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.

The U.S. Treasury is getting ratioed on an apparent self-own. Higher yields raise U.S. borrowing costs and often reflect market anxiety rather than strength. Investors demand higher yields when they see greater risk in holding government debt. This is not a good sign.

Let’s abolish the United States while we’re at it! Let Republican states support themselves. Certainly we could break up more of Russia into smaller self-governing regions? Then maybe we can all devolve to warring city states? Or tribes? Let’s see how long Elon lasts then?

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

People are all sharing this approvingly, but the reason Halle Berry is mad at Gavin Newsom is because her scam AI menopause supplement health woo company can't bleed taxpayers because of the bill he vetoed.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."
