Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Why Abrego Garcia? Why now? Here’s why. Trump’s deportation numbers are actually less than Biden’s, even with all this noise. The high profile cruelty and defiance of court orders is a distraction tactic to cover up his low deportation numbers. With Trump it’s always a sleight of hand Ponzi scheme.

The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule. Watch this clip from @podsaveamerica.crooked.com:

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

How in the fuck do we live in a world where so many Americans care deeply about the Constitutional amendments which promise them the right to bear arms but not at all about the Constitutional amendments which promise them the right to due process under the law? #NewsCorpse

Occasionally, Trump has a 24-hour period in which his authoritarian vision comes into sharp relief. Take yesterday, for example: - threatens CBS - makes excuses for Putin - sidesteps court rulings - endorses sending Americans to Salvadoran prison - punishes Harvard www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

90% of those Donald Trump sent to a death camp in one of the poorest countries on Earth have NO CRIMINAL RECORD in the United States or anywhere else. So what distinguishes any of us from those poor souls now imprisoned for life in a disgusting gulag run by a sadistic dictator?

Short 🧵 After yesterday's sickening Oval Office meeting and hot-mic capture about El Salvador building more prisons for "homegrowns" (note that dehumanizing language), it was rightly noted that concentration camps differ from prisons because they work outside of the judicial system.

MIT following Harvard's lead here

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

“The home-growns are next,” Trump said. “You’re going to need to build about five more places.” "And in the background, you can hear laughter. Cold-blooded, justice-defying, humanity- rejecting laughter." open.substack.com/pub/america/...

El Salvador is a very small impoverished country that consistently produces refugees and organized crime, Bukele is a very wealthy man that’s pushed for cryptocurrency. Bought over 34 new luxury properties. Crypto is favoured by organized crime to launder money. You do the math.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.
