Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

A really chilling implication here is that if Trump keeps doing speeches on military bases, and commanding officers continue to tell soldiers to opt in or out of these events (as they did here), then there will be lists by base and unit of which soldiers support the administration & which don't.

“IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”—trump. Yet he pardoned more the 1500 violent criminals who attacked me and my colleagues.

I'm tracking the states Trump has attacked or is about to attack in his war against America. As he says the attacks are solely motivated by policy, we should not expect to see any trends. 🟦 = Democratic 🟥 = MAGA 💥 🟦 California 💥 🟦 Illinois 💥 🟦 New York 💥 🟦 Pennsylvania 💥 🟦 Virginia 💥 🟦 Washington

I think we’ve become so inured to this stuff that it’s easy to lose sight of just how quickly epistemic collapse has accelerated. Ten years ago, the media was wringing its hands over social media misinformation and what it meant that Trump had the gall to lie. Now, the lies control health policy.

I don't need to hear another word from anyone defending the NYT ever again and I have to assume the talented reporters and writers employed there will understand. This is Jenny McCarthy shit. Shameful and pathetic. Both sidesing scientists vs the stupidest people on earth. National Enquirer shit.

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

Watching Trump try to intimidate California (world's 4th largest economy, huge net donor to DC) raises an inevitable question. What if CA, and New England, and the mid-Atlantic, (and TX, for that matter) decided they could succeed just fine on their own? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Putin would never have dared to invade Ukraine under Trump's watch but he's...perfectly happy to bomb civilians and refuse to engage in real diplomacy under Trump? Why would that be?

⚠️ The progression from the “white genocide” narrative to calls by a sitting GOP congressman for killing immigrants en masse if they cannot be deported has taken less than a month. (This is not just rhetorical overstatement by Collins. This is what the far-right radicalization arc looks like.)

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.
