Today we got access to a smoking gun document from ICE that shows how it is weaponized against progressive groups registering voters while building a voter suppression database.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

"Trump's threat to ban diesel exports could itself spook markets into believing that the situation is worse than feared, meaning US prices for consumers wouldn’t fall. In short, a desperate and chaotic Trump is, again, harming his allies and the world for a plan that is almost certain not to work."

It’s exhausting. So. Think twice before berating some front desk clerk for telling you to take your knitting back to your car. They didn’t make the rule, and if the rule was made at all, it’s probably for a reason. You can ask who to ask about compromises or exceptions or whatever. Just be kind.

When I felt like my administration had my back, it was frightening sometimes, yeah, but I knew I wasn’t likely to be fired for someone getting shirty with me. The failed COVID response stripped that away, and suddenly it was on us to deescalate, educate, defend ourselves but not fight back.

Good people are tense, fraying, struggling. Bad people are feeling smug, entitled, looking for fights. Mis and disinformation is everywhere, and there’s only so much public servants can take while being paid peanuts and treated with (at best!) indifference by management.

My buddy managed a Walmart. Someone literally bit one of his employees in the face on Black Friday, and he says that wasn’t even the most dangerous thing that happened that day. If all you’re doing is working at home or with clients or coworkers, I don’t think you’re getting the full picture.

The two places where adult men experience the highest rates of sexual assault are in the military and while incarcerated. That fact alone proves that sexual assault is about power, domination and humiliation. It's about making someone "your bitch" - proving the inherent misogyny involved.
