What an obscenely terrible headline.
I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted.
The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

13 people were arrested protesting Palantir’s surveillance of Americans.
Palantir is profiting off of ICE raids. It’s refining its tracking techniques & gathering data at lightning speed.

Absolutely not ok.
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson
🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase.
Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13
Young kids: $27 → $10
These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:

⚡️Zelensky had to remind Trump peace talks already underway during call with EU leaders, Axios reports.
Donald Trump told the leaders that Vladimir Putin agreed to start direct negotiations on a ceasefire immediately, which led to a few seconds of "puzzled silence," Axios reported.
