Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

In my e-mail with a photo of Trump in front of burger, salad, & water: EVENT CANCELLED I canceled my lunch break because I had to debate whether this was worth sharing with you. THE ULTIMATUM: This is far too important to keep from you. It’s about your Platinum Membership! He skipped lunch for me!

WHO denied him bringing all his meds? WHO didn't administer the 1 med in detention? WHO supervised? WHO signed off? WHO ignored his pleas & was responsible for checking on him? All of these people need investigation. If there's no evidence trail, then disband ICE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The buck is supposed to stop at the top. If there are no body cameras, then the $22 million for ICE equipment should be deducted from the salaries of the very top DHS/ICE officials, 100% garnishment until it adds up. And murder through negligence. (As if that's all that happened to him.)

This is truth.

They ask soldiers to sacrifice their bodies overseas while asking Americans to sacrifice theirs at home. One bleeds in war. The other skips chemo, rations insulin, and avoids the ER. Different battlefields. Same cost. #FundHealthcareNotWars

Back in the 80's, my partner had a button describing a Reagan supporting group: "The Moral Majority is Neither". The Patriot Front are... not patriots. But they ARE a Front. A front for racism, misogyny, bigotry, thuggery, etc. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

46 years ago, George HW Bush, who called Reagan's proposed policies 'voodoo economics', dropped his Republican primary run & soon became Reagan's VP pick. A 1980 Steve Sack comic showed an unhinged looking Bush gulping voodoo econ from a flask. Applies to Vance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Let's hear it for President Dealmaker, who negotiated and signed USMCA (calling it the “best and most important trade deal ever made"), then ran against it, won, and breached it while asking "who would ever sign a thing like this?' from the same desk where he signed it, and now won't renew it.

Reich: "The idea of “the common good” was once widely understood and accepted (here). After all, the U.S. Constitution was designed for “We the people” seeking to “promote the general welfare” not for "me the selfish jerk seeking as much wealth & power as possible.” open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Wish is was the truth! "As your President, I hate to be the bearer of disappointing news but... My mid-month fundraising deadline is in less than 72 HOURS, and we’re still MOUNTAINS AWAY from reaching MAGA’s goal. If we're going to maintain the House and Senate majority, you must give $20.26."

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.
