Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Mayors of Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles.
Watch this. And start passing laws that demand any landlord whose low rent buildings are raided by ICE must return those buildings to rent control or mixed income rentals if they carry out renovations within 5 years of that raid.

Well, if it makes anyone feel better-
Trump is deliberately requesting thr Guard in 29 day terms instead of 30.
That way he doesn’t have to give them full pay, food allowance, OR pay health insurance!
So, these guys are gonna be picking up trash for half pay!

I’d also like to urge the people negotiating contracts to start charging more handling fees on all contracts and putting that extra into a fund that would pay employees during unpaid furlough.
The GOP has been closing things down way too often not to adapt.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 23h

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

ACLU @aclu.org · 23h

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

But I hear you.
Writing from West Los Angeles, gentrification of our local markets has gotten to the point where the only things I can reliably find in some stores is skinless boneless chicken breast, frozen cocktail shrimp, and overpriced steaks.

It seems a lot of already over worked Air traffic controllers
have decided to call in sick.
Wow- budget slashed, thousands of people depending on thier fast & accurate work- while the systems they have to use are held together with wads of bubblegum?
Why in the WORLD would they call out?

A lot of homeless around Santa Monica have been pressured off the streets and into the local hills.
Where they start fires to get warm. And the fires spread.
And with rents skyrocketing and jobs disappearing?
This is going to be a bigger problem in coming times.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

With the price of beef now?
I’m betting there were a lot more packs of stew meat earlier in the day.
And that packaging the more tender scraps of meat for “fondue” is a new ploy to charge more.
