We have a concentration camp on US soil for the first time since the 1940s. It was shameful then and it is outrageous now. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...
Alligator Atrocity
An American concentration camp became operational last week, and it’s already a human rights nightmare.

A Canadian take on the effects TFGs rhetoric is having on Canadian tourism in the US. I just saw a report today about how many fewer Canadian tourists there are in my state. If I were Canadian, I would do the same. youtu.be/LdqwTf2S78k

Got this, too. Knew it was a lie.
Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.
Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

Millions of acres worth of public land would be put up for sale in the Senate version of Trump’s big, ugly bill.

It’s a massive privatization of a public good that everyone gets to enjoy – all to finance tax cuts that predominantly flow to the super-rich.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.
You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.
