WORTH REPEATING: Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants and Florida has 1.2M. Minnesota has 130,000. Don't let anyone tell you this is about immigration. It never was. Trump lost MN three times. That is what THIS is about, and it’s impeachable.

"The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. The other agencies within it should be redistributed across other departments. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries."
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-a…

Here's what I think is happening: 1. The media, with low ratings, saw blood in the water after the debate and ran with sensational and inaccurate headlines to generate profit. They have admitted this. 2. That, in turn, influenced big money dem donors who then threatened to pull their big money because the MEDIA was tanking some polls. 3. That, in turn, worried party leaders who need that big money to win because shitheads like Musk can donate $45M per month to trump thanks to Citizens United, and those dem leaders expressed their concern about losing that money. 4. That, in turn, caused the media - again with garbage ratings bleeding cash - to report that party leaders want Biden to step aside (not because they don't think he can do the job, but because other rich people were extorting them) 5. And that greed has led to the snowball effect we are seeing. It's all about money. Not democracy. The media and big donors are selling out democracy and the will of the voters over money. Corporate media has failed us.

One word can sum up a Trump second-term: vengeance. He’d weaponize the DOJ to victimize his enemies. He’s vowed to investigate the media for “treason.” He wants “root out” leftists from our country, calling them “vermin.” If you're not horrified, you're not paying attention

💚A record 7-time winner of the Green Jersey, 3-time Road World Champion, but @petosagan is so much more than statistics. To the rockstar of our peloton, we say goodbye. Thank you for the memories across these years, 🙏 Ďakujem Peter 
 💚Recordman du nombre de maillots verts, triple champion du monde sur route, Peter Sagan est bien plus que ces statistiques. La rockstar du peloton international tire sa révérence sur route aujourd’hui. Merci pour les souvenirs à travers les années. 🙏 Ďakujem Peter

Why are thousands of workers across America on strike right now? I guess it’s a mystery. In other news, CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978, while typical worker pay grew by just 18%.

And, again, the corruption is so egregious and obvious that any Democratic politician expressing “concern” over judicial rulings oppressing people and stealing rights while not declaring war on the institution is just posturing.

The story isn't that Donald Trump is the first president to be indicted for crimes. The story is that a criminal was ever able to become president in the first place and that that criminal was aided by a national party in creating a fascistic cult that threatens all of us.
