🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police.

Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance.

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

ICE agents or bounty hunters?

A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today.

What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

Woot! Woot! Rep Womack got Russ Vought, Director of Office of Management and Budget, to basically say he is too busy to develop a budget.

Help me out, is creating and tracking a complete budget a key role of an office with “budget” in its name?

#saveCDC #savepublichealth #impoundment #Vought
wow -- even GOP Rep. Womack isn't happy that OMB DIrector Vought hasn't provided a budget proposal (note that Vought basically says he's too busy to do it)

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

a nice thing about being into history is that you only need the most minimal level of familiarity with, say, Roman history* to understand that yeah, the rich people who've shouldered their way into the driver's seat can *absolutely* be as stupid and venal as they appear to be

The Supreme Court will hear an appeal from a private prison company facing a lawsuit that claims immigration detainees are forced to work and paid as little as $1 a day in Colorado.

The Trumps have profited to the tune of something like $10 million per day since inauguration — making Hunter Biden look like a total piker.

Corruption is now the rule, and government functionality the exception.
Trump's financial disclosures show $9 million from six overseas licensing agreements between Jan 2023 and August 2024. In the seven months since the election, the Trump Organization has announced twice as many overseas deals.

Wonder why business is suddenly so good?? Guess we'll never know!
The Trump Organization Has Expanded Globally Since the 2024 Election. See Where.
The company and its partners have announced 12 overseas deals, greatly exceeding those made during the entirety of the first Trump administration.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost
I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Hawley is presumably aware of the "pending litigation" considering that his wife, Erin Hawley, has been involved in the mifepristone challenges.
Senator Hawley appears to be successfully pulling the FDA to reconsider its approval of mifepristone, citing safety concerns as a pretext.
