#FunFact that racist cunts in ICE don’t seem to understand — there are plenty of people of Hispanic heritage, who do NOT speak Spanish.
Cary López Alvarado is a U.S. citizen, born in LA She says ICE goons kept speaking to her in Spanish and assuming she was from Mexico, even after she told them, again and again, that she was born here and speaks English. She was 9 months pregnant when she was detained by ICE.

Walter Koenig, the “Star Trek” franchise’s original Chekov, died Sunday of natural causes at his home in North Hollywood. He was 90.
So he was lying about layoffs. DUH. Five fucking seconds after you idiots approved his merger. I’m not fucking kidding, I want this conglomerate shattered into a million pieces. Fuck this guy.
Skydance is launching an employee buyout program, with David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz kick-starting what is widely expected to be the first of many cost-saving efforts in a memo to staff Monday.

Fantastic news in our defense against Donald Trump's attacks on our Constitution and elections. Make no mistake: Trump won't stop trying to illegally seize power or deface our democracy. California will keep fighting back.
A federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's unprecedented attempt to force California to set aside votes from 20,000 people it claims are noncitizens. https://cnn.it/4i8Q3P7

Yes, and that's the other part of it: Protests are effective ways to raise awareness, but then (as Serbia and Hungary show) you have to follow it up with organizing and voting. Marching isn't enough. In this country, we valorize protest - but don't do the other stuff. (I hope this year, I'm wrong.)
I would suggest it is all of the above plus two years of hard civic work behind the scenes by young people and opposition figures.

Lula should get their courts to sue Meta.
Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts Meta blamed "technical difficulties" That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US Tech billionaires are evil

I appreciate that Oliver spent his whole show basically testing the Ellisons tolerance for dissent.
This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Once again, this jerk has no legal leg to stand on, this is all about sucking attention away from the Democratic front-runner, #MaryPeltola, who will become the first Native American U.S. Senator in history — and they’re scared to death of that.
An elections expert sounded the alarm Sunday as President Donald Trump's Justice Department sought to preemptively block the certification of Alaska's midterm elections.
