what weakens unions is the assumption that having the same level or lack of pigmentation in the skin is going be a solid basis for solidarity.

The Pentagon is creating National Guard riot control forces in every state that could respond to civil unrest.

The new "quick reaction" units — with about 500 soldiers each — demonstrate Trump's push to expand the U.S. military's role in targeting U.S. citizens in U.S. cities.

Pentagon Orders National Guard to Establish Quick-Reaction Forces for Civil Unrest, Riots

The riot control units are a major shift, underscoring the Trump administration’s push to directly involve the military in responding to demonstrations and other domestic missions.

At what point does US air travel shut down? Newark was closed for a chunk of time yesterday because of a shortage of air traffic controllers, thanks to the government shutdown.

Probably not a good time to be flying.

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL

It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest.

Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car.

Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

Trump is boasting China will buy a “tremendous” amount of Soybeans (25 metric tons/year)

REALITY: That’s less than 2024 (27MT)

He’s counting on you not knowing that.

Yes, It’s better than 0. Yes, Farmers need it.

But putting out another fire he started does not a hero make.
