"Today, it is 31 days and counting with absolutely no humanitarian aid getting into Gaza...That is a clear violation of the Geneva Convention, the Foreign Assistance Act, and basic human decency. It is a war crime! You don't starve children!"

In Chicago alone, immigration rights advocates say ICE has unlawfully picked up at least 22 migrants, creating warrants after some had already been detained.

Under Pressure From Trump, ICE Is Pushing Legal Boundaries
Confrontations with judges are grabbing attention, but more quietly a pattern of questionable arrests shows the extent to which the administration is willing to test norms and laws.

Many times a day I find this song swirling in my head. In this clip, you can hear a part it being sung by the woman who wrote it, Florence Reece, in Barbara Kopple's great documentary Harlan County, USA. The chorus is applicable to many situations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji8u...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

You should DEFINITELY NOT go to this site & mess with this DOGE survey by the Heritage Foundation.

Definitely do NOT put fake information where they ask for your personal details.

That would fuck up all their shit, man.

These people are doing SERIOUS WORK.

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X.

This agency has saved Americans billions.

DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.
