NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Yeah there's dozens from what I'm going through with multiple high up editors who very clearly were in the know of Epstein's shit and buddy buddy with him, and given his activity as an Israeli intelligence asset and NYT's links to Israeli intelligence, it's not a stretch to say the tree is rotten.
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

1/? Please do not vote for him! He said that he would not support Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House. As Black people we are fighting a two-front war. The GOP is trying to dilute our voting power with gerrymandering and the "left" is trying to dilute b/c they want to be "the base". WAKE UP!

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Trump is paying himself a 1/4 BILLION for having been investigated for the crimes he's guilty of, NOW Republicans want to give each other a million dollar jackpot provision. The GOP aren't even hiding their corruption and greed, and grift of our tax-dollars anymore. In fact, they seem proud of it!?

We started Indivisible in 2016 because a future Trump appointee was talking about the WWII Japanese internment camps as a model for immigrants at the same time that Schumer was talking about finding common ground with Trump.
This concentration camp was opened at Fort Bliss, the site of a former Japanese internment camp.
It also cost over $1B in private contracts to build in a place meant to hold 1000 people. So, basically it’s a fascist grift.

Trump administration in disarray: USDA complies with a federal court order while DOJ takes its desire to withhold food from Americans all the way to SCOTUS.
BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month.
The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments.
DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.
