ICE brutally detain U.S. citizen mother—leave 2 little kids in backseat. Agents grab her by hair and tackle her face first to street—handcuff her behind back. "I was shouting: I'm a citizen! I have my children in the car—9 year old girl and 1 year old boy!" She was held hours before being released—despite proving she was a U.S. citizen. ICE claims that she assaulted an agent first. "I never assaulted anyone—my intention was to exercise my constitutional rights and request the arrest warrant." Her husband was released a week later after an emergency habeas corpus petition was filed. Incident occurred in Asbury Park, New Jersey. #DemsUnited

Farm Action
Farm Action@FarmActionUS·
Farm Action President Angela Huffman delivers a passionate speech on the Supreme Court steps warning liberty is on the line in the Bayer-Monsanto case. “Inscribed on this great building behind me are these words: ‘Justice, the guardian of liberty.’” “Will the Supreme Court justices act justly… [or cave] to the monopoly power of Bayer-Monsanto?” “I came here from my farm from northwest Ohio because liberty is on the line.” “Farmers have been under the thumb of corporate power and government complicity for too long.” “Now Bayer wants to sell a product that harms people, and not answer for it.” “They control the seeds. They control the chemicals. They shape how farmers are expected to operate.” “They narrowed our choices and created dependence.” “And now, they want even more: they want immunity when their products cause harm.”

🚨ICE deported a U.S. born citizen. Brian Morales is a U.S. citizen, born in a hospital in Denver, Colorado, with documentation to prove it… And yet, after a traffic stop in Texas, he was taken into custody and deported to Mexico with no charges, no conviction, and no due process. Morales repeatedly told officers he was a citizen and had proof, but instead of verifying that, he was threatened with fraud charges, and prison time, if he didn’t comply. He was ultimately pressured into signing removal paperwork out of fear… which is coercion, and illegal. There is no law in the United States that allows the government to deport a U.S. citizen. Citizenship is not something ICE can ignore because they don’t believe you, and it’s not something that can be stripped through intimidation. If you are born here, you belong here… period. DHS claims he admitted to being undocumented… even though he had proof he was not… and we’re expected to accept that version without questioning how that “admission” was obtained in the first place. This also didn’t happen at the border, it happened after a routine traffic stop in Texas, which means the standard here wasn’t immigration enforcement at the border, it was treating citizenship like it’s conditional, and revocable, on the spot. If citizenship can be ignored, if proof can be dismissed, and if people can be threatened into signing away their rights, then due process is being bypassed entirely… and if this can happen to Brian Morales, it can happen to anyone.

Palantir, a CIA front company, now has its tentacles in the food supply, our healthcare data, our growing autonomous weapons industry, the military, the entire US intelligence community, border patrol, Space Force and so on. Seemingly, Palantir is soon to become the testrun for Yarvins "sov-corp", a privatized version of govt that replaces the existing govt and is ruled by a CEO dictator. That is, unless we do something about it. cnbc.com/2026/04/22/pal…

"Anarchists often note that there is a difference between protest and direct action: Protest is an appeal to the authorities to behave differently; direct action, whether it’s a matter of a community building a well, trying to shut down a meeting, or occupying a factory, it is a matter of acting as if the existing structure of power does not even exist. Direct action is, ultimately, the defiant insistence on acting as if one is already free." - David Graeber

“We’re in a moment of superpower suicide,” says CFR democracy expert @TimothyDSnyder. “We are choosing to be far less powerful than we could be. We are choosing that, right? And that’s the element of choice in a suicide. And then there’s the substance of what we’re doing, which is that in domain after domain—long term, short term, ethical, strategic—we are cutting ourselves off. . . . We’re doing it in education. We’re doing it in research. We’re doing it in the way we’re fighting war. We’re doing it in economics.” 🔗 Watch the full conversation: on.cfr.org/4tTZ1Dv

🦔O'Leary Digital is nearing final approval for a hyperscale data center project on 40,000 acres in rural Box Elder County, Utah. The first phase requires 3 gigawatts of power, nearly matching Utah's entire average statewide consumption of 4 gigawatts. At full buildout it reaches 9 gigawatts, more than double the state's current total energy use. All power will come from natural gas via the Ruby Pipeline. To attract hyperscalers, Utah's Military Installation Development Authority slashed the energy use tax from 6% to 0.5%, directed 80% of property tax revenue back to the developer, and eliminated personal property taxes on equipment. Box Elder County commissioners, who learned of the proposal only weeks ago, postponed their final vote after expressing concern about the speed of the process and requesting resident input. My Take Festus Missouri removed half its city council after approving a $6 billion data center without adequate public review. Maine passed an 18-month moratorium. Virginia's public opinion has turned sharply against new development. The communities that have fared worst are the ones that moved fastest under pressure from developers who treated speed as a virtue and scrutiny as an obstacle. A project consuming more power than an entire state, built entirely on natural gas in the watershed of a lake that has already lost half its volume over 30 years, with 80% of property tax revenue redirected back to the developer, deserves more than a few weeks of review from commissioners who described feeling like they were drinking from a fire hose. The jobs and tax revenue arguments sound compelling in a presentation but the fine print on who actually captures the value in these deals consistently differs from the headline numbers. Hedgie🤗

"Few men seem to realize how many of the evils from which we suffer are wholly unnecessary, and that they could be abolished by a united effort within a few years. If a majority in every civilized country so desired, we could, within twenty years, abolish all abject poverty, quite half the illness in the world, the whole economic slavery which binds down nine tenths of our population; we could fill the world with beauty and joy, and secure the reign of universal peace. It is only because men are apathetic that this is not achieved, only because imagination is sluggish, and what always has been is regarded as what always must be. With good-will, generosity, intelligence, these things could be brought about." — Bertrand Russell, Political Ideals

1.5 million Californians just signed a petition to tax the state's 200 billionaires 5%.. one time.. to fund hospitals, schools and food programs.. they needed 875,000 signatures.. they got nearly double.. and California's own governor is fighting against it.. the billionaires live in the same state where hospitals are closing and people can't afford groceries.. and the one person who's supposed to represent the people just told the New York Times he's fighting to protect them.. 1.5 million signatures and it still might not matter.. because the people who write the checks aren't the ones who sign the petitions
Pop Base@PopBase

A petition for the California billionaire tax, which would implement a one-time 5% tax on the state's 200 billionaires to fund healthcare programs, has received 1.5 million signatures — which could help it qualify for the November ballot. Gavin Newsom shared that he was fighting against this amendment in a previous interview with The New York Times.

Let me tell you about a law most Americans have never heard of. Eighteen months from now, every new car sold in the United States will come with technology that watches you drive. Infrared cameras tracking your eyes. Sensors measuring your pupil dilation. Software analyzing your head position. Software analyzing your behavior at the wheel. If the artificial intelligence in your car decides you are impaired, your car can refuse to start. Or limit your speed to 25 miles per hour. Or shut off entirely while you are driving. This is not a proposal. This is federal law. It applies to model year 2027. Here is the case for the law. 🧵

There is a region in southeastern Spain called Almería. If you pull it up on satellite imagery, you will assume the screen has glitched. A vast, blinding white scab where a landscape used to be. It's not a glitch. It's 64,000 acres of plastic greenhouses. So much plastic sheeting that it is, genuinely, visible from space. The entire region has been wrapped in industrial farming film to grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce for European supermarkets in January. The plastic has created its own microclimate. The reflective surface is so vast it has measurably lowered local temperatures by bouncing sunlight back into the atmosphere. Scientists have a name for it. The Albedo effect of Almería. The only place on earth where human activity has cooled the local climate, and they did it by accident, while building the world's largest open-air plastic factory. The plastic itself is single-use agricultural film. It sits in UV light for three to five years, degrades into microplastics, blows into the Mediterranean, and ends up in the ocean and the soil. Every year, 45,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated just from replacing degraded greenhouse covering. Every year. Just the covering. Inside, workers from Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa labour in 45°C heat for €30 a day. No contracts. No rights. Spraying crops with pesticides at concentrations that would be illegal on outdoor fields. Ventilation: minimal. Chemical exposure: constant. The aubergine looks lovely. The groundwater underneath Almería is so contaminated with agricultural runoff that it has been declared unusable. The region now imports water from elsewhere in Spain while sitting on top of a poisoned aquifer it created. The land that was meant to feed Europe more efficiently has become a place that needs water flown in to keep the show running. And this is what supplies your fresh vegetables in January. Grown in plastic factories. By exploited workers. Using groundwater they have already destroyed. Wrapped in more plastic. Shipped across Europe. Refrigerated the whole way. So a person in Manchester can have a tomato in February that tastes of nothing. But sure. Cattle grazing on Scottish hills are the environmental problem. Pull the satellite up. Have a look. Then tell me which system is the one that needs explaining.
