Justice for Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Justice for all of those targeted and killed by Trump’s militarized immigration forces. Abolish ICE.

Trump's police state is growing, but communities are organizing against it. Some thoughts below on what is happening right now. ⬇️ robertreich.substack.com/p/the-people-v…

Todd Blanche is a dangerous, lawless Trump sycophant. Call your Senator today and tell them to REJECT his nomination for Attorney General. (202) 224-3121

Joan Sebastian Guerrero is the latest name on a devastating list of lives lost in connection with immigration enforcement operations. I am holding his family, and every family represented here, in my heart. Each name is a life, a loved one, and a reminder of the human cost of policies and practices that disregard dignity. It is my prayer that no other name is added to this list, and that truth, accountability, and humanity guide the way forward. #JoanSebastianGuerrero

We’re going to have to lock a lot of doors and windows once Trump leaves the White House (and remove a lot of gold lettering). It will take a long time, but it must be done if we’re going to prevent this mess from happening again.

Paramount is reportedly considering leaving California if the state’s Attorney General sues to stop its proposed takeover of Warner Bros. That’s all the more reason to stop Paramount from amassing even more power.

As ICE continues its murder spree, some of America's biggest corporations are still profiting from the agency's cruelty.

Last week, Trump fired the remaining three members of the Election Assistance Agency, effectively disbanding it. It’s the latest step he’s taken to rig the midterm elections. Here’s everything else he’s trying to do to cheat his way to victory.

Meta now says this data center will cost over $50 billion — and the state is giving the tech giant a 20-year tax exemption.

Under no circumstances should the Senate confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why... robertreich.substack.com/p/you-wanna-kn…

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's 1/3 of the $1.58B in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling.

On Thursday, the Trump regime forced out the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — effectively ending it. You need to see this as part of Trump’s overall strategy to take over the midterm elections some 90 days from now. Here's what we can do about it. robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-will-t…

Is this one of private equity's most appalling moves yet?

What happened to the Iran ceasefire? What comes next in Maine? And where does Trump’s power actually come from (it’s not what you think)? We discuss the big questions of the week on a new Coffee Klatch. youtube.com/watch?v=yxLNE7…

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

NEWS: New Yorkers could save $162.5 million a year through a new rule that will ban subscription traps, @rooseveltinst estimates. The Guardian reports the rule is expected to go into effect October 1st and "promises hefty fines and aggressive enforcement for violators."

Yes. @RBReich is right. If the rapid advancement in AI destroys tens of millions of jobs as many Big Tech Oligarchs predict, who will be able to afford to purchase the products they are pushing? The economic gains of AI must benefit humanity, not just a handful of billionaires.

ICE’s deadly rampage. The Maine senate race. The Iran ceasefire. There’s much to discuss. Join us for a new Coffee Klatch to make sense of it all. youtu.be/yxLNE7YaZj0

Trump blowing up his own ceasefire is the latest evidence that his "short-term excursion" in Iran has become a forever war. Senator Bernie Sanders warned of exactly this a decade ago.
