What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

let me get this straight, I pay for them out of my taxes. but they don't have to protect me or my property if they decide not to. but i do have to accept any form of violence they use against me, without resisting or i go to jail. why the fuck do we even have police? they are less than useless

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ProPublica reports that the U.S. knew most Venezuelan immigrants sent to CECOT had been convicted of no U.S. crimes before it labeled them terrorists/deported them. I wrote about this crisis – and why we're hosting a June 11 conversation with @andreapitzer.bsky.social and Erica Chenoweth on this.

“What’s our target?” “Several dishwashers and a prep cook.” “Damn. We’re gonna need body armor, night vision scopes and stun grenades for this one.” “…wait…” “IF IT BLEEDS WE CAN KILL IT.”

So now you need a loyalty oath to work for the federal government? Cute. We’ve served the public, not a party. But a new federal hiring plan suggests that might not be enough anymore. Check out our latest newsletter for all the details: bit.ly/3Fv7OaY
