"So the AG and the deputy FBI director are screaming at each other. A 'senior administration official' is telling the WSJ all about it. And the president is involved in decisions not to release reports about his behavior. This is how coverups unravel." thebulwark.com/p/donald-the-c…
Wilmer Chavarria, the leader of the Winooski School District and a U.S. citizen, said federal agents at the Houston airport demanded that he hand over the passwords to his phone and district-issued laptop. vermontpublic.org/local-news/202…
Please share this story of racism/homophobia/disregard for the constitutional rights of US citizen and Winooski School Superintendent Wilmer Chavarria widely. "A whole new territory of terror." Government agents must be held accountable. #NotInMyName vtdigger.org/2025/07/23/win…

Over $200 million in taxpayer dollars have been committed to private companies in no bid contracts to build this depraved detention camp in the Everglades. Just one politically connected vendor got a $78 million contract.

Important editorial for Kansans (insights for others): Though we drive through Kansas’ valley of death, we shall fear no evil. OK, let’s fear a little bit. newsfromthestates.com/article/though…
The Senate will vote this week on whether to strip over a billion dollars in funding from public broadcasting and radio at Trump’s direction. Why? Because, like every dictator, he knows that his biggest enemy is an educated and informed public.
“Other countries have social safety nets. The US has women.” In this week's #FiresideStacks 🔥 @SuzMKahn sat down with @JessicaCalarco to discuss how women became America’s safety net, and how to build a more just, caring economy. firesidestacks.com/p/other-countr…

Tom Homan is literally on record saying people are being detained because of their “physical appearance.”
ICE targets aliens BECAUSE OF THEIR CRIMINAL AND IMMIGRATION HISTORIES — not their skin color. 👉Our targeted immigration enforcement operations involve significant PLANNING — not PROFILING. If you’re here legally and aren’t committing crimes, you have NOTHING to fear!
Hundreds at Alligator Alcatraz have no criminal charges or convictions, records show miamiherald.com/news/local/imm…
Just left Florida’s Everglades immigrant detention camp. 750 humans in cages. Not allowed to speak to detainees. No walk through of occupied areas. Immigrants without criminal records. $450 MILLION in no-bid contracts for GOP donors. I am ashamed. Shut this facility down now.
I believe in America. I believe in public schools. I believe a family ought to be able to live on a week’s worth of work. And I believe politicians who chase unconstitutional agendas that do nothing to advance those things should promptly lose their jobs. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…
ALLIGATOR BAIT The use of alligators attacking Blacks goes back to slavery in American Southern culture. (Ron DeSantis thinks this is really funny. Do you?)
