Imagine being the cunning stunt who called ICE on this factory. Hyundai are now basically refusing to return, leaving a multi-billion dollar hole in Georgia's economy.

Fucking idiots.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why

ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

That was their goal. They can't have the People behind them in massive numbers . . . that would mean they have to displease their corporate whoremasters.

EVERY spineless centrist should feel vulnerable right now. We're sick of your shit. Dying sick. People are going to lose family and friends, because of this cowardice.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Yup. If the GOP or their stooges say it, it's automatically rejected in my mind.

If these federal officials say anything, assume the opposite is true.

Their donors (wealthy people) tell them to fail at critical points in order to maintain the precise balance of changing nothing important for the wealthy. It's almost like calculated catastrophe, as soon as the public really gets riled up at the GOP, the Dems are (apparently) ordered to faceplant.

Yea if I were into that kinda thing I'd short him in January of 2026, and if that didn't do it, January of 2029, or the day Donald Trump kicks it, whichever comes first.

Could be the collapse would occur the previous november(s), don't know enough to really care.

Well, I'm pretty sure that around January of 2026 there will be a correction. If not then, for sure there will be one January 20th of 2029.

His success right now is entirely predicated on him buying up the GOP.
