The Trump admin just admitted — in a buried Labor Dept. filing — that its own immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and driving up food prices. The report warns the “near total cessation” of migrant labor is threatening “the stability of domestic food production.” F***ing DUH.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink.

While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief.

We don’t treat public servants as pawns.
The Washington Post: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown.”

Constitutionally protected militias are free and independent of the state. Our Rights & Liberty weren't pulled out of the sky or drawn from a hat. They were written in blood & they must be defended & strengthened with blood. Rights & Liberty are only as strong as the People willing to exercise them.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.

Trump may or may not be collaborating with oligarchs, autocrats & dictators, but he wants exactly what they have or want, wealth, power & control. NO, NO, NO!

Dozens of millions of us do NOT want to kill capitalism. BUT, we do want to expand socialism, which is why the oligarchs, incapable of moderating their greed, line up to help Trump try to reduce Democratic turnout at the midterm ballot box.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Many bigots will probably never admit their racism, b/c they lack the patience to realize that oppressed minorities can’t just dismiss their frustrations in a single generation, or even several, just b/c government decisions established legal civil rights.
