Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.

He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

This article doesn’t appear to be available online yet, but let me just tell you it is galling.

Elders are starving because DOGE cut $1b in food bank grants.

And now, cuts to the Agriculture Department in the looming budget bill along with SNAP cuts are destroying what funding was left.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

I might be off, wrong even, after reading this Letters from an American by @hcrichardson.bsky.social —but it sure seems to me that the Trump administration is focused solely on increasing power and increasing violence against anyone opposed. OBBBA must not pass.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services doesn’t know about massive cuts to health programs?
Q: Did you personally approve the over $11B in cuts to local and state programs?

RFK Jr.: I'm not familiar with those cuts, they were mainly DEI.

Q: Did you know that $750K of a grant studying adolescent diabetes was cut?

RFK Jr.: I didn't know that

This entire thread, but esp the women. e.g Erica Payne: "If you're running a business, and you're not paying somebody something they can afford to live on, you don't have a business. You have a human exploitation scheme. And we need to all get that straight."
I'll be tweeting clips from @patrioticmillionaires.org's "How to Beat the Broligarchs" event this morning in this thread as part of my partnership with @snapstream.com. Follow along!

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.
You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.
