This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

A billionaire known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was under indictment for massive criminal tax fraud and very likely going to prison.
Then, he hired a “Friend of Trump” and the criminal charges disappeared.
How did they do it? Avi Asher-Schapiro and I spent months getting the inside story.

We're being put through this because a good portion of the country were so angry a Black man was elected president, gays could marry, and trans people existed that they decided to elect the worst possible person to destroy the country. The rest were rubes fooled by mis and disinformation.

It’s important to crunch the numbers given all the nonsense this administration spouts, but also worth stressing we didn’t actually need new research to know this is how tariffs work. It’s well known, it’s what virtually every economist said, & the administration just plunged ahead delusionally.
A new study show that Americans - not foreigners - have payed 96% of the tariffs so far. Here's the WSJ:

This is pretty incredible organising. So many counties (even small ass counties like where I am from in Iowa) have ICE contracts whether it is cooperative agreement with departments or generating income by housing detainees in county jails. Watching BOS meetings can be very illuminating.
BREAKING: Dan Ceisler, the new sheriff of Pennsylvania's Bucks County, just announced he has terminated his county's 287(g) contract with ICE.
Ceisler defeated GOP sheriff who'd joined the ICE program in November, & ran on quitting it; we reported then:

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
