Fully illegal given the temporary restraining order on "roving patrols," affirmed by the 9th Circuit just last week
ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. LATU organizers snapped some photos from the raid—one sticks out: ICE agents rolling up in a Penske rental truck.

Wonder where they got the idea😬

Trying to avoid detection? Is this policy now? Are they now doing roving gangs in this?

The Washington Post continues to do real reporting on the genocide, a stark contrast to the blood-soaked NY Times.

In my book, I show that an eviction can ruin someone's life *even if it never happens.* A mere eviction FILING—even one dismissed in court—can destroy your credit and lock you out of housing for years.

That's why I say people aren't "falling" into homelessness. They're being pushed.

It wasn’t until months later that she learned it had left her with a permanent record of an eviction — despite there never being one.

The people's elected representatives in Congress passed a law requiring the Federal Reserve to restrict Wall Street bonuses, and then Jerome Powell's secretive, all-powerful "independent" Fed just decided not to do it, while the Fed prioritized reducing workers' wages.

According to a new report, nearly 27% of homes sold in Q1 of 2025 were bought by real estate investors — the highest share in at least five years.

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich.

They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people.

Nothing trickles down — and the tax cuts don't "pay for themselves."
You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism.

It's a lie.
