Today, Charles Gasparino of FOX said something very unusual. He said that "Wall street executives are finding out that a trade deal between India and US is close." For weeks now, I have been reporting how it seems Wall Street has been getting inside information regarding trade deals, and trading.

I wrote about how we must stand and fight against the threat of eugenics. Fueled by white nationalism and scientific racism, these beliefs are factually wrong and ethically abhorrent. This fight includes supporting efforts to diversify our workforce & science. To stop now would be a deep betrayal.

Russia is conducting attacks in conjunction with U.S. pressure on Ukraine. It’s a coordinated effort. Trump’s accommodation drives Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian cities to compel Ukraine to capitulate. Trump may not realize… doesn’t care, but his embrace of Putin/Russia is fueling Russian attacks.

The first question we need to ask is why Trump wants to keep Abrego García in El Salvador. A normal administration would want to retrieve someone wrongly sent to a foreign gulag. I believe part of the reason I that Trump wants a fight with the courts in which he can defy their orders.

It’s not about whether or not the Civil Rights Act is literally gone. The point is that he’s not going to enforce it. He will bring in a new wave of white authoritarianism, with a Congress that will settle for tweeting “That’s illegal!” While doing little to nothing.

This Administration wasn’t going to bring or enforce the Fair Housing Act, Title VII, ECOA or any other civil rights statute in any case. But ordering the review & presumably fed withdrawal of all existing DI cases and consent decrees….that’s bad. *btw disparate impact is not unlawful.

Read the whole thread, again young white women are in danger and they do not understand exactly how far back white men want to roll their rights. White supremacy in church pants is still white supremacy. They will go after all of us, but the slavery they fantasize about most is young white women's

Women and girls are literally under attack and the narrative that men and boys are struggling in comparison to them is part of that attack. Their “struggle” as it’s so often harped on is that women and girls aren’t just bending the knee to them in all spheres of life

This should be one of the biggest corruption scandals in our lifetimes. If Biden or Obama ever did this, they'd be calling for their arrest, and their immediate impeachment and removal. Trump should be impeached and removed.

Trump appears confused here. He is suing Perkins Coie in Florida in a case before Judge Middlebrooks that has been dismissed and resulted in sanctions against him and Alina Habba. Perkins Coie is suing HIM before Judge Howell over his retaliatory executive order.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

OMG. Must-watch🔥 The brilliant @jimmykimmel.com eviscerates Hegseth, saying: "The Defense Secretary is defenseless—you leak so much, you should be wearing Depends to work." Hegseth desperately tries to justify his incompetence, but he is circling the drain and knows it. Resign, Leaky-Pete!

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

For all the concerns the conservatives express about schools "indoctrinating" kids with pro-gay propaganda, the actual books in this case are extremely vanilla children's books that happen to have LGBTQ characters. They are only objectionable if you find the existence of gay people objectionable.

How are things going with respect to the discovery before Judge Xinis in Abrego García? Well, the government describes as a “false premise” that it “has been ordered to facilitate Abrego García’s release.” (That’s literally what #SCOTUS held.) pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/84/578815/09...
