It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians.

Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.”

It’s a perception game and narrative control.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

While they're at it can they bar sheriffs from contracting with ICE?

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

So ICE is supposed to be removing the fence but instead has, for now, acquired even more fence for mysterious purposes

Tyler Pasciak LaRiviere @tylerplariviere.bsky.social · 4h

A lots happened, a flatbed with fence equipment entered the facility a couple dozen agents came out, chatted with ISP, and three ICE marked vehicles have come out and are parked in front of the fence on beach street.

Unfortunate but unsurprising update from the Homeland Security Twitter account.

Interesting in light of today’s leaked Young Republicans’ racist chat news that DHS isn’t even bothering to hide it anymore.

We're told at least one person was arrested—and later released with a citation for disorderly—by Broadview police for simply being on the Maywood side of 25th at Harvard St outside the ICE facility this morning.

They were documenting agents coming and going as electeds have told people to do.

The more GOP officials and right-wing hacks try to spin and pivot from their Young Republican leaders praising Hitler and racism and gas chambers for their enemies, the more it puts the story in the spotlight.

Keep at it!

Financial journalism takes many forms

But in all seriousness, we now have three publicly-traded tech firms that have all agreed to join Sam Altman’s No IT Loads Refused Cash Dump, all promising to do things on insane timelines that they - as executives of giant hardware manufacturers - all must know are impossible to meet.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.
