Censorship has fully arrived. In the latest, Apple banned an app that archived ICE abuses for legal evidence

Every single day, censorship gets stronger as media and corporations bend to serve the regime
Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses
Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

If ACA healthcare subsidies are not extended, a 60-year-old earning $65k in Key West, Fla. could see premiums go from $460 a month with the subsidies to $2,400 a month without.

SECOND, on a much larger scale, as Fred Kaplan explains here, the government is laying down a farrago of lies as the official predicate for military action against Americans.

Huge piles of claims in here are false—about America's "well-financed" domestic "terror network," etc.
It’s Hard to Overstate How Disturbing This Trump Directive Is
It’s the clearest statement of the president’s intentions that we’ve seen so far.

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well.

To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is.

Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Trump says US will start striking drug traffickers on land because, after yet another strike last night on a boat off Venezuela, "they're not coming in by sea anymore, so now we'll have to start looking about the land because they'll be forced to go by land."

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.
