Just hoping that one day soon, people will tire of targeting and terrifying asylum seekers and instead, they will turn on politicians who whip up hatred and division to grab at power for themselves…
They are the ones who are failing us.
Not these people.
Prejudice can never make anyone’s life better
Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Con Edison, which powers NYC, refuses to say if ICE or the FBI need a warrant to access customer data. Court records show both agencies have already pulled info from its database, yet the utility still won’t clarify what legal standards apply.

Because only money talks now.

I cannot express how angry I will be if anyone anywhere in the world acts surprised when Trump declares himself eligible for a third and illegal presidential term by either invoking the Insurrection Act, declaring martial law, or simply declaring himself eligible to run and daring SCOTUS to stop him
Trump ‘would love’ unconstitutional third term but rules out running for VP
Presidents are constitutionally limited to two elected terms but some had suggested unorthodox gambit to stay in office

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

"The next presidency is going to have to embark on a sweeping de-Trump-ification of the entire federal government to purge it of the culture of abuse and lawlessness that has taken hold, and there are few more vivid examples than ICE." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
ICE is out of control and beyond repair
This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

UAW workers at Volkswagen's only US assembly plant are holding a strike authorization vote this week.

After more than 13 months of negotiations and unfair labor practices, Volkswagen still won't agree to a decent contract.

Volkswagen made $20.6 billion in profits last year.

If Mamdani and Spanberger win big, there's going to be a rush to debate what each means for the direction of the party.

But Mamdani's win would matter a lot more in shifting the NY Democratic party, WHICH HAS SUCKED and may have cost us the House in 2022.

Free us of the Cuomo/NY Post influence!

The promise that London knows best has worn thin. The reaction is clear: voters in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland very obviously increasingly believe they could do better on their own, and it would take a very brave Unionist to suggest they are wrong, writes Richard Murphy✍️

When Democrats and Republicans face off about soaring health care costs and food for the working poor, Republicans have a distinct advantage because they just don't give a damn.

The select committee report on the asylum hotel shambles highlights a point I made repeatedly - the absurd gimicks pursued by the last govt like Rwanda took resources away from running the actual system properly.
