To @DaveWeigel.bsky.social’s point, it’s never once been “no,” and everyone in Trump’s government is refusing to answer what happened to the $50,000 in taxpayer money that Homan never denied taking inside a paper bag.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Tariffs were always a risk for inflation, says the Fed. But this analysis shows those tariffs are part of a 1945 Army plan for native fascism—pay attention, it’s more than economics.

@nlgchicago.bsky.social is trying to raise $10k to fund ongoing legal support for protesters. They've had to cover long shifts at Broadview, and their volunteers have been repeatedly assaulted by police in the process. More info with ways to donate here: instagram.com/p/DP36ITJja-W/

So the feds have now directed states NOT to send out November SNAP benefits.

A whole bunch of people are going to go hungry this Thanksgiving.

FUCK THAT HEARTLESS DUDE!

If you haven’t donated to a food bank recently, now is a good time to start.

I was once whining to a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist that one of my key sources had cut me off. She said: "Access is overrated." And indeed it is. The press is not likely to miss out on any crucial Pentagon stories just because they can't roam the corridors.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

DO NOT FOLLOW ME if you don’t think Antifa is good.

I am proudly Antifa - If it was an organisation, I’d probably be the President of a Chapter.

Antifa is AntiFascism. Fascism is evil. End of story. Not open for discussion.

If you are not anti fascism you’re on the wrong side of history.
