A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka: ICE agents, during a warrantless raid, detained undocumented residents as well as citizens. “One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.” www.northjersey.com/story/news/e...

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

HIS NAME IS PAULIE’S BROTHER!

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.
