every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

New GOP logo just dropped.

Terrifying numbers in latest annual survey of federal workers from @ourpublicservice.bsky.social. For example, DoD workers' trust in Hegseth is in the toilet. Only 11.5% of Army employees say their dept's political leaders "maintain high levels of integrity." Similar numbers for Navy, Air Force

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran. The answer is NO. We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”. Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists. Name them, record them, and make it public.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it. He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America. Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

ICE getting a drive-by bird from the mailman. Perfect.

hi @uaw.org, do you confirm or deny that Shawn Fain called Lutnick and glazed Trump?

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

"Major labor unions in Minnesota are supporting the January 23rd call to shut down the state, including Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, and St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28 — and organizers expect this list to grow."

Republican South Carolina state Rep. RJ May sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison today. 5 counts of distributing child sex abuse material. He shared hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds. Moms of Liberty had named him its Legislator of the Year.

Do not fund them. At all. Look at anything happening in Minnesota they are terrorizing us. I’m living in an active war zone. Defund and abolish is now completely centrist.

Minnesota should move to arrest the ICE officers or CBP agents involved and prosecute, just as Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Bluesky is hiding our post which shows what happened in Minneapolis, even though there's no graphic content (the victim is never shown). Video evidence shows the public what happened and allows people to form an opinion, which is especially important when officials call it an act of terrorism.

if they did January 6 today, it'd be called "January 6-7." Thank you for reading. RIP Ashley Babbert

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

Health Speculations Swirl As Trump Seen With Damage Numbers Above Head https://theonion.com/health-speculations-swirl-as-trump-seen-with-damage-numbers-above-head/

These organizers are on the frontlines doing important documentation work. And being threatened by the least accountable, least professional “officers” you can imagine. And @lataco.bsky.social is a national treasure. www.instagram.com/reel/DSYMQiI...

Why are you people so fucking stupid? Goddamnit, can't you see what will happen? Try to think for a change.

While the Democrats sell us out… newrepublic.com/article/2045...

For millions of us, this was the first time we ever saw Rob Reiner. …When he became “Meathead” on “All in the Family.” He was brilliant from Day One.

I've called on students who haven't done any reading all semester who look less like deer in the headlights than this guy. Such a clown show. (Also, isn't it AN-ti-fa, not an-TI-fa? No one was "I'm anTI-fascist." Tho maybe the goal is distract from what the group the FBI is anti to is anti to.)

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

Commentary from a server who was victim of wage theft writes that national estimates show that 1 in 5 low-wage workers are victims of wage theft. Minneapolis leaders: Do not cut wage theft enforcement budget minnesotareformer.com/2025/12/03/m...

Even if they were on a "drug mission," the first strike was illegal and the second strike even more wildly illegal. This is absolute nonsense from someone who committed war crimes and is now scrambling for cover. Lock him up.

NEW: A ProPublica and @highcountrynews.org investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supercharging the system.

“Home Deport”. $HD

Always, always, ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY!

"Quiet, piggy!"

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.
