Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.
Imagine a Reverend pleading to you for mercy from the pulpit, then being such a vile monster you immediately rescind an EO protecting the human dignity of an vulnerable population. Imagine the thrill your evil ass would get from smacking your own supporters' god in the mouth like that.

She's claiming that Trump murdering fishermen in the open ocean is supported by the Supreme Court. How does that legacy feel now, Roberts?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Suspicious that Gavin Newsom was also a cartoonist I asked google image search who the artist's signature belonged to. Google AI said it was Bsky user jbroomer. Based on my prompt this response is bananas! I replied that's obviously wrong WTF is wrong with you and the AI broke. Hopefully I killed it

Look at these pedophile protectors. The only new information is Trump made a post online demanding new investigations, which is just an excuse to redact his name out of the Epstein files.
“Will you release all the files within 30 days?”
BONDI: “We’ll continue to follow the law.”🤔
“You said no addition investigation was warranted. What changed?”
BONDI: “Information.” 🙃

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

idk if it helps to think of it this way, but capital is not just in opposition to labor but fully radicalized against labor. they'll suffer if they think labor will suffer more. it's not about money. it's about winning.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.
