404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Oh she thinks she’s CUTE
Remember when she posted pictures with her family, many of whom were dressed in clothing that supported a specific president, and responded with a flippant “I don’t understand why you’re all choosing to make this POLITICAL!!!”
American Eagle just did a disgusting ad with a pun where the punchline is that their white MAGA model has superior "jeans" because she's white. I feel sick.

It is amazing governments at the local, state, and federal levels are insistent on handing over cash to the world’s richest white supremacist for vanity projects without any proven results or recognizable metrics, but food, medicine, housing, UBI, etc. has to be measured and means-tested to death.

I know people are understandably scared, but are we going to keep doing this every five months? This is not a broad coalition. This is four groups who never gave up and a bunch of small groups. This isn't new or interesting, and it actually says more that no actually powerful groups are involved.

Every time a foreign country gets Trump angry, he threatens to hit us with another big tax hike.
Trump’s threat to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian imports would cause a $300B tax hike, roughly $2.4K per household. @deanbaker13.bsky.social says this will hit American pockets hard, as 96% of Trump’s tariffs are paid by US citizens and businesses.

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams
There are *already* standards on much of this.
The issue is DHS isn't following them!
