Apparently, because it’s 2020 again, I need to start a thread on police violence targeting journalists in the US.
So, here we go:

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

In spite of the rain, *thousands* of people showed up today to the Hands Off Rally @ the Columbus, OH statehouse. Saw grandparents, students, and everyone in between pushing back against recent executive actions. "This is what Democracy looks like." "No hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here."

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

USPS is a *service.* It offers flat-rate shipping to every address in the continental US and covers the last leg of rural deliveries for private companies for whom those routes are not profitable.
"Losses" are driven by unusual pension requirements not imposed on other agencies.

This is their goal. Privatize everything.
And by “privatize” we mean steer billions to themselves and their friends, ending programs that serve those with the least under the guise of “efficiency”.

Some of my real-life acquaintances with chronic illnesses (and "good" insurance) face similar struggles, finding a treatment that works only to be blocked because the provider overruled their actual doctor, deeming it unnecesary.
UnitedHealthcare tried to deny coverage to a chronically ill patient. He fought back, exposing the insurer’s inner workings.
After a college student finally found a treatment that worked, the insurance giant decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for r...
