I expect to have this done and out tomorrow. It's novella-length. I also believe it's the most revealing and shocking exposé ever on why Trump launched an attack on Iran that most Americans still don't realize we will be feeling the effects of for years to come, possibly via a return to war soon.

Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won't they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they're terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

Alexis traveled from NC to tell @SenThomTillis: Medicaid lets her daughter Kinsley live at home, not in a hospital. “Medicaid is a lifeline.” She’s not asking for charity—she’s fighting for her child. Senator, vote NO on cuts or face the people you’re hurting. #MedicaidSavesOurLives

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Help us cause some good trouble by doing a virtual Facebook “check-in” at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport today. The more people who check in, the harder it is for surveillance tools to track who’s actually there. It’s a simple but powerful way to show up and support from a distance.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details. Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Important reminder: This is in South Central LA. Notice how the ICE thugs pull up & go after a lone man. But when he locks himself in the house, they leave. It's like a sexual predator, looking for a child. These masked thugs are doing the same, hunting for people to kidnap.

Corporate journalism must change or die. The first changes need to be small—or change won't start at all. A good first step: correctly report that Mamdani is a democratic socialist and REFUSE TO PUBLISH any claim that he's a Socialist or Communist because that's false and therefore not newsworthy.

Absolutely right @asharangappa.bsky.social.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
