Like dictators before him, Trump’s road to tyranny is paved with hate.

We will not succumb to the ravings of a venomous president who wants us to hate each other. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-the-bigot-in-the-oval

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Rachel Reeves there, deciding to tackle climate change by *checks notes* effectively cutting the price of petrol and diesel while whacking a tax on electric vehicles. Yeah, that'll definitely do the trick.
