This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

At this point, they’re hoping to turn the country over to him after they invoke the insurrection act and phase out 🍊’s public appearances. They’ll use AI, maybe actors, and bribes to keep 🍊 in power after he expires.

Yes! There’s even a way for those of us who can’t afford an indefinite strike to participate!

WHAT IS A GENERAL STRIKE?

A GENERAL STRIKE IS WHEN WORKING PEOPLE REFUSE THEIR LABOR UNTIL DEMANDS ARE MET • RESEARCH SHOWS WE NEED 3.5% OF THE POPULATION, OR 11 MILLION AMERICANS, TO BE SUCCESSFUL • THE STRIKE CARD BELOW TRACKS OUR PROGRESS SO WE ALL KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO STRIKE •

Miller oopsie doodled and said the quiet part out loud, talking about DT aka himself having “plenary authority”:

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations

I agree that you need to act right now, so explain why you refuse to support withholding our federal taxes or promotion of state-level universal healthcare! #HonorYourOath

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

NEW

The Epstein flight network just got a lot bigger.

A new analysis by Zalingo Data Refinery uncovered 2,348 additional connections to Epstein’s island across 5,253 flight records (1995–2007) — bringing the total to nearly 5,000 flights linked to that island.

Quit it with the blame game and offer solutions. Tell us what action you are taking or say nothing. Be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. #HonorYourOath

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

“Even during the recent, abbreviated, public comment period , 99 percent of respondents opposed the rollback of the Roadless Rule.”

Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · 1d

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads, drilling and other disturbances.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws"

Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.
