i now see why ICE have been hiding their faces so much

Proving just how gross Trump can be, his NJ golf club received a 32 out of 100 on its health inspection—making it the lowest score for a business in the county. The 18 violations are another reminder that everything Trump touches turns disgusting. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/yesterday-...

Why is the American president repeating Russian threats without comment?

This meme is spot on!

1. Trump and his Republican allies say their budget cuts are targeted at waste, fraud, and abuse But Trump's new 1,223-page budget proposal, quietly released on Friday afternoon, reveals the real target: Poor children

As another professor of Holocaust and genocide studies, Raz Segal, put it: “Can I name someone whose work I respect who doesn’t think it’s genocide? No.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

BREAKING: National Public Radio (NPR) hits Donald Trump with a massive lawsuit after he issues an authoritarian executive order targeting public broadcasting funding — a blatant violation of the First Amendment… Good. 😎✨

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

Aaaaand I think we're done here #TACO

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of “O.C.G.,” an immigrant deported without a credible fear assessment to Mexico, where he had previously been raped and targeted for being gay. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

JUST IN: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from removing medical research papers from an HHS database over references to transgender people. It is unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination, he rules. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Interesting rundown of the legal questions surrounding ICE kidnapping people while in plain clothes with facial coverings, including a note that officers are carrying blank administrative warrants to fill out AFTER arrests.

“Many of us have fought and bled for our cases to be there,” said former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. “This library holds our past, our present and our future. This has our history about who we are and what we are about.” // Story by @thenoellephillips.bsky.social

USA is officially a Dictatorship

Trump’s New Partner For Crypto Venture Is KuCoin — An Exchange Banned In U.S., Fined $300 Million For Money Laundering

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

NEW: Former Real World cast member Duffy is the second cabinet secretary to have sold stock shortly before a Trump tariff announcement. Last week, @propublica.org reported Pam Bondi sold at least $1M worth of Trump Media shares on “Liberation Day.” By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social @bxroberts.org

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

As Donald Trump leads America down the path to becoming a failed state, we have lost 24/7 weather services in parts of the country. Along with massive deterioration in Social Security services caused by Musk, American decline at the hands of billionaires couldn't be more stark.

This is the way.

OUR FINANCIAL IMPLOSION CONTINUES #Moody’s has downgraded the United States’ debt, stripping the country of its last perfect #credit rating. The move could rattle financial markets next week and push up interest rates. Moody’s held a perfect credit rating for the United States -- AAA -- since 1917.

As Trump wipes doo-doo off the bottom of his shoe with the Constitution; openly accepts billions of dollars in bribes; grifts for more from American companies and law firms who hand him checks as they curl into a fetal position, mainstream media want to set the agenda, and it’s ... Biden.
