They're building infrastructure for a post-democracy society. This isn't about crime, it's about removing agency from workers.
Against the horizon of climate change, the threat is existential. They're planning to cull the working class.

“Had the shabab not stepped up to protect her, she might well be dead. It is no exaggeration to say that young Palestinians armed only with stones risked their lives to save Heidi Levine’s.”

For example, exponentially increasing the price of things whilst criminalizing homelessness. They literally making you broke then boom, now being broke is a crime. 😂

Children. CHILDREN.
A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times.
92 per cent of those children had not been sentenced.
A third had not even been charged with an offence.
The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state. Its decades-long occupation is illegal.

Incase you missed it yesterday, an Israeli marketing firm used website ads to distribute spyware created by Israeli developer Candiru and all it took for it to infect people’s phone was visiting a website with the infected ads on it and then allowing the ad to load on the page.
There are potentially hundreds of millions of people with Israeli spyware on their phones right now and they have no clue.

so much of what passes as political pragmatism is just a commitment to cementing the limits of the current system as the limits of your own imagination. “realism” is a flattering way to explain away a deep psychological attachment to the status quo

They are going to privatize federal student loans. This is really bad.
Oh and for those wondering yes this absolutely was part of Project 2025’s plans
SCOOP: The Education Department is making plans to offload student loans from its purview.
The Federal Student Aid office would be an independent agency. The goal is to spin it off within a year, which employees say will sow chaos for 45M borrowers

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

Just to note how stupid this system is...we just learned that 15 days ago, the Dept of Education awarded a brief contract to consulting firm Accenture to oversee sending emails to student debtors.
It's a $350M contract.
So it costs more to *service* the debt than to cancel it.

Her name is Mariam Ghanem. She is two and a half years old.
At 4 a.m. today, she watched her mother being consumed by flames following an Israeli strike.
Mariam miraculously survived the strike. Her father was slaughtered by Israel just a few months ago.

Be warned. They will not stop at Rep. Omar. They are using this to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship if they don't agree with your views (first amendment be damned).
WSJ: 'The Trump admin’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe' wsj.com/politics/policy/ilha…

When you tell the average middle/upper middle class person they have more in common with a Burger King employee than a billionaire, they don't feel more solidarity towards Burger King employees. They take it as an insult.

It really seems like not enough people understand that we’re watching them lay the groundwork for publicly executing their political enemies.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.

Day 3 of the Ellisons owning CNN and it’s going as well as could be expected
The trial of a former police officer accused of killing his young lover five years ago in her suburban Boston apartment opened Friday with two vastly different accounts of Sandra Birchmore's final days. cnn.it/4ySiE0Q
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sandra Birchmore was not Farwell's "young lover." Federal prosecutors allege he groomed and sexually abused her starting at 15 after she joined the Stoughton Police Explorers youth program at 12, where he was an instructor.

Tomorrow, DHS is slated to begin uprooting thousands of saguaro cacti on the Tohono O’odham Nation, marking the first step in what could become the Trump administration’s most contentious border wall battle yet.
The tribe is condemning the plans in the strongest possible terms.
