Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

JUST IN: Comey faces one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice in connection.

Oregon GOP Rep.Cliff Bentz and his staff spent 6x the average on Tr*mp's inauguration. Records show that 4 staff spent $16,000 just on 3 days worth of hotels. This man supported the firing of federal officials in his district and taking away Medicaid from his constituents in the name of saving $$.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

BBC: “Al Jazeera’s entire team in Gaza city has been killed.”

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi just received a huge standing ovation in a Trump +5 Congressional District at Hofstra University after talking about how despicable Trump‘s behavior was in the Oval Office with Zelensky. Americans are furious.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Under the new Trump-Putin Regime our allies are leaders who use force, fear, and even poison to hold on to power. We have abandoned the allies of good. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social on the LP Podcast: bit.ly/3EDHoCV

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day.

But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

They found the 300 million condoms in Palestine! Turns out new press secretary, KkKaroline, was talking about a George W Bush partnership with the WHO to improve sex education in Gaza, Mozambique. Two different Gazas- classic mix-up.

Trump's Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy voted against FAA funding in 2019 during his time in Congress. His vote to defund the air safety agency raises questions about his current role overseeing transportation safety.

You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Pete Hegseth, President Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, paid $50,000 to the woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017, according to answers he provided to a senator during his confirmation process that The Associated Press has obtained.
