"Any social movement that isn't directly challenging economic relations stands to just be another finger wagging exercise that's likely to accomplish little besides making people feel shittier about the whole mess than they already do."

With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for,

NO
I don't remember
I haven't seen anyone
I don't know
Fuck off

Ok, maybe not the last one, but erase your memory

Representative Andy Ogles, Republican of Tennessee, has filed a resolution to amend the constitutional term limit for presidents from two terms to three, though only if a president’s first two terms were non-consecutive.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Of course this happened.

Since Monday, Trump has:

-Halted civil rights investigations
-Suspended public health advisories
-Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges
-Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors

How does this help working people?

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

An email obtained by NPR says NIH employees are subject to a travel freeze and offers of employment are being rescinded. Scientists worry about disruptions to critical research.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."

The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

Devolution.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

AOC 🔥🎯

Angles matter.

A new Senate report finds that private equity investors have earned millions by wringing profits out of hospitals, leading to worse outcomes for patients and providers.

It's yet another example of how private equity is looting America.
