BlackRock, KKR, Vanguard, State Street, Cerberus, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, CoreCivic, and GEO Group all partnered w/Trump’s #DHS to build an eviction > detention > asset-flipping pipeline—profiteering as #ICE clears buildings, every mass deportation action triggering waves of rental asset turnover.

The Economics of Donald Trump’s Mass Deportations

Donald Trump’s mass deportations will do little to improve the lives of American workers. But he is fueling a deportation-industrial complex that funnels billions of dollars into the hands of private ...

📡 Portland shows how Trump’s surveillance state hunts dissent: Gas masks, faces, tattoos, T‑shirts—every detail fed into AI tools to ID, charge, and intimidate protesters.

This isn’t about “safety.” It’s about control.

Our counterpunch: coalitions spreading awareness, adaptation, and solidarity. 🥊

How Surveillance Tech is Being Used to ID and Charge Portland Protesters

Surveillance technology is helping criminalize resistance. On July 24, a criminal complaint was filed in federal court. Less than 24 hours later, FBI agents raided the defendant’s home in Portland, O...

Nazi jokes and rape talk aren’t Young Republican “drama”—it’s undeniable proof the fascist rot permeates every bit of the GOP.

The real betrayal is selling out your soul, not getting caught. Nazis aren’t victims. Vance can lie, but the Republican cover-up reeks.

We see you, and history will too.

Not sure if anybody is doing it better than @juliadoubleday.bsky.social —Please read:

“when you shrug off the difficulty.. of practicing COVID safety.. you are casting that burden onto the shoulders of those who are already carrying more than you are. ”

Link: www.thegauntlet.news/p/beyond-all...?

Why not recognize: wow! What a difficult reality we’re creating for anyone who’s been harmed by the virus. That could be me next, since I’m getting reinfected in these bi-annual waves. Instead of complaining that disabled people are asking me to participate in normalizing COVID mitigations, why don’t I acknowledge the absurdity and severity and difficulty of this situation? Why don’t I participate in changing the culture before it’s my turn to suffer as others ignore me?

Yes, it is difficult. It is burdensome. You could call it unreasonable! But when you shrug off the difficulty and burden of practicing COVID safety in the current climate, you are casting that burden onto the shoulders of those who are already carrying more than you are. Who can afford infections less than you can. Who in many cases have fewer resources than you do and almost certainly have fewer safe social outlets than you will.

Experts warn the closure could cause gridlock from Dana Point to Del Mar, with delays up to 8 hours each way. The ripple effects may cripple emergency response, business, and supply chains, costing $8.2M in lost visitor spending daily. Officials cite no notice nor transparency from Vance/Trump.

We ought to block I-5 from BC to Mexico like the French would do … Or at a minimum block the road to stop Just Dumb Vance from getting off the airbase.

Maybe all the West Coast No Kings protesters should block I-5 from the Canadian border to San Diego. Stop all transit like the French farmers did in 2024.

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

I’m in the same boat having recently cut the cord. Have you tried a cheap OTA antenna? It’s remarkable the stations we get from that and from streaming PBS+ ($5 mo). YouTube news channels are another good (though not ad-free) source.
