The Real Litmus Test for Democratic Presidential Candidates Supporting a wealth tax.

The underlying thing making democracy impossible is the vast fortunes of the extremely rich and any Democrat unwilling to support wealth taxes is not interested in addressing America’s biggest problem.

Celebrate Kristi Noem’s Firing. But Keep Protesting ICE. Finally, someone in the administration is paying for their cruelty and incompetence.

Trump’s about-face on the ICE operation in Minneapolis was his first defeat in the 14 months of his second term, and has provided a model for other communities to resist federal cruelty.

Minnesota school districts say federal agents still causing daily disruptions School leaders say that ICE activity is continuing to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents.

ICE activity continues to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families, despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents. Students attend school remotely, staff monitor arrival and dismissal, and leaders wonder when they can resume normal school operations.

Doug Burgum, the Regime Toady of Our Time - The American Prospect Dashing the hopes of establishment Democrats, Trump’s interior secretary and β€˜energy czar’ has adopted his boss’s excesses as his own.

In the year since his confirmation, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has given the members of Congress who voted to confirm him ample reason to regret it: He’s been an obedient sycophant and the worst secretary of the interior in U.S. history.

Minimum Standards for Taking AI Seriously Disaster planning for our economic future.

A lot of the debate about AI seems (to me) to be overly personality-driven. We can see the dangers: massive job losses, concentration of wealth, and total lack of safety regulations. Turns out left wing policies are a pretty good prescription for our AI future!

Federal Officers Shoot and Kill Man, 37, in Minneapolis, Officials Say One person, a 37-year-old man, is dead following a shooting in Minneapolis involving officers with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Saturday, Jan. 24.

CBP has murdered another person in Minneapolis, in broad daylight, on video. This was not an accident or an isolated incident. There is no finger-pointing or spin Trump and Republicans can put on this to convince anyone otherwise. This is murder β€” just like we saw with Renee Nicole Good.
