The federal judge who signed the order to search Ilhan Omar’s house should be permanently removed from office and disbarred from ever practicing as an attorney. This was clearly an illegal and politically motivated maneuver by Trump’s goons. A judge worth anything would have refused to approve it.

“Trump asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the US captured the country’s president Nicolas Maduro. And Grok, in classic AI sycophantic fashion, told him what he wanted to hear.”

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

I’ve gotten a lot of questions from journalists like, “If my son were in that group chat, I’d want him to say something. How can I teach him to speak up?” The question should be: “How do I raise a son who would never rush a fraternity?”

Is there a reason that Democratic Congressional Leadership hasn't said the first bill they will pass if they win in the midterms is to RAISE THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE???? This seems straightforward to me even if it won't be signed. What am I missing? Fed Minimum wage is at $7.25 (since July 2009)

Today kicks off Black August. [graphic by Martin Sostre Solidarity House]
Image: Four Black individuals appear in black-and-white at the bottom. They are Marsha P Johnson, George Jackson, Assata Shakur and Martin Sostre. Above them, white text explains Black August’s significance in commemorating Black liberation, resistance, and honoring past struggles. “CONCLUSION” is highlighted at the top.

Text: Conclusion

Black August is a commemoration of Black liberation movements, resistance to imperialism, wh!te supremacy, colonialism and capitalism. The month centers political prisoners and the sacrifices that freedom fighters made to advance the liberation of Black people across the diaspora. It is a time for us to honor struggles of the past and prepare to carry the tradition of rebellion into the future.

fields. Instead, he apparently laced into the company. According to the Financial Times, Eggers told the staff:

“The effect of ChatGPT on educators’ lives is catastrophic. Whether you intended to do it or not, you’ve made every teacher’s life infinitely more difficult than it was two years ago. So, just let that settle in… If students are using it to compose, which is the biggest tragedy of all, they’ll never learn to write. And their voice is stolen from them. They’ll never have the ability to say their truth and tell their own story. And that’s silencing an entire generation or two.”

Yup. The public needs to get organized & local People's Assemblies in each state are a way to begin. Start collecting testimonies of ICE's impact in your state. Invite all who attend to get behind a campaign to fire everyone in ICE during the first week of any potential Dem presidency. Begin now.
