I need people to understand that if you’ve dealt with ice, if you’ve had to worry about you or your kids or neighbors disappearing, if you see the govt giving nazis carte blanche to kill you, every “reform”’ from democrats who currently reject abolition sounds insane. and frankly fucking stupid

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.
Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?

It's taking longer to find a new job when you are laid off. I get so many inquiries from people who have been out of work for over a year.

For those looking at Tom Homan's offer to MN sheriffs -- it's called a Basic Ordering Agreement. In essence, to skirt state law, DHS pays $50 in exchange for sheriffs to hold people 48 hours past their release date. It's not really a contract; it's like a warehousing agreement for bodies.

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.
my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

today's report:
our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children
this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

The Washington Post Is No Longer Useful to Jeff Bezos
In a kleptocracy, there is no reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet.
