IT HAS TO STOP!
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Has a year of Trump’s unhinged immoral ICE raid & deportation fiasco achieved anything? Prices aren’t down, housing costs aren’t down, job creation is mediocre, and crime continues on the same trajectory as the prior 30 years, a slow decline. Where is the proof this has accomplished ANYTHING?

The Maduro regimes continues to run Venezuela without Maduro. How did US removal of Maduro to steal their oil help the people of Venezuela? If this was about helping the Venezuelan people, Trump would not be backing the current regime. But it’s about stealing oil, nothing else.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
