🚨 This is another win for Big Oil and other big polluters at the expense of everyone else.

Instead of giving polluters a free ride, we should pass my Polluters Pay bill to make them — not all of us — pay the bill for the huge amount of damage they’ve caused.

You can't teach history without getting them to do the basic repeated, tedious readings of primary sources, connecting to secondary sources, and build their own analytical capacities and abilities to build historical narratives. NONE of that should be replaced with gAI.

Now that Dems refuse to vote for DHS funding until there are serious ICE reforms, Republicans are suddenly citing the importance of TSA.

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

What a stupid timeline where we can be bombed and killed in our own homes for no reason, yet are forbidden from paying public tribute to slain athletes. This is not neutrality, this is silencing the victim.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner.

I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Hard to not see echoes of the book Dying of Whiteness in this story about a Georgia town that might now literally run out of water because they voted overwhelmingly for Trump, and now his administration is building an ICE facility in their backyard that will triple the population.
A town's warehouse will become an ICE detention center. The town says it wasn't asked
The conservative town of Social Circle, Georgia, is upset about a warehouse that is set to become an immigrant detention center. The federal government didn't ask city officials if they wanted it.

Seems like a lot of evidence against a “the failure was democratic messaging” story of 2024. What’s happening, that people disapprove of, is exactly what prominent democrats said would happen (and often was written down in Project 2025).
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

THREAD 🧵Our investigation and public pressure, has brought significant consequences for those associated with Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell domestically and abroad. We want to keep the public informed about some of the consequences individuals have faced.

Our work is just getting started.
