The aforementioned article is a short good read. I kept thinking of Trump and his cabinet piled in Times Square. (Not wishing for it, I'd rather see them in jail after a trial).
ICE took two American citizens and one undocumented person from City Heights El super 11:30 AM
several vehicles pointed their guns at community members and tried to hit them with their cars
The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM.
They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war.
Happy Labor Day.
This year's Ig Nobel prizes included a set of studies of what a lot of us have observed. More financially privileged people are more likely to be bad actors when driving, taking candy from children, and more.

REMINDER: There are now just 66 DAYS until the Nov 3 midterm. Saying this is the most important election in our lives is an understatement. This is the most important election in the life of our Republic. Our freedoms and our democracy hang in the balance. We must UNITE to win!!
If a person stands in the town square shouting that they are going to kill people, they get arrested.
If a hundred people goose-step on the streets waving flags with swastikas, they get a police escort for their own protection.
Why waste public resources to protect would-be mass murderers?
It really looks like Jeffries lied to us about his meeting with Kushner. Immediately after the meeting he appointed 3 pro-Netanyahu hawks to the foreign affairs committee. I guess there won't be much diversity of opinion on that committee.
US media: Why in the world are people voting for democratic socialists?
Financial Times: “US corporate profits have hit a record high while workers’ slice of the pie has sunk to historic lows.”
This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops.
But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents.
