The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

I’m just a barefoot distinguished professor emerita, but it *does* seem like this should be an impeachable offense. At a minimum.
I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?
Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Rather than cite “DEI”—write out the words.

Because if you’re against DEI, THAT’S what you’re against.
Don’t let folks hide behind the initials.

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families & sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos
The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Last week: SpaceX ship explodes, shutting down a huge chunk of Florida airspace.
Today: X completely down.
The last month: Tesla stock price down by a third.
Gotta hand it to Musk: He really is running the government like he runs his businesses.

I did this. It takes about 20 seconds. Why the hell not?
A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"
