I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

The United States was ready to run with the big dogs in the clean energy tech race, lots of good funding from Biden era. A whole industry with jobs and clean power, ready at the starting block. Then Trump cut the wires, raided the vault and sold us out to the AI tech lords. What a year. #EnergySky 🧪

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Federal agents breaking into worksites, chasing skilled laborers and bloodying them, trapping roofers outside in subzero temperatures—and yet the construction industry isn't making a peep. Our @crampell.bsky.social explains why:

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.

When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control:

Paramount Studios
CBS
CNN
MTV
HBO
Comedy Central
Nickelodeon
Cartoon Network
Warner Bros.
DC Studios
Fandango
New Line Cinema
TNT Sports
TBS
Oracle

And more.

Trump pardoned a Honduran drug lord who helped move TONS of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump does not care about being tough on crime, stopping drug trafficking, or keeping Americans safe.

This is corrupt beyond belief, and EVERYONE should call it out.
