I hate that the biggest story from Jack Smith's testimony yesterday was that kerfuffle with that Senator looking like an idiot for confusing the Iowa Hawkeyes w/the Atlanta Hawks. It's obscured the important story of the crimes of which Jack Smith was investigating DJT + the evidence uncovered.

Nurses and community members are protesting in San Francisco today as part of the "People vs. Palantir" Global Week of Action. Organizers say the demonstration is focused on Palantir's work with ICE and concerns over immigration enforcement.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

The latest ICE cruelty the Trump administration is pushing, mobile detention centers. This latest inhumane treatment of migrants would allow for untold arrests across the country and create legal loopholes for any state/city that attempts to go against it.

Trump expressed support for the Iraq war as it started. He later criticized Bush for not stealing oil or doing enough war crimes (namely targeting innocent family members of insurgents). Then he acted on that vision of war with Iran, and it's failing badly. Enough Trump-absolving revisionist BS.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.
