The biggest scam in American politics isn’t hiding in the shadows — it’s sitting on the bench. SCOTUS pretending to be ‘nonpartisan.’ Everyone knows it’s the GOP’s weapon, wrapped in robes.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Even if all those fishing boats are filled with drug-smugglers, you don't get to slaughter them. You capture, arrest, and follow due process. Otherwise, it's murder.
