🚨Imagine ICE conducting a raid on your PRIVATE PROPERTY.🚨
Illegal, unconstitutional, and an elevation of ICE’s encroachment. This needs to have national attention. 1/2

Thanksgiving costs climbed about 10% this year over last year, according to new research from @groundwork.bsky.social @tcfdotorg.bsky.social & @aft.org.

That’s an increase of more than 3X the overall inflation rate. Explore the research👇

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025.

Let’s compare, shall we:

In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000.

From steady climb to sudden slide.

Years ago, my Christian friend was struggling through a divorce, losing her home, and feeding 4 kids. I called her pastor — the one she gave tithes to every week. He said there was nothing he could do. I was polite, but I shamed the fuck out of him. He didn't budge.

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

Burying two stories in one headline! Impressive work.
President Trump said he had an MRI earlier this month, telling reporters Monday that the results had been “perfect” but declining to say why his doctors had ordered the scan. He also reiterated that he was interested in serving a third term.
Trump Says a Recent M.R.I. Scan Was ‘Perfect,’ and He’d ‘Love’ a Third Term
President Trump made the comments on the second day of his trip to Asia. The Constitution limits presidents to two terms, but Mr. Trump has suggested he might try to circumvent it.
