Portland woman testifies that police lied about ICE activity in Oregon when 12 to 15 agents surrounded her vehicle, and she called 911 for help on December 10th. "I have a question for the police. If you refuse to do your job, are you prepared for us to do it for you?"
The suspect in the mass shooting at Brown University last weekend is dead, a US attorney said, as authorities investigate whether the same person killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor two days after the rampage at Brown reut.rs/3Y3rNDa
MAGA absolutely HATES George W Bush for starting a foreign war to protect American oil interests.
But MAGA loves Donald J Trump for... *checks notes*... starting a foreign war to protect American oil interests.
Daniel Biss: "Following my confrontation with Greg Bovino, it is clear that ICE/CBP intends to persist with their community disruptions. I am calling for the immediate mobilization of rapid response teams to utilize whistles and other alert systems to protect our residents."
Greg Bovino is back in Chicago, and ICE has been spotted in the Evanston area.
The best way to keep our loved ones safe is to alert the community whenever possible. Whistles are one of the most accessible tools to warn neighbors and disrupt ICE incursions.
Come pick up a whistle, if you need one!
On Dec 17, 1963, one of the first major pieces of environmental legislation in the US becomes law. The Clean Air Act empowers federal and state agencies to research and regulate air pollution, marking a major expansion of government efforts to fight back against the damage being done to the climate.
Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

Fuck republicans (and neo-liberals) and their hero worship of this demented piece of shit. His admin is singularly responsible for killing the middle class, deconstructing mental health support, fragging education, the HERITAGE FOUNDATION, and education our wealth inequality.
Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.
Here we are again.
We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

Excuse me, WUT!
You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.
😢🇺🇸😢U.S. has an estimated 400M+ guns, surpassing the population. Ammo production exceeds 8B rounds annually. Exact numbers vary due to private ownership & lack of centralized records, but the U.S. leads globally in civilian firearm ownership😢🇺🇸😢 #USAapple.news/A6HkeczBRRGi...
We are heartbroken by the attack at Bondi Beach that targeted the Jewish community during a Hanukkah celebration, as families gathered to mark a sacred holiday.
Now and always, we condemn this act of antisemitic violence, and violence in all its forms.
Crockett reminded them and stated the pure clear FACTS. This is who should run our country. The rest do not have the spine to fight like she does. Jasmine thank you for showing how it’s done. WHAT A BADASS. MEN this is how it’s done.
Everyone learn from her.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
🇮🇹Italy: Thousands demonstrate against Prime Minister Meloni's budget.
Italian unions have said that the new budget bill would "worsen people's living and working conditions," underfunding healthcare and education, while overspending on defense.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is hosting more than 120 community-led events across NYC this weekend to ensure their neighbors have whistles and know their rights, all to protect from escalating ICE abductions.
This. Is. The. Way.
If you're in New York, you can find events near you at HandsOffNYC.com.
Steve Bannon must answer questions under oath about his relationship and dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.
Haul his ass before Oversight.
Hell, get Pamela Jo to investigate Bannon if she’s a real Attorney General.
There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line.
Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.
The wind chill this weekend is no joke, so we’re canceling our Buffalo Grove canvass launch.
But we’re still organizing from home! Join our virtual phonebank and help us reach voters safely.
At @inthesetimes.com, we've been following how tenant unions are adapting strategies from organized labor.
Here's a fascinating story about the flipside: a corporate landlord taking a page from anti-union employers, even hiring a "union avoidance" firm. (1/8)

Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave DHS $170 billion to ramp up its mass deportations.
That's at least $116 million A DAY to burn.
So what does Kristi Noem do with that kind of money?
Buy a private fleet of deportation jets, of course.
Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.
This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."
ICYMI - Halle Berry is all out of f*cks
"Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women… by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either."
