Have you heard of Citizens Bank? No? Well Citizens Bank happens to finance ICE detention centers through CoreCivic & Geo Group.
Citizens Bank might need to learn the lesson that the public taught Target! Surely mass closing of bank accounts isn’t good for a bank
Here we go again.
Reminder that the CEO of Nike routinely tries to rig Oregon's gubernatorial elections to get Republicans elected.
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
“If you want to know how it feels to have slaves, in the modern world – and not be blamed openly for this desire – visit Dubai.”

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status
Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change
You know what you could do today instead of doomscrolling all day is go pick up a copy of Persepolis. It is stunningly good.
a "preemptive strike" on elementary school girls. dear god
"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
A fellow CU alumni reached out to me when I was donating to the kids standing up for Palestine on campus
His question will always be burned into my mind
"They can't win, so why are they fighting?"
It's stayed with me ever since
And yes, he is
The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.
To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
it's neat how contempt of court and perjury are only real if you're not a cop/fed
NEW: We filed an amicus brief challenging the Trump administration’s change to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
The change threatens to exclude people from student loan forgiveness who work at organizations whose missions are perfectly legal but don’t align with the administration.
Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.
Fire this guy.
Trump announced last weekend he was bumping his global tariffs up to 15% but then never signed the order so it’s 10% today not 15. He also claimed a hospital ship was on the way to Greenland which never actually happened either. Everything is totally fine.
The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.
The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

Just pathetic. And further proof that the “popularity” of TPUSA is a mirage.
"large language models such as ChatGPT were consistently advising women to ask for lower salaries than men in recruitment processes,... AI tools already in use by more than half of England’s councils were downplaying women’s medical conditions, potentially resulting in unequal care"
No child should be incarcerated in America. Send our kids home.

Newsom’s siding with the billionaires.
