Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

Oh how low CBS/60 Minutes has sunk!!! Propaganda under the cover of “journalism.” Knowing how much this liar deflects, you would think “journalists” would have been more prepared to push back in real time with actual facts/data. Absolutely shameful!

This weekend is Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, a holiday celebrated in Mexico and parts of Latin America. It's a mix of grief and joy honoring the dead.

In Tijuana, Mexico, people took the opportunity to remember journalists who were killed while reporting. Matthew Bowler of KPBS reports.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

According to their detractors a few #Rossmoor residents and paid #Antifa members turned out for a minuscule rally in #WalnutCreekCalif. today. These same folks were angry we chose to cover it. But, hey, that's what we do. Decide for yourself how many people turned out...

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

Opalite is my favorite and will be on repeat. Overall, it’s a fun album. Except for Ruin the Friendship, that one is sad to me and relatable. Not my fav TS album but still good.

💃🏻Already stuck in my head!💃🏻
“It's alright
You were dancing through the lightning strikes
Sleepless in the onyx night
But now the sky is opalite
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh my Lord
Never made no one likе you before
You had to make your own sunshinе
But now the sky is opalite
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh”
