We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Big Oil has known for over 50 years that burning fossil fuels would cause "globally catastrophic harms."

Those are their own words.

And yet they kept burning.

Listen to David Arkush testify in front of Senate Judiciary on Big Oil's complicity in the climate crisis:

Trump is sending 2,000 ADDITIONAL National Guard troops to LA.

There haven't been any protest-related arrests since Saturday.

Hell - many of the protests have already died down.

Trump is using the military as a personal political weapon to inspire fear in people who oppose him.

A sitting U.S. Senator was just forcibly thrown out of a DHS presser.

A SITTING U.S. SENATOR was physically stopped from asking questions in an OPEN PRESS CONFERENCE.

This. is. not. normal.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend.

His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.”

He might never walk again. For showing up.

This is brutality. This is America.

No, the billionaire President, the world’s wealthiest man, and the VP that had his Senate campaign bankrolled by a tech billionaire are not doing the bidding of the working class.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Trump ordered a federal spending freeze on all grants & loans.

Students won't receive financial aid. Food assistance programs like SNAP are on pause. Programs like Medicaid and rental assistance will be impacted.

All this does is make it harder for working people to survive.

A week ago I was being told to apologize for saying Trump would be worse for Gaza because he faked a temporary pause/pretend ceasefire to coincide with his inauguration.

Now he’s just openly endorsing/encouraging ethnic cleansing.
On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.

“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”
