Simon: "They don't just want the public stuff which anyone can get - name, address, voting history, stuff like that. What they want is very personal, private, sensitive data on millions of people - namely, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, military service history where applicable"

Alex Pretti was a beloved son and Minneapolis community member. He loved the outdoors and dedicated his days to taking care of our veterans as an ICU nurse at the VA. While protecting a fellow community member, he was violently executed in broad daylight by a group of masked federal agents.

Stephen Miller is the architect of ALL of this Nazi ideology. He convinced Dumbass Donnie that he could take over America by force. It was Miller who pardoned 1600 J6 goons, Miller who declared lethal action is warranted. He created the mechanization that murdered Good and Pretti.

More credulous "journalism." Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Todd Blanche are Donald Trump's PERSONAL LAWYERS. They've committed themselves to DO AS HE COMMANDS. There isn't a full, fair, robust, transparent investigation into Alex Pretti's execution by Trump agents because Trump doesn't want one.

As someone who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it), let me tell you something: The lies Trump, Vance and Miller say are not meant to be believed by their followers. They are meant to be REPEATED. The repetition of the lie is the test of loyalty to the cult.

You never see corporate media go out on a limb unless it's to project the idea that Donald Trump is a totally different man—a better one—than he actually is. Here's The Atlantic engaging in the typical corporate media game of soft-promising that Trump is going to be a regular president any day now.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

I agree with my friend Rep. Robert Garcia. The time to reform ICE has passed. This is an agency that cannot be fixed. It is one that needs to no longer exist.

Talarico is right. Stop them now, before they come to your city to do the same.

Screenshot of an X post by James Talarico (@jamestal…; 5h). The text reads: “ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5 year-old boy. ICE executed a man on the street. It’s time to tear down this secret police force.” Below is a video thumbnail showing Talarico speaking at a podium in front of a blue curtain. A TV chyron references a “Democratic U.S. Senate primary debate” and asks, “Do you support defunding or abolishing ICE?” with KXAN/Nexstar branding and “LIVE: U.S. Senate Debate.”

Bonnie Tyler says she's earned "almost nothing" from Total Eclipse of the Heart's one billion streams on Spotify. Yet Spotify supposedly pays artists $0.003 - $0.005 per stream, which would add to a tidy $3m+. Does Tyler need to have a word with her accountant?

Just a reminder that it was only 4 days ago that Trump caused an international furor by denigrating the service of allied combat veterans. Think of all the chaos and mayhem since then in just 4 days. The sheer volume of it is meant to exhaust us and numb us. We mustn’t let it.
