I have two, simple requests for those who I follow and for those who follow me:

1. Always refer to the Trump administration as the Trump regime.

2. The National Guard, military, and federal agencies occupying U.S. cities must be referred to as occupying forces.

South Boulevard Charlotte NC: ICE keeps on harassing and brutalizing innocent citizens. This State sponsored violence is incompatible with a modern democratic society.

As always, a perfect analysis of Trump’s criminality.

Republicans are getting worried about the upcoming special election in #TN07, where @aftynbehn.bsky.social has all of the momentum.

Early voting is underway, and you can help send this progressive champion (and former Indivisible organizer) to Congress: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
Democrats inject "Epstein files" into special election that's scaring GOP
"The Epstein files are locked away. Matt Van Epps will keep them that way," a new ad says.

No Starbucks during the strike. I’m posting this from my favorite Indy shop, Smokey Hollow Coffee Roasters in El Segundo, CA. It’s so packed that there’s no more Wifi😂
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Yet some people insist we are not a fascist state. Yes, we are.
Nineteen West African nationals deported by the U.S. to Ghana have been moved to an unknown location, a lawyer for one of the deportees said. The Trump administration’s deportation program has faced widespread criticism from human rights experts.

A confidant of Bill Pulte provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming officials of the govt-backed lending giant who warned it could expose Fannie Mae to claims it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates.

The alarmed officials got fired.
"Emails reviewed by The Associated Press show that Fannie Mae executives were unnerved about what one called the 'very problematic' disclosure of data by Lauren Smith, the company’s head of marketing, who was acting on Pulte’s behalf." apnews.com/article/fann...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

And people wonder why most victims don't come forward. Our male-dominated culture often celebrates entertainment where the hero secures justice on his own accord. Just not for girls or women.
A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Share widely. This is justice denied.
In March, a security guard at Club Dwntown sucker punched Rafeal Montoya and killed him. Police officers watched it happen and did nothing and the security has never been charged. Now he’s missing.

Turns out the security guard was Charles "Brandon" Recor, a Proud Boy with a history of violence.
