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 ...

CNN: “If nothing else, his efforts to actually use these claims to expand his power have forced judges to reckon with the veracity of what he’s saying.

The verdicts they’ve reached suggest Trump is declaring war on a bogeyman.”

MUST-WATCH 🧯 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social delivers a precise, impassioned warning about Trump’s authoritarian power grab in progress—and urges Republicans to stop it before our democracy is gone. Watch his plea, share widely, and tag your lawmakers—demand action before it’s too late!

“GOP shut down the government to distract you. They shut the government down not because they care about spending but because… they don’t want you talking about the #EpsteinFiles, sluggish job growth, shrinking GDP, and the widening trade deficit that the tariffs were supposed to fix but [did not].”

Andrea Devon @andreadevon.bsky.social · 12d

Watching this makes it clear. They are gaslighting America over pennies while immigrants pay billions they’ll never use. It’s a distraction from the Epstein files, job losses, shrinking GDP and the widening trade deficit.

Don’t get distracted. Stay focused.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

“It’s not *just* that Trump is trying to kill off renewable energy, thus creating far more emissions and handing over the future to China, it’s all criminal lack of preparation his administration will do to prepare us for a vicious climate. Texas is only the beginning.” @clarajeffery.bsky.social

Mother Jones on Trump climate change:

Pulling out of the Paris climate accords, as he did the last time around, will only be the beginning. Every oily-fingered fossil fuel executive, cash-in-a-bag sprawl developer, and corner-cutting factory owner in America is lining up for a jamboree of lawlessness and impunity. Project 2025 has identified hundreds of regulatory and administrative targets to destroy. A society crashing from one incompetently managed disaster to another offers ample opportunities for corruption, graft, and profiteering. Corrupt incompetence remains the one deliverable Trump has actually reliably produced.

Trump is doing exactly what @alexsteffen.bsky.social predicted back in November: "The Trump crowd has already shown they don’t see acceleration of the climate chaos as a problem—they see it as an opportunity." https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2025/01/trump-climate-crisis-insurance-americans-warming/

"The first thing we’ll see—if we can rip our attention away from the promised concentration camps and military tribunals—is our existing climate capabilities spraying out of the back chute of a wood chipper."

We now have an outline of the story about the woman shot by DHS in Chicago that sounds mostly accurate.

Also, the other video going around was possibly from a different incident happening nearby as DHS said

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorn...
