So after they ‘wear’ cams, then what? They need to be specifically ordered to turn them on, never turn them off, preserve all footage indefinitely, and turn over footage when required by municipal, state or federal law or court order. And there need to be penalties, fines and jail time spelled out.

I have a lot of respect for Zolan Kanno-Youngs and @haleaziz.bsky.social and have talked to both many times in the past. That the Times lets them be so blunt about what is happening with the U.S. refugee admissions program is a good sign of how much the Trump admin is not even trying to deny it.

The Trump administration is considering a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

The proposals, some of which already have gone into effect, would transform a decades-old program aimed at helping the world’s most desperate people into one that conforms to Mr. Trump’s vision of immigration — which is to help mostly white people who say they are being persecuted while keeping the vast majority of other people out.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

If you’re tired of seeing your tax dollars go to Argentina while Trump tariffs kill your local businesses and make everything more expensive

…or worried you’ll get snatched off the streets by ICE because you’re not the “right” skin color, despite being here legally

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

Hamas said no such thing. In the interest of full transparency and the duty to warn, every headline about Trump should contain the phrase ‘Trump, a notorious and unrepentant serial liar’… The same phrase should also appear at the top, middle and bottom of any article about him. Always.

DHS using ‘Remigration’ is like Trump saying immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country, which is like Hitler saying Jews were poisoning the blood of the Reich. There’s an unmistakable pattern…

GOP Speaker Johnson refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva despite winning her election 2 weeks ago with 70% of the vote is a practice run for what GOP plans to do after 2026 election. They will not seat Democrats who won to keep control of the House. Dems need to fight hard on this now!

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.
