Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too.
For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case…

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Unlike what we saw at the Oscars, Bad Bunny showed courage.
Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to god, I'm going to say, ICE out. We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.

The most important part of the Rehmet campaign (in my humble opinion as a local political scientist whose opinion nobody asked for) is that Rehmet ran as a union man.
Rehmet is a union president, and this was an unapologetically pro labor campaign.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

"Plans for ‘mega centers’ and jails in nearly two dozen communities… Currently, there are more than 73,000 people in ICE custody, a record. The new sites could give the agency an additional 76,500 beds."
If the existing beds remain, that would be space to detain 150,000 humans.

How Minnesotans Faced Down MAGA
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

My loose info so far is that the Minneapolis General Strike today had about 80 unions sign on, and it might be one of the biggest labor actions in decades depending on your definition
