Oh smart jacket how did humanity get so far in dumb mute clothes? How did we philosophize without the output of our socks? Design ships without a shoutout from a shirt? And now, will my overcoat override me?

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

If you commit Medicaid/Medicare fraud (even imaginary fraud), Republicans will try to punish you. Unless you do it on an HUGE scale, then they will reward you.

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people. They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.

Sooooooo. Donald Trump gave Peter Thiel and Palantir a massive contract for mass surveillance of all of us with our data that Elon Musk stole with DOGE? And all those “big brother” screeching MAGA folks are rolling over and taking it? 🙄

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

Karoline Leavitt said the Trump regime is pushing for the trades while defunding Harvard. Now, they’re defunding Job Corps. They aren’t advocating for trades people. They want uneducated folks with no skills to work for any wage and any condition www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

It happens every few generations: It’s what drove Confederate oligarchs to attempt succession in the 1860s; robber barons to murder union organizers at the turn of the 20th century; and it’s why wages have stagnated since the Reagan revolution. The rise of greedy oligarchs. https://trib.al/8h7BsDK

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters. What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

The speed and totality with which white “Evangelical Christians” embraced immoral cruelty to other humans reminds me of ….. their fidelity to Slavery and Jim Crow. Same shit. Different hue. Evil bred in the bone.

I’m devastated to hear my friend of 50 years has passed. Just spoke to her 2 days ago & she was her usual feisty, hysterically funny self. This is a hard one. I was her 1st house guest in her new home in 1975 & helped her paint her NYC apartment. Just heartbroken. So hard to lose old friends.💔💔💔

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?
