Here’s an idea. First track the billionaires and their foreign tax shelters.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."

U.S. billionaires got an astounding $1.5 TRILLION richer in the first year of Trump's second term.
Remember — this is happening as they get even more tax cuts in exchange for the social safety net being cut for everyone else.

Americans don’t know that the Confederates were our native-born homegrown version of the Nazis. We thinks Nazis are from Germany but they’re really from Stone Mountain, Georgia.
There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

I’m happy to see the new American Cancer Society report showing that the U.S. has reached a historic milestone in cancer survivorship, where 70% of patients live for 5+ years after diagnosis.
But I also see it as a requiem, because the systems that made it happen have been destroyed.

If this person who burned a synagogue had cited the Quran in defending their antisemitic attack, we'd be reading dozens of news stories about Islamic extremism. Since he cited the Book of Revelation, the media really needs to connect this to extremist forms of white Christianity.
The FBI says that a suspect in the arson fire at the Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, admitted to targeting the institution because of its “Jewish ties.”
Court documents say 19-year-old Stephen Spencer Pittman called the historic house of worship "a synagogue of Satan."

It's also where Dred and Harriet Scott were enslaved, and then denied standing in the suit for their freedom on the grounds that Black people could not be citizens.
just keep thinking about my colleague's @racketmn.com piece that Fort Snelling, this building where ICE is HQ'd, is the site of a concentration camp, part of institutionalized genocide against the Dakota.

What I take from that, then, is that they were never and have not been trained, and do not belong on the street in any way. Especially with a weapon. Also, don't provoke people and they don't have to "panic". And if they don't get that, get out of "law enforcement".

Please join me in praying for my city's only synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, which was set on fire in the early morning hours, yesterday.
Nobody was hurt and a suspect has been caught and charged with arson, but not much is public. Beth Israel is part of JXN's long tradition of racial justice.
