DHS has begun purchasing warehouses to detain tens of thousands of immigrants.

The big winners? Real estate brokers facilitating the deals stand to rake in millions — including one previously run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and now run by his son.

Cashing in on cruelty.

In at least 70,000 cases in 21 states, parents were referred to law enforcement agencies over allegations of substance use during pregnancy. In many cases, the referrals began with false positive results from flawed drug tests — sometimes triggered by the women’s prescribed medications.

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future.

New York State was supposed to pick its next offshore wind project today through a competitive process, but ended up not making any awards.

Why? @nyserda.bsky.social cited the "federal actions disrupting the offshore wind market," which make developing new projects uncertain.

I have an in-law who told me that AOC is "a dumb bartender."

I replied, "I've watched her question witnesses before Congress with more skill than most lawyers in courtrooms. Stop watching Fox News. It is filling your head with porridge. Oh, and I thought you people were FOR people having jobs."

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

The system is rigged — and Trump wants to keep it that way because his own power depends on it.

What drives Trump is simple: he cares more about protecting the interests of those with power than those with none.

So when he and his regime lash out about Epstein, understand why.

Reminder that christian supremacy — which in practice means deference to the most violently reactionary factions and churches — is a massive goddamn problem. It's a major reason we're here and there's no real way out without confronting it.
One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest?

The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

Richard Dawkins. Steven Pinker. Lawrence Krauss. Jonathan Haidt. Robert Trivers. Prominent atheists and scientists who have pushed anti-trans propaganda for years. They all had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Some received huge research grants and island trips, and all of them benefited from their ties.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
