The first thing ICE did when it was created was raiding meat processing plants in the Midwest and south to help quell labor disputes over safety violations and keep those who weren't detained from getting legal protections as many had kids who grew up locally and were citizens with political power.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This WSJ article fails to mention that the US has imposed economic sanctions on Cuba since the 1960s, which are now paired with sanctions on Venezuela, leading to the humanitarian crisis today.
The UN always votes 187-2 to lift sanctions on Cuba, but the US refuses to change its illegal position.

Cuba’s economy is nearing collapse as the result of the U.S. oil blockade and military buildup against Venezuela.
U.S. Oil Blockade of Venezuela Pushes Cuba Toward Collapse
Cuba’s economy, dependent on cheap Venezuelan oil for decades, now struggles to function as a result of the U.S. military’s buildup in the Caribbean and the sharp drop in oil shipments from Venezuela.

Absolutely. It's unfortunate that we find ourselves here again, although it makes sense. United States history is completely whitewashed, & it seems too many of us have had any sense of curiosity bleed from us. We should all find time to research our not so distant history, of corporate cities.

Whenever you all hear them talk of "building new cities" or "Freedom Cities" They're talking about creating a company owned town, *outside of state authority". If you hear about the political movement "Abundance". Reject it. Abundance is the rights attempt to co-opt the left like they did with MAGA.

The FBI Director lied to Congress by stating there were no co-conspirators working with Epstein to sex-traffic little girls. In the latest drop of Epstein files, the FBI states there were 10 co-conspirators. One of them could very well have been Trump it looks like. Trump's BFF was Epstein FFS!!

Example # 2,303,301 of a clip I'd like to show Republican friends and ask them "You do know this administration says things like this because they think you're too stupid to know that's not how it works, right? You do know it's an insult, right?"
Lutnick: "Donald Trump's economy grew 4.3%. That means that Americans overall, all of us, are going to earn 4.3% more money. We're making a raise, it's a simple way to do it."

My favorite liberal conspiracy theory is that Trump is somehow controlled or working on behalf of Russia and China when he's just doing what US imperialism has always done, but working with the wing of capitalists who want to move to a transactional system and remove previous rules-based constraints
"Indeed, Trump's National Security 'Strategy' is entirely consistent with the goals of both Putin’s Russia and China’s authoritarian regime, both of which have long viewed the weakening of the Western alliance as a key part of their effort to displace the US as the leading power in the world."
Make America Weak
Trump is systematically undermining America's interests at home and abroad.

What the US has realized is that it no longer likes and benefits as much as it used to from the rules based order it created post 1945.
It wants to extract as much as possible not just from its rivals, but from allies as well.

I don’t regret advocating for Palestinians. I never will—the things they go through are so depraved that it keeps me up at night and the idea of staying silent is unbearable to me. But I have to admit there are so many instances and interactions that have felt like punishment for speaking out.

It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust.
Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

We didn’t realize how bad Trump’s Biden-derangement syndrome really is. The first analysis found that he mentioned “Biden” an average of 6.32 times per day. That number has since climbed it’s now just over seven times a day.
