White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there.

No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?
4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck.

After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home.

Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

The Army announced last year that it had enough of a model of armored vehicle and that any more deliveries would be “excess.” But Congress found a way to keep funding alive for the vehicle, and executives at the company found a way to flood key members of Congress with donations. buff.ly/nbAEUVa

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York just rejected several of the Trump administration’s key rationales for withholding an Office of Legal Counsel opinion that it is using to justify its ongoing extrajudicial boat strike campaign, which has murdered more than 230 people.
EXCLUSIVE: Top Pentagon Official Admits Boat Strike May Have Killed Victims of Human Trafficking

If this boat was running drugs, why was it loaded with so many people?

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff.

Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years.

Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this.

Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.

This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.

Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

In 9 months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Secured millions in worker restitution from DoorDash and UberEats
-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Cracked down on bad landlords
-Balanced NYC's budget without cutting major social services

This is what leadership looks like.
