Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

I’ve released a report on 130 potential acts of corruption that benefit Elon Musk or his companies—one for every day he was a “Special Government Employee” in the Trump administration. These examples fit the Trump agenda: billionaires win, families lose.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

ICE forged his signature so that they could deport him. Add that to the fact that the story began because the ICE agent was a road rager angry at someone who honked at him. www.masslive.com/news/2025/06...

It's outrageous and yet another level of cruelty for ICE to arrest a Milford high school student. As Senator @beccarausch.bsky.social said, "Putting high school students in shackles does not make anyone safer." Large Latino communities are particularly facing trauma. www.wcvb.com/article/milf...

Tmp totally wants to be able to do this too - “Kremlin financiers will track every digital ruble transaction in real time, granting authorities the power to block citizens’ accounts without a court order and automatically deduct taxes, fines, and other charges”

Periodic reminder:Substack profits off Nazi pages bc they don't want to be "in the censorship business,"but they also won't host adult content,so they ARE in the "censorship business." They just think Nazis are better than pornographers. This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.
