She’s tackled neoliberalism and the digital world, now the writer and activist is taking on tech billionaires. She explains how the super-rich are capitalising on climate and financial chaos in pursuit of power

"my client didn't show up to his final immigration court hearing this morning" would usually be imm lawyer nightmare fuel, but my guy was in ICE custody. They were supposed to put him on video and they just... didn't. Because no one could find him.
He's still in there. Just, you know, missing.

THIRTY FIVE YEARS FOR THE TAX BREAKS??? Holy cow!!!
In 2025, Eric Pratt voted for H.F. 16, which gave data centers over $300 MILLION in tax breaks. But that’s not all.
Those tax breaks?
They last 35 YEARS.
That means BILLIONS in your tax dollars will fill the pockets of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires.

When citizens have to defend ballot boxes from their own government, democracy is already under attack.

Correct. And he's also lying about what these three good men have said and believe in order to try to get them harmed. They have committed no offense against him or anyone other than being Democrats.

President Trump delivered words of comfort at a solemn Pentagon ceremony marking the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and edged close to embracing policies he has long criticized.
“On days like 9/11, we learn what a country is truly made of,” Trump said. https://wapo.st/4r7gffG

The light tone of this piece reflects the NY Times’ attitude that Trump is just a goof and all this madness is temporary. It’s mind-blowing that a major newspaper is trivializing a fascist movement that has committed mass murder and stated openly last night that it will cheat in the midterms.
Trump’s Grand Midterm Convention Finale: ‘I’m a Little Bit Tired of Politics’ (Gift Article)
The president made clear as his convention wrapped up that he wants to carry his party through a tough midterms. He just won’t go too far out of his way to do it.

shit like this is why i say the press are a bunch of chickenshits. "oh they yelled at us so we just dumped it on youtube" you fucking cowards, air it anyways and dare them to sue you then put the threats in the court record. air a title card saying "THE US GOVERNMENT ORDERED THIS NOT AIR", come on
