The Trump administration's authoritarian house of cards is starting to fall down
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is "[o]n his way home." Another grand jury rejected DOJ's effort to indict Letitia James. And, Indiana Republicans said no to Trump's redistricting pressure.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

More people on our side need to learn the essential power of Making a Scene
This was a main take-away from a self-defense class I took. We practiced yelling at people because when like, a guy takes his dick out on the subway most people are too shocked to say anything in the moment, unless you practice.

This is a good message, but I’d delete the last sentence.
Colorado isn’t in the rogue 5th Circuit, but with this corrupt SCOTUS, it’s important to remember oaths are taken to the Constitution, not to Roberts and Alito.
If SCOTUS says Trump can, the right rely is “hell no: he—and you—cannot.”

It's actually pretty brilliant. They can make $100M a year doing absolutely nothing, producing no value whatsoever. It's pure evil.
Here's the full-circle scam
Ultra-wealthy PE's and bankers buy politicians who promise not to tax them
Politicians instead borrow from pension funds to pay for public infrastructure
Pension funds go insolvent and get stuck yield-chasing
Pension funds have to invest in funds managed by said PE's
