Thank you, @maddow.bsky.social , for spotlighting the opposition to Trump’s concentration camps being built around the country.

Many of these are for profit, profiting from cruelty and human suffering with our tax dollars.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

This can’t be shared too much. Trump & his FCC crony are censoring who talk show hosts can invite as their guests-James Talarico on Colbert. Corp media—is selling out our 1A rights to curry favor w/a corrupt regime. This is dangerous when censoring comes from the top! We must stand against this!

I long for the days when scandals like this would have caused heads to roll.
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

State propaganda tools Fox News & Newsmax are so blatantly government controlled that they’d never report on one of these Trump fraud cases, let alone the current ones.
It still blows my mind that the Republican party has blatantly run Fox News for decades and the FCC let them call it “news.”
🧵The irony of the grifter in chief going after California for alleged fraud is, well, rich.

Trump pardons fraudsters regularly.

Trump paid $25m for Trump University fraud.

Trump's kids defrauded people for a cancer charity.

And Dr Oz? Once jailed for Medicaid fraud.
From Trump to YouTube influencers, the right is obsessed with fraud in California
Little has resulted so far from Trump’s often vague warnings to California. But his administration continues to ramp up pressure on the state.

📌 Folks, you’re on social media, here is something everyone can do. Google “ICE facility being built in” and insert your state or county. If you find one, put it on blast and contact your local officials to say you oppose it. We need to protest these facilities before they open.

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:

The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.
