The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.

This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

This is who I’ve been waiting to hear from: @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, about the latest release of the Epstein files!

Thank you @mollyjongfast.bsky.social for keeping us informed about the things we care about! Or *should* care about.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Leavitt claims Trump's ICE activity is "fulfilling the will of the people".

They are gaslighting us all. Will we ever get to see the end of this madness? I’m sick of those lies and repressions.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.

This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

The simplest change Congress could make to ICE would be making agents/officers explicitly personally and civilly liable for wrongfully detaining US citizens. That would instantly change a lot of the behavior we see on the streets.
A 23-year-old US citizen was detained by ICE for two days. During the arrest, she was called a racial slur and suffered a concussion.

TIL they’re calling DHS’s operation in Maine “Catch of the Day.” This dehumanizing language tells you all you need to know. It’s a big joke to them.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

📌It just seems like a prosecutor testifying publicly he had an abundance of evidence that could have jailed our sitting president for life, should get wall-to-wall coverage.

Is our legacy media really that bought-off and/or incompetent that an historic occasion like this is treated so casually?
