i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The President likes to claim tariffs on foreign goods have been great for folks. But that’s not what tariffs actually are. They’re an unnecessary tax we all pay. Congress has had its power to levy tariffs stripped by the President and we need a Congress that is willing to stand up.

We’re too aware of the corruption rampant within this administration but sometimes it’s just so blatant that it’s past the point of ridiculous. We need a Congress that will call out corruption when they see it.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Yesterday, ICE agents in Minneapolis murdered Alex Pretti. Their second victim in just as many weeks. This is what happens when you drop un-vetted masked agents on the ground with no clear parameters. This is disgusting, shameful, and heartbreaking.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who told us that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” A quote that is still all too relevant today as see the events unfolding in places like Minneapolis. I encourage you to reflect on Dr. King’s life & legacy today

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I’m sorry, but Meta needing literal nuclear power to keep its AI going is just insane. I know it makes me sound like a Luddite or a boomer but this AI push needs to stop. Our country, our schools, and our Congress/laws sure as hell aren’t ready for it. Not to mention the environmental impact.
Facebook parent Meta has reached nuclear power deals with three companies as it continues to look for electricity sources for its artificial intelligence data centers.

The actions in Venezuela over the weekend raises a lot of questions and rightfully so. But, the one that I have is, how does this help lower costs for folks? How does this make life more affordable? That’s my big question. We need to keep our eye on the ball.

I mean we all know that Trump is an asshole but holy shit
The President is not only making the murder of Rob Reiner about himself, but is seemingly suggesting he had it coming on account of Reiner’s criticism of the president.
This is deranged and disgusting behavior.

We’ve seen massive shifts to the left in deep red districts in elections over the past few months. People are tired of the dysfunction in DC, tired of people they’ve elected not representing them, and tired of prices not getting better. Momentum is on our side. Go to our website and volunteer.
