Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.

Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

This is a big deal.

No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community to fight back against tyranny.

We must also continue to boycott ICE's corporate collaborators like Amazon, AT&T, and any other company trying to profit off this misery.

"We live in a country where the mantra of the powerful is 'Move on from the dead.' Move on and don't look too hard at who is responsible. Move on and don't ask questions, because questions challenge impunity. Move forward, because justice is divisive to the unjust." -- THEY KNEW (2022)

Our government is locking up innocent children but protecting the men who raped and tortured innocent children.
Do not normalize this.
They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy.
2. Don’t establish other revenue sources.
3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right.
4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls.
5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.

For context: Leonard Leo is one of a half dozen individuals most responsible for our descent into fascism. *He* picked Roberts & Alito, and manipulated Trump into selecting Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and ACB. All of this in his bizarre quest to criminalize abortion, contraception, and homosexuality.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

the problem is that entire generation of dems and their younger disciples are all elitist pricks who think one of their main jobs is to discipline their base, NOT reflect that base's policy preferences. which is why we need to kick every last one of them out of office
I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.

Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.
Their new poll came out today. It's up to 79% support including 66% (!) strongly support.

Comment la Française des jeux nourrit l’écosystème nocif des casinos en ligne aux Comores
L’île comorienne d’Anjouan est un refuge réputé pour des casinos numériques aux pratiques illégales et néfastes. Une filiale du groupe français FDJ y a pourtant obtenu une licence à la validité douteuse pour fournir ses services d’iGaming.
