Tim Miller reports on the DHS raids in New Orleans, explaining how Greg Bovino's sick operation is all about cruelty, spectacle, bigotry, and intimidation, and not about public safety.

“There’s a race to get an astronomical amount of money out the door [in DHS] before Democrats take over the House. They’re hiring ICE agents, juicing contracts for the social media snuff films they’re doing, building private prisons."

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

I definitely won’t be celebrating his birthday.
Unfuckingbelievable.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

While unionized Starbucks workers are on strike for a fair contract, don’t cross the picket line!

Show solidarity — like Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders.

Listen to what they had to say.

Finn called to me last evening from the family room. He didn’t want to go out. He walked to and jumped on his pillow. He wanted my company.

There you go again- speaking reason in the face of greed
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.

Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

National public health “leadership” (hi RFK Jr 🙄) keeps poisoning public health with lies.

Vaccines prevent needless childhood deaths.

No baby in America should be dying of whooping cough — not when we have safe, effective vaccines literally ready to go.

This is a national tragedy

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.
