It’s been five years since Winter Storm Uri, where more than ten million Texans lost power and hundreds died as a result of a failed electric grid.

The federal government has a responsibility to #ConnectTheGrid and deliver power to the people.

Union elections plummeted last year after Trump gutted the NLRB — while the cost of living soars and corporate profits hit record highs.

Unions are the key to taking on corporate power and increasing working people’s standard of living.

No wonder Trump wants to eradicate them.

In other words, the vast majority of the $45 billion in reconciliation funding is going to go to the new system of warehouse detention camps.

The other $6.8 billion will presumably serve mainly to keep the existing system of detention running without any other major changes.

given education polarization and MAGA's reliance on low propensity voters, something like the SAVE Act would almost certainly backfire on republicans (i'm reasonably sure senate republicans understand this too)
i'm against barriers to the fanchise but it would be extremely funny if the republicans enact barriers to voting and nuke their voter base
Been toying with the same thought. Pointless barriers to voting pitched as a solution to an imaginary problem are a bad idea in principle, but Republicans seem very sure it will help them on net, and that’s not really obvious to me.

May this one day happen to them.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The danger:

If confirmed, he would help shape US positions on global human rights and UN action on racism, colonialism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, antisemitism, Indigenous rights, and refugees.

This role defines what America stands for. Putting someone with this record there sends a message.

Trump tapped white nationalist Jeremy Carl for Assistant Secretary of State for International Orgs.

He called the Civil Rights Act an “anti-white weapon,” pushed the “great replacement,” called Juneteenth a “race hustle,” and compared J6 defendants to Black defendants in Jim Crow trials.
