Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Trump/GOP took your money, our tax payer dollars to pay for his ICE thuggery! ICE is terrorizing citizens throughout the nation, maiming & killing law abiding men, women, & children! Trump/GOP took our $ that was previously used to fund our schools, help reduce healthcare costs etc. & put into ICE!

Legal question: can Twitter retroactively change its ToS to require *existing* litigation be moved to the Northern District of Texas? Seems to me a private company’s ToS shouldn’t be able to dictate jurisdiction at all, let alone ex post facto. www.thebulwark.com/p/media-matt...

Attention Trump administration
This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India.
It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal.

Trump’s regime just cut over $1 billion from addiction and mental health care. That money supports treatment programs, counselors, and crisis services. Slashing it during a worsening mental health emergency, especially for teens and young adults, literally puts lives at risk.
