AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

With the complicity of spineless Democrats, the fascists in the federal government are trying to rebrand ICE as a kinder, gentler Gestapo.

Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her.

People targeted by federal agents - for their skin color, accents, or immigration status - are afraid to seek healthcare; healthcare staff are fearful for their safety at work. Here's how Minnesota providers are responding to an unfolding crisis - my latest:

Thiel and "The new head of CDC

not a doctor or scientist.

O'Neill ran Clarium Capital into the ground - it lost 90% of its value - but Peter kept him on.

He has no science training at all; he's a humanities major who caught Peter Thiel's eye and spent two decades fluffing his mad-king dreams. "
The techbro takeover of the US continues: while CDC employees "clap out" their principled leaders who resigned, Trump swears in a 2-decade Peter Thiel advisor to lead CDC. Thiel's Palantir already has all your data. He controls your Vice President. Now he controls your public health too. 1/

I don’t think I can say this forcefully enough: hundreds of thousands of Haitians will lose status tomorrow with racist ending of their TPS & are spending today refreshing their feeds for a court order that could literally save thier lives.

This is nothing short of psychosocial torture.

By Alex Baumhardt, Oregon Capital Chronicle SALEM, Ore. -- A 34-year-old rule exempting some commercial logging projects on federal lands from environmental review is unlawful, a federal judge recently ruled.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

"the important thing isn't for them to win, but for us to lose"

This is why you can't compromise with fascists

Fascists try to fill an internal void by subjugating others. They need to rob you of joy to feel okay. The more they rob, the crueler & pettier they get

That's what they do with power
Trump would probably have preferred to make the Kennedy Center into some kind of MAGA venue but closing it works just as well, because the important thing isn't for them to win, but for us to lose
