DHS claims that agents in NYC only shot Oscar Belgal because he "weaponized his vehicle." We don't know the truth...yet But we do know that DHS keeps making that claim, and it keeps falling apart The Guardian tracked 26 cases Just one got ended in conviction www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

most of those claims have fallen apart under scrutiny, with the accusations consistently disproven by evidence or rejected in court. Only one of the 26 cases has resulted in an assault conviction, according to court records and information shared by prosecutors.

The Trump admin admitted it made a mistake in illegally deporting this man TWICE, but — like it initially did with Kilmar Abrego Garcia — it's defying a court order & refuses to bring him back. This federal judge is right to hold the admin in contempt. There must be a penalty for flouting the law.

X Post from @kyledcheney: JUST IN: A federal judge (Trump-appointed Stephanie Gallagher) has held the Trump administration in contempt for deporting a man to El Salvador in violation of three court orders. She's ordering the government to return him.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Prices now are absurd. I had to buy two recently. I strongly recommend buying a nas grade drive and an HDD docking station or your own enclosure. Ideally have at least 2 drives where one is a clone of the other. Then a cloud based emergency backup plan.

I mean, seriously. Were there politicians back in 1945 who thought "Yeah we should just reform the Schutzstaffel. It would be politically foolish to say we should defund or abolish them. I bet we can reign them in by re-writing laws that already exist. I'm sure they'll follow them this time."

Trump foreign policy is the opposite of chess. Chess requires you to anticipate moves from your opponent, think through them, and make plans to counter and take advantage of them. He doesn’t do that. He plows forward and assumes his opponent will be incapable of resistance.

Control of the House came down to 7,000 votes in five districts during the last midterms. We can’t take anything for granted this year, especially as the regime threatens mail-in voting, targets registration programs, and even tries to ban states from encouraging people to vote.

Sonya Massey’s family and loved ones remain in my thoughts today. Her killing was a profound loss that can never be reversed — Sonya was innocent, unarmed, and calling for help. A painful reminder that too many Black Americans have faced this violence, and they deserve justice.
