A photojournalist was arrested by ICE at gunpoint — and his DACA status revoked.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.
This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.

Illinois spends $1.4 billion a year at an average cost of $150,000 per person incarcerated. If universal basic income were implemented this spending in states would plummet. Crime would drop. Recidivism would drop. This savings should always be considered when asking about the costs of a UBI policy.

Location: Chicago, IL
Participants: 100
Amount: $500/mo

This program focused on those released from incarceration. Only 3 people reoffended. The avg recidivism rate in Illinois is 40% within 3 years.

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was *founded* to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.
