We have been working on a story about the run of ICE impersonators robbing and terrorizing mostly Latino businesses. Now this has jumped to impersonating cops for politically motivated assassinations.

don’t allow them to take away your power. know your rights and form communities that stand firm. block off your streets and close your business doors to them. protect your communities from ice. 💥

There’s been no evidence of excess violence in South Africa toward white farmers. Data suggests the opposite. But the myth of “white genocide” has been invoked by white nationalist murderers in New Zealand, Texas, & New York — and Elon Musk. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/0...

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.

The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.

This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Trump touted his admin's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda during yesterday's address.

What he didn't say is that the EPA plans to drop a lawsuit against a chemical manufacturer whose emissions fueled pollution and health problems in Louisiana's "Cancer Alley."

Hello?
Trump Administration Said to Drop Lawsuit Over Toxic Chemical
The Biden administration had sued to force the Denka Performance Elastomer plant in Louisiana to reduce emissions of chloroprene, a likely carcinogen.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Remember that when Trump said "I am your voice," this is who he was talking to.

We call on the Israeli authorities to ensure medical evacuations for all Palestinians in need of care now including caregivers while guaranteeing their safe return.
