Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

In this moment, we need leaders who will stand up to our wannabe, Donald Trump, not vote alongside him.

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

The “Save America Act” reminds me of Christian Right godfather Paul Weyrich who infamously boasted that he didn’t want everyone to vote & co-founded the largest Christian Right umbrella political group in the US (the Council for National Policy aka “CNP”). Cleta Mitchell belonged as of 2020.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

“Jesse Jackson Gave Peace a Chance!”
One of the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s great legacies is his record, as a man of faith and a presidential candidate, of embracing anti-war movements, advocating for diplomacy over militarism, and working for deep cuts in Pentagon spending in order to fund human needs.
