A detained man was killed by COs in Boston's South Bay jail (Suffolk HOC) last night. Other detainees who witnessed the incident on the unit saw them choke him and were not offered mental health support after.

There must be an independent investigation. #bospoli www.boston25news.com/news/local/i...

Justice Jackson nails it, but that this has to be spelled out is so depressing.

A wealth tax is a big tent policy unless the only people you care about are billionaires.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.

Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

Fuck John Roberts who declared this kind of pro-fascist gerrymandering “nonjusticiable” not because of any legal principle but because he wants to elect more fascists and Republicans.

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

So this must mean that Kash Patel is going to tell Trump he has to revoke his pardons for the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and reinstate their convictions for sedition in connection with January 6, right

Active Clubs are selling fascism as “fitness culture,” using wellness rhetoric to recruit young men into a global white nationalist network. GPAHE reports the movement has grown 25% since 2023, with 187 chapters across the world — a dangerous shift as radicalization embeds itself in everyday life.

Active Clubs combine fitness and white nationalism, transforming the body into a tool for radicalization and normalizing far right ideology as part of everyday life.

Rabbiatu is a nurse who worked during COVID, had been in the U.S. 30 years. A judge ordered that she could not be sent back to Sierra Leone for her safety, for fear of torture (!). So our evil regime sent her to Ghana (in shackles), and Ghana dragged her back to Sierra Leone.
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.

We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.

Our members keep getting papers.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Here's how Trump turned the presidency into a personal piggybank:

-Charging millions for access at Mar-a-Lago.
-Trump Wines sold in Coast Guard exchanges.
-$300M in private donations for a WH ballroom.
-23 Trump properties developed abroad while in office.

Should we go on?

Legacy media is a major part of the problem. Stop taking these outlets seriously as reasonable chroniclers of our time. They ultimately are all just mouthpieces for the billionaire class.
