Leaves more questions for the media blowing what is basically an employment issue out of all proportion. You have a President who lies every time he opens his mouth. Maybe focus on that…

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Minor quibble with the word "appeared" but this is otherwise an accurate description of a thing that happened yesterday. If one of your loved ones did this you would be having hard conversations about giving another family member power of attorney over their bank accounts.

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

Breaking News: The EPA moved to stop requiring polluters to report their emissions of greenhouse gases. The proposal would end a key tool the government uses to track carbon dioxide, methane and other gases that are driving climate change.

The data, from thousands of coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills and other industrial facilities, is the country’s most comprehensive way to track greenhouse gases.

One of the defining features of authoritarian society is the ruthless but selective use of the machinery of repression—and associated propaganda about criminality and “order”—to immunize predatory behavior of the powerful while crushing everyone else into profitable obedience.

“Trump says” vs. actual data on crime dropping in DC is not “Trump says vs. the Mayor says.” It’s “Trump says” vs. fact. Trump’s “crime & squalor” excuse is pretext & his naming other cities all w/Black mayors as his next targets compels an honest confrontation w/Trump’s racism & authoritarianism.

One of the most consequential things Trump is doing. Deserves as much attention as the Epstein mess. But good luck with that. He is changing the policy so that greenhouse gases cannot be regulated and climate change can’t be addressed. Trump is killing the future.
