wants an opposition too scared to stop him. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-s-no...

Los Angeles has ~3,400 unhoused veterans- the most in the country. The number of active troops deployed to LA now exceeds that. Those troops are all being housed and sheltered in the city with your tax dollars, while the veterans' very existence on the street has been criminalized by city ordinance

Cuomo: "No law enforcement agent should be allowed to wear a mask to cover their face. Show the American people who you are if you're not ashamed."

I'm glad I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Otherwise, I'd think Trump was ginning up one international shitshow after another to distract us from the foul things he's doing at home.

Don’t forget to breathe. Breathe in for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. It signals safety to your nervous system and helps bring you back to centre. No matter the situation, we need to be regulated to think, to act, to not freeze.

It is heartless and cruel that Schumer for months has immediately labeled everything attacking real-life-honest-to-god lives as a “distraction.” It’s not. These are real people with real lives, people worthy of defense, whether it’s USAID or trans kids.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Keep in mind public land is land owned BY YOU, the taxpayer. Republicans want to sell it off so they can pay for their tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

Just another day in Donald Trump's America

A police officer in Cincinnati will not be charged in the fatal shooting of a teenager whose father is accused of intentionally striking and killing a sheriff’s deputy with his car the day after his son’s death.

Wow that’s wild so what about the cops who shot countless rounds at thousands of protesters

Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA. on.ft.com/4kSuQYO

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself. Ever

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Andrew Cuomo is bought and paid for by the same Super PACs he once called "dangerous."

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

NEW: The White House is signaling it may soon invoke a little-known and legally untested power to try to sidestep Congress and cancel billions of dollars in federal spending, as President Trump’s top aides look for novel ways to reconfigure the budget My latest: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

They dress like street thugs because they ARE street thugs
