Step One of sending intellectually and developmentally disabled people to “work farms.” Trump was hankering to get rid of the Dept of Ed, anyway; little piggy Johnson just gave him a way to blame it on Democrats.

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

This is important exculpatory evidence bc the indictment accuses James of seeking a “second home” mortgage when in reality she intended to use it as an “investment” home by renting it out.

(James disclosed between $1,000-5,000 in rent during 1st year, but the contract allowed short term rentals.)

NYT reports that Letitia James’s great niece lives in the home that is the subject of the indictment.

The niece reportedly testified before a *different* grand jury, telling them that she had lived there for many years without paying rent. James visits regularly.

But in June, IMs. Thompson testified to a grand
jury in Norfolk that she had lived in the house for years and that she did not pay rent, a person familiar with her testimony said. She was not asked to testify again, and the grand jury that voted to indict Ms. James was not seated in Norfolk, but in Alexandria.
The specter of Mr. Trump's revenge campaign has so far overshadowed the facts of the case, given how he has pushed for Ms. James's punishment. For years, he has railed against her on social media, calling her a "crook" and
"corrunt" Last month. he also appointed Ms.

The family, Nakia Thompson and her children, have lived at the address ever since, according to two people familiar with the home, and until this week, the plan for a more lacid existence had largely gone as expected. Several times a year, the people said, a great-aunt who had purchased the house in 2020 with Ms.
Thompson in mind would come for an extended stay.
This week, with the filing of court papers some 200 miles north, the plan came to an abrupt end.
The great-aunt - Letitia James, the New York attorney general - was indicted by President Trump's Justice Department. The yellow house,

This is in my neighborhood.

The statute that he cites, 18 USC 111, only applies to people who “forcibly” interfere. He knows it, and every American who gets threatened like that should know it.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

The power trip these “agents” are clearly enjoying and the “above the law” attitude should disturb everyone around the world. The lack of empathy, professionalism, and humanity in every kidnapping is revolting.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Thousands march in Portland, including Oregon Governor, Tina Kotek, and the Mayor of Portland, Keith Wilson.

The White House is waging war on Democratic cities with Black Mayors and has targeted Portland, for punishment, as one of the leading cities with white anti-racist/anti-fascist organizing.

What’s especially galling about these many of the CDC firings is these are technical positions, not political ones, yet there has been (and won’t be) any policy-based explanation, even a nonsensical one, from Kennedy et alia as to why they were fired. Impeach Kennedy. Impeach him now.
