All the time in the world to raise money for Democratic politicians, but none for the residents of his state who are being forced out of their homes by federal occupation and state-level indifference. Dude could have had a powerful legacy but chose this.

the world when every time you purchase something you have to make eye contact with a (unionized) cashier and verbally confirm that you found everything OK and they ask you for your ID to buy a case of beer and you make a little joke about how you look like a vampire in your DL picture

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

The one thing I've learned from 2026 so far:

America has SO MUCH WEALTH, and I'm not talking about money here.

I'm talking about people. Beautiful people. People who will stand for you, with you, wherever you're from, against the evil we all face in this American moment.

Beauty is what we build.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

Absolutely sickening shit: the Dena had just participated in international naval exercises *with the US* and was unarmed and the US knew this and sank it anyway and left the survivors to drown

Cartoon titled "know the work rules".

The first panel, labeled "appropriate" depicts Garfield the cat in a business suit leaning around the edge of a cubicle and pointing to a woman at her desk while saying, "coffee lasagna Mondays am I right?" to which the woman responds, hands clasped together, "awww you're so funny"

The second panel, labeled "inappropriate", depicts a far side cow leaning around the edge of the same cubicle and speaking with a word bubble which contains only the shapes of the 4 cow tools.  The woman fearfully picks up the 
Phone and says, "hello , complaint department??!"

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White β€” author of 'Charlotte's Web' β€” warned us about DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Tillis: "We expect exceptional leadership. You've demonstrated anything but that."

Tillis asks again for information about Operation Charlotte's Web, which I wrote about here: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

US troops fired on protesters storming consulate in Karachi: Report
The Reuters news agency is reporting that US Marines opened fire on Pakistani protesters during the storming of the Karachi consulate over the weekend.

The agency cited two US officials and its report marks the first confirmation that Marines were involved in firing at the protestors.

The officials told Reuters that it was unclear whether the rounds fired by Marines struck or killed anyone. They also did not know whether shots were also fired by others protecting the mission, including private security guards and local police.

At least 10 people were killed during the protest, when demonstrators breached the compound’s outer wall.

Time for another report on how we’ve been doing! As of today, we’ve spent nearly $18k at local, immigrant-owned businesses & have provided ~2000 meals to people experiencing unhoused homelessness or food insecurity.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, or lifted up our efforts!
