i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Bartiromo to Bessent: "You're talking about $6 trillion in market value lost in a week. You're talking about CEOs now unwilling to give guidance for 2025. Is there a response or a backup plan for what seems to be corporate America shutting down corporate activity?"

What exactly are the charges? She said some hobble-gook about wacky obstruction and… yeah… this doesn’t really sound like a credible reason to “open an investigation” into. And announcing on Fox News & not by press release? Weird… 🤔

There is a credible side that Hamas is not technically a terrorist group, but a group that has done horrendous things to defend the Palestine ppl trapped in the Gaza Strip & suffering an apartheid. I would ask anyone to question who called them a terrorist and why in the first place.

I think(?) this looks like a good bill? I’m dubious bc republicans are pretty notorious for screwing over the needy. This article does bury the lead, tho- near the bottom they describe lower pay wage eligibility on these tax credits. #Iowa #HF962 www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

A Military parade for the POTUS birthday?🙄 If he does this- just DON’T GO, unless you’re a kool-aid drinker. Don’t protest where it’s at. I feel like they’ll use any excuse to hurt protesters & call for Martial Law- and besides, as anyone knows, he hates small crowds.

Trump is making plans for a military parade in DC on his 79th birthday. The last estimates for this fiasco were $92 million for the military and $21 million for public safety.
