Emil Bove said under oath that he never ordered DOJ lawyers to blow off Judge Boasberg's order. That was a dodge. Erez Reuveni showed smoking gun proof that Bove ORDERED DHS to ignore Boasberg's order. www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/15/o...
ICE is now the largest law enforcement agency in the country. Democratic governors, mayors, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents: https://www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-police
This is not the act of a legitimate government.

"...get rid of electronic voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections." Again, they're doing everything they can to pre-determine the outcome of elections. Everything.

US inflation rises as tariffs drive up prices

Energy and housing costs were the major drivers of inflation, but consumers are starting to feel the impact of tariffs on basic goods.

This administration is saying that "people should have to prove that they deserve health care" as justification for kicking millions off Medicaid. That's eugenics.

Health care is a human right, and everyone deserves access to health care no matter who they are, what they do, or how they live.

people have forgotten a vital thing about the 1950s and what made those years so great ...

A text meme on a mauve background:
“I would like to remind everyone
that the idyllic prosperity of the
1950s that everyone seems to
want to hearken back to so
badly, was made possible by
a top marginal tax rate of 91%
for the richest Americans.”

@grrlscientist

I’m sure the “prosperity” was also in part due to certain hardworking groups that built this country (thinking primarily of Black people, but certainly also many others) that were left impoverished during this time. All the more reason to tax the rich!

@grrlscientist Also strong labor unions, to make sure that workers were paid well.
@grrlscientist And most of Europe was busy recovering from WWII, as was much of Asia as well. US industry had more than ten years of being the top global producer and exporter 1945-1955!

@grrlscientist

Also we had the "great" Jim Crow laws until the 1950s
