Ford should have never hosted the biggest threat to manufacturing jobs. Shame on them for suspending that employee. I put my sell order in last night and it sold as soon as Market opened.

Corporations only respond to "money" Ford will no longer get supported by mine.

The admin that campaigned on America First is consistently putting Americans last.

It has money for military operations, but not healthcare. It prioritizes the interests of foreign govts over its own. It's entirely okay teargasing, assaulting, and killing American citizens.

Living history; let them go!
This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Can we get some Wikileaks or Anonymous to release the full and unredacted Epstein files? Or better yet, anyone credible with a shred of decency?

“Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.”

Have you heard about the new ballet production to be staged at the Kennedy Center?
A lone man will dance the Trump Pump to an hour-long version of YMCA.
Anyone who doesn't give a standing ovation lasting at least 15 minutes will be detained by ICE and deported to El Salvador..

I entirely agree with this:
Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.
