The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Crippled capitalism - as sectors become more concentrated, and dominated by fewer, larger companies, the economy loses a huge amount of it's capacity for production. Fewer people are able to utilize their skill, talent and creativity when fewer and fewer individuals are directing those efforts.

Eating chips on steps in New Rochelle NY, Jonatan López was violently snatched by ICE! Unmarked cars, no warrant shown, agents grabbing phones from witnesses. Absolute abuse of power and terrorizing our communities! ICE acts like a rogue militia with total impunity. This must stop NOW! 🎥 Univision

I'm a former cop. ICE isn't law enforcement, it's a militia.
ICE shootings in Houston and in Biddeford, Maine, are the predictable output of a federal agency that lacks training, oversight and a settled mission.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

The application of eminent domain is messed up. They pay market rate even though the owners haven't put them on the market, nor do they have any opportunity to receive multiple offers to select the best one. Governments should be paying a steep premium for the forced sale.

Just ate some pulled pork that'd been cooking all day. Put some bbq rub on a pork shoulder, seared it up, then cooked it for 9hrs. with some chicken stock and fig preserves. Reduced the cooking juices and combined with some bbq sauce before mixing it up with the shredded pork for sandwiches. :9

This political cartoon by artist Jesse Duquette highlights two distinct moments of political violence in American history:

Tulsa 1921: Refers to the Tulsa Race Massacre, where a white mob destroyed the prosperous Greenwood District.

D.C. 2021: Refers to the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol.

Message: The cartoon argues that these events demonstrate a historical pattern of accountability not being enforced for certain acts of violence.

The bill I read sounded pretty wild, like a split-away county could take important county infrastructure with them. And exclusions of real rural property could result in weird exclaves. Also, drove me nuts how they use the language of "seceding county" to refer to the county being seceded from.
