This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

There's a reason we call Trump a Fascist. It's not because we're name calling, or trying to incite violence. It's a descriptive term.

The Right labeled every liberal/leftist a terrorist, complicit in murder, filling us with anxiety and fear for weeks - and then two mass murders happen over the weekend where the killers don't fit their narrative and it's right back to thoughts and prayers and vague platitudes...

Trump and his acolytes are exploiting Charlie Kirk's murder in the most brazen bad faith way imaginable - it's actually stunning.

People (and governments) do stupid things when they are angry and afraid. And I worry that this fear, anxiety, and rage could be channeled into support for a 21st century Crime Bill that could cause even more harm and devastation - and move us even closer towards a police state.

Trump wants us to get used to the idea of federal troops in streets of American cities. Don't get used to it. Our friend Matt joins us to discuss Trump's DC takeover and why everyone should be concerned.

Jillian Michaels uses this 2% number to minimize race based slavery in the US, but the reality is that the majority of the white population lived in states where slavery was illegal. In the southern states, 1/3 of households enslaved people. US slavery was a system of white supremacy, full stop.

The hungry are about to get hungrier. We can thank Trump for that.

As this fascist administration marches along destroying everything (and everyone) in its wake... there are going to be more and more people who will regret their support of Trump. The question is: What do we do with all of them?

Hi. The Trump administration has told dozens of lies to try and justify its largely illegal and utterly immoral deportation plan. (Side note: ICE should be abolished.)

The argument that "The league is not profitable - why should they get paid?" is bad faith. The business model of a sports league is to buy a team, let the valuation grow - and then sell it for a massive profit. And why do you think those valuations grow? The PLAYERS. Pay them what you owe them!

NBC News @nbcnews.com · Jul 22

When the WNBA’s biggest stars took the court for the league’s All-Star game in Indianapolis, every player wore a black T-shirt sharing a simple message: “Pay Us What You Owe Us.”

Why WNBA players are telling the league: 'Pay us what you owe us'

The league is negotiating with its players over a new collective bargaining agreement at a time when the game is more popular than ever.
