"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

18 U.S.C. § 242, also known as Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, is a federal criminal statute that makes it a crime for anyone acting under the color of law (or pretending to be law enforcement) to willfully deprive a person of rights protected by the U.S. Constitution or federal laws.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

Wow

“We have observed approximately 90% of the workers targeted for terminations due to a perceived association with diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are women or nonbinary,” said an attorney representing federal staffers. By @davidmcswane.bsky.social

Interesting new paper that very much goes against the idea that older trees stop sequestering carbon. "Delaying harvests of healthy large trees in these forests would likely enhance wood production and undoubtedly carbon sequestration and storage." 🌎🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We desperately need some high profile convictions of ICE/HSI personnel for wrongful arrests. Without accountability their lawlessness is metastasizing. This seems like a good place to start.

#MomSky Republicans need to stop their obsession with culture wars and help protect our children. Gun violence thrives in ignorance.

Protests were held in towns across Western North Carolina on Saturday as part of the nationwide “No Kings" protests. www.bpr.org/bpr-news/202...

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/fOpI1NU

States should be arresting ICE agents for multiple state felonies.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

I wrote something for the Warriors of Ash newsletter - “DEI for Warriors” #HEMA #DEI

Why don’t we put the energy and force into stopping real crimes like this that we put into fighting pretend crimes like immigration? Just a suggestion

Folks, CBO estimate of the distributional effect of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is out: www.cbo.gov/system/files... It's grotesque

MEMPHIS: “I’M UNDERAGE!” ICE officers forcefully grab a young girl after saying they don’t need a warrant to enter. Trump’s Gestapo busts into homes, grabs anyone? When do police protect people from blatantly unconstitutional raids? @mayorpaulyoung www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bih...

Lawrence: Musk says he 'went too far' attacking Trump, but not killing the world's poorest children www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Dismissed FAA staffer Ronicsa Chambers said her team members — five Black women and one white man with a disability — were told they would be reassigned but remain without work. “As far as we know, we’re the only ones still on administrative leave.”

What if we went this hard after real crimes, like tax evasion, wage theft and bribery, instead of pretend crimes, like immigration?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

Sometimes I think the “this is just a distraction” crowd just can’t handle the chaos, and that’s their way of cooping. But this is our reality. All of it. We don’t get to pick one crisis at a time. Walk and chew gum.

In this special edition of Talking Climate, I take a fresh look at the rise of climate doomerism—why it’s spreading, what the science says, and why giving up is the only thing that will guarantee our failure. Read the newsletter at the link below!

The Onion hitting us with the actual headlines again 🔥

Now we know what Trump fired all of the military lawyers. Marines and all people in the military have a legal responsibility to reject and resist illegal orders.

With the departure of Musk, will there be an interim appointment to the office of Largest Campaign Donor?

I feel like it should be a bigger deal that ICE arrested the leader of the largest union in California.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Gavin Newsom has called out president tRump in recent interview, as incompetent, egotistical, a threat to this country, and a STONE COLD LIAR as riots continue in the LA area over the deportation of “illegal” immigrants. #politics #news #breakingnews #news #currentevents

Was just wondering where our protest songs were.

Misgovernment by AI receipts

If you are someone who has sworn to uphold the constitution, and who is being sent to LA, is not the point of that oath that you uphold the rights and provisions therein? Is not the point of that oath to oppose and to not be gestapo? Please do not be complicit with human traffickers.

Big Oil has long understood—with shocking accuracy—that their fossil fuel products cause “catastrophic” climate harms with “serious consequences for man’s survival." Leon v. ExxonMobil is one step toward holding them accountable for condemning us to climate catastrophe. https://trib.al/WwN0I4R
