A note on JD Vance's repulsive response to the deportation of a Salvadoran in "error": The whole point of his stunt is to show that Trump feels free to remove people even when the law *doesn't* justify it. I spoke to the man's lawyer. Absolutely hair raising stuff: newrepublic.com/article/1934...

If the federal government is decreasing taxpayer-funded services and agencies, then why are taxes to support the federal government increasing? Because they're stealing it for themselves.

I read a while ago the M.O. of this WH to do a fuck up, lie, walk it back, then do absolutely nothing to fix it is standard operating procedure of regimes like Russia. Obvious crimes, bold face lies, double dog dares for anyone to do anything about it. Trump admin literally feels untouchable.

I appreciate Booker's speech, Bernie's rallies, and Boasberg's indignation; but honestly, at this point, anything less than working all day and night to put every one of these terrorists in prison for crimes against humanity is less than.

Fund were to distribute thru loans, grants, tranches, tax-cuts thru Depts of Commerce+Treas. There were no "deals" to be made. $ was to disburse with accountability via legitimate agencies. Trump will take already gifted funds & hand them over to who he wants thru grifting quid pro quo.

Having heard of corruption from the old who were there, having seen the corruption through middle-aged eyes, is it no wonder that the young, suffering its long-term effects, want to burn it all down?

For-profit prison industry, using predatory bail system + court-fines, & the school to jail pipeline, has always been a slavery system. They'll do it to everyone else, too, via debt harassment, defunding, immigration, &, of course, what made all this legal - bribes to legislators & judges.

There have been some cool advances in Ai for medical and scientific purposes, but it feels like, predictably, it always fails in anything related to art and humanities.

Good read. Good info. Free.

Is there any chance the Press can stop calling it "Trump's" economy? It's OUR economy, and he's fucking stealing it.

There's a lot of cool art on here. Take a detour. Check it out.

People stop suggesting violence and guns as a response to everything challenge - level impossible. Y'all are really recommending immigrants act like Rambo when we're being kidnapped for writing articles. Grow the fuck up.
