This is very clearly the direction in which things are headed, especially since so many of the people who built and maintained the tools the US IC has developed-in house have been fired or have left.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

ICE detained a Virginia mom while she was driving her 16yo daughter to school bc she couldn’t recall her SS#. “The agent got flustered and lunged at her,” said her daughter. ICE arrested her even after she showed proof of legal status. “I want this video out there because I want my mother home.”

This is unconscionable. There are far too many aspects of this treatment that are unacceptable and inhumane. But it’s hard not to focus on how right-wing ideologues built an entire anti-trans campaign on the premise of protecting women & girls in bathrooms. Where are they?

To be clear Larry Ellison, a billionaire Trump donor who believed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, used his own money to buy CBS and install his son as the boss. They'll then convert CBS into another right wing propaganda mill like Fox News. It's not really subtle!

This is why so many of us should have been listening to Black voices and learning far more about the history of racism in America. All of that led us here. Fascism was already here for many others. And now it’s coming for the rest. If we had fought for others harder, we’d have prevented it.

It’s time to open the books. An investigation needs to be opened into just how much has been spent on the deportations, the detainments, the unknown Stasi. The hotels, per diems. I want to know how much of taxpayer money has been spent to date. How they’re being paid, how much they’re being paid.

Government internet shutdowns are quite common to silence dissent, but I think this is the first time that a government has shut down the internet in its own country as a defensive measure against cyberattacks.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

“MAGA voters wouldn’t be able to pass a literacy test!” No, one more time, slowly — these won’t be little SATs. These will be, as they were before, “tests” that applicants the registrar likes can pass

"Literacy tests" weren't about determining if an applicant could read at X grade level. They enabled local registrars -- some illiterate themselves -- to turn away any applicant they wanted by pronouncing them ignorant. So ask yourself: Who would a MAGA registrar see as "informed about issues"?
