In 1941, thinking about acquiescence to Hitler, FDR quoted Ben Franklin: “Those, who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” It’s a message for the billionaires & others capitulating to Trump.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.
@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found.

At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

“Stop talking about that time we did a insurrection”
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on."

"When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?"

"All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."

This night…
537 shaheds.
8 ballistic missiles.
37 cruise missiles.

The sky burned with fire and fear.
Explosions ripped through homes,
Through streets,
Through lives.

Civilians wounded.
Families torn apart.
Children hiding, crying, trembling.

You know Epstein & Maxwell. But did you know major banks paid $350M+ to settle lawsuits from Epstein’s victims? Key witnesses stay silent, red flags ignored.

The New Yorker estimates Trump has made $3.4 billion from the presidency. I told them, "The American people ultimately don’t like people using public office to enrich themselves. It’s like a President turning a national park into his summer home—and, in this case, maybe building a skyscraper there."
How Much Is Trump Profiting Off the Presidency?
A comprehensive estimate of how much Trump and his family are making, from hotel mega-deals to crypto schemes, has been elusive—until now.
