Huh- collusion to fix mortgages doesn’t sound good.

“…senior Fannie Mae officials who called her conduct into question were all forced out of their jobs late last month, along with internal ethics watchdogs who were investigating Pulte and his allies.”

Because America is for sale and being stripped for parts, as Sarah Kendzior said a while back.
Like, years ago.

But you wouldn’t have heard that recently from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social because Bluesky temporarily suspended her for some lame ass, nonsensical (intentional?) reason.
NEW: DHS launched a $200mln+ ad campaign, featuring, Kristi Noem, aimed at stemming illegal immigration.

We found the firm secretly hired for the work has ties to Noem.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

The saddest thread I read today.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The stuff in this thread is horrendous.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Rozafa Castle legend:

Built by 3 brothers. One of their wives was sacrificed & buried in its walls to ensure structural strength.

Some say an inner archway near the burial site always drips water, even if it hasn’t rained.

A big fat drop fell on the top of my head.

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.

The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

I found peace here over the weekend in Vlorë, Albania.

Even though my view included Sazan Island- the one Jared Kushner and Ivanka trump ‘bought’ to develop an uber luxury resort.

Locals call it “trump island”.

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.
