Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

It’s almost overdose awareness month and we bought a button maker at work. And we’re planning to distribute a 1000 Narcan kits.
Button that says “Please Don’t Die” over a drawing of a Narcan applicator.

Grateful to all who’ve read and supported my AI coverage lately. This is probably the most difficult work I’ve done on the subject to date and I hope it it can be a wake-up call. My profound thanks to Kent Taylor for trusting me with his son Alex’s story.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

This is so class-war coded. As if gay Harvard grads and plumbers are somehow at odds with each other. How does this “divide the electorate” shit still work. They would love us to believe that workers are enemies to one another. It’s always giving: don’t look behind the corporate overlord curtain.

I mean, I voted for Kamala because I felt she could be pressured into acknowledging that there’s a genocide happening. She lost. And now a genocide is still happening, under a US administration that’s actually gleeful about it. Should I hold you personally responsible for that?

Ope. I wondered if it might be. And it definitely was.
IN December 1976 a very dead body was found hanging in a rundown Long Beach, Calif., amusement park ride called "Laff-in-the-Dark." The grotesque discovery was made during a location shoot for the television series "The Six Million Dollar Man," and though the glow-in-the-dark painted corpse had nothing to do with the plot, the irrepressible show business newspaper Variety headlined its story
"Bionic Man Meets Dummy Mummy."
Local officials quickly determined that the body in question was indeed a mummy, but not one from some ancient civilization. An autopsy revealed not only its American origin but also its all-too-American way of death: fragments were found of a bullet that had blasted its way diagonally through the torso to lodge in the left hipbone. Ticket stubs for a Los Angeles "Museum of Crime" some yokel had slipped in its mouth, along with a corroded penny dated 1924, provided a starting place for investigators; they soon came up with the name of Elmer McCurdy, an Oklahoma outlaw who was killed by a posse in 1911 after a botched train robbery.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people
