ICYMI- the clergy ordered to be granted access to ICE detainees came for their scheduled visit AND THE FACILITY WAS EMPTY
The 2 Catholic priests and Sister who entered the Broadview, IL ICE facility, to provide Ash Wednesday services to those inside, have come back out.

A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

Out today: “A prosecutor who is truly interested in justice does not blast out a public press release like this to the media while a trial is pending. Nothing has been proven in court yet, and this inflammatory language is just meant to fan the flames of public outcry and poison a jury pool.”

Maria Margarita Rojas is the first healthcare provider charged for abortion care under Texas’ strict criminal ban. Her attorneys say the state has no evidence—yet her clinics remain shuttered.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."
RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.
So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

As a former public defender who represented thousands of people, I can’t stop thinking about the contrast the Epstein files raise.
I watched 1000s face swift, devastating punishment for far less serious conduct — poor, marginalized, & presumed dangerous from the start.
