After just a few days of protests, Disney defied Trump and put Kimmel back on the air. Imagine what would happen if we all boycotted every corporation and just spent money on essential goods and small businesses.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.
It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
