It’s finally that time!! IT’S THE UFW THANKSGIVING THREAD!

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. propublica.org/article/immigr…

Air pollution kills over 100,000 people every year in the U.S., about 5 times all homicide combined. But you won't see wall-to-wall coverage of Trump's deadly announcement. The *volume* of news coverage affects who and what we are afraid of, and which larger threats we ignore.

When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients. propublica.org/article/evicor…

Moguls acquiesce to Trump and give him everything he wants. Media elites obediently stay silent when he says "quiet piggy." It took a working class guy to say to his face what he is: "Pedophile Protector." The people are courageous, the powerful are cowards.

Protester: "They say they're coming in to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who bake for us, who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. I can't stop thinking of Mr Rogers. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, and right now the

The truth is, if America had cared when this was happening to Black people, it wouldn’t be happening to everyone else now.

Keith Porter is a Black Father who was killed by an ICE Agent on New Years Eve. Do not say Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s names without also saying his. The violence of this administration touches us all, and we cannot stop calling for justice.

Wolf had found the evening paper in Old Fox's desk. He took it to his room & slowly read the names aloud, into the silence. Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Victor Manuel Díaz, Heber Sánchez Domínguez, Renee Nicole Good, Parady La, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, Luis

From today’s Guardian. How depressing is this?

I have been thinking a lot how the Epstein docs reveal that talentless hacks are elevated to help reinforce a hegemonic political system through culture, leaving real talent in the dust and starving the population of culture that actually feels good and real.

Meanwhile, Jeffries has just gone on national television and mandatory universal body cameras for ICE is his first demand. This cabal, even (and maybe especially) if they luck their way back into a majority because the overt fascists tried to move too fast, will not prevent (and

Sometimes the propaganda is simple but consequential. The basic decision of the news media to refer to a chemical weapon that is banned as a war crime from being used in armed conflict as "tear gas" has helped normalize its use across the U.S. This is just aggravated assault.

Everything Trump does—every shot fired at an unarmed mother, every starving baby denied USAID nutrition, every racist tweet about the Obamas—was aided and abetted by every Trump voter. Trump never disguised himself. Trump has never surprised us & he never will.

Will Lewis showed his horrendous leadership when, at 1st staff mtg, he snapped at my question about his vision for ⁦⁦The Washington Post⁩ : "Nobody's reading your stuff". He had none. In 18 months, ⁦Jeff Bezos⁩ let him wreck a national treasure. share.google/0hDnDFSd15wdyE…

Democratic men with platforms, including podcasts, need to spend more time talking about the right’s hatred of women. This isn’t just schtick; it’s an existential threat — even if it’s not directed at you.
