worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

“According to LinkedIn, the bulk of Fugate’s leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club.”

🚨🚨🚨 In the last two hours, the Trump admin: - Banned all immigrant visas from 19 countries, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela - Banned all student and researcher visas to Harvard - Colluded with Texas to kick 20,000 undocumented college students off of in-state tuition.

NEWS: The House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill increases the US deficit by $2.4 trillion over a decade, per new estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. This factors in last-minute revisions made by GOP leaders. Up from the $2.3 trillion cost before these changes.

Months after ICE arrested almost 50 people at a Hays County rental house, none have been formally charged, while their identities and whereabouts remain secret - they've effectively been disappeared. Podcast: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x Story: tinyurl.com/y9b3pbmh

Unprecedentedly strong intervention by ICRC. “Palestinians, she says, have been stripped of human dignity. International humanitarian law is being hollowed out. What is happening in Gaza, she says, surpasses any acceptable legal, moral and humane standard” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

Something I’m keeping an eye on: the conjunction of US deportation policy and US favor-based foreign policy leading to 1) the persecution of deported people by the governments to whom they’re being deported 2) governments shaping policies toward their diaspora for worse by favor-begging.

The UN has called the food distribution points 'death traps' This is genocide.

“ICE is trying to deport people now without immigration hearings,” Lattarulo said. “They violated his (Ferreira-De Souza’s) rights and they’re doing it to everyone they can.”

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

NEW: The DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties confirmed tent facilities used to detain immigrants during President Trump's first term were unsafe, yet this administration wants to continue using them. The Trump administration can't continue to keep people in inhumane conditions.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ "The Trump administration said Monday that it planned to eliminate federal protections across millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness, a move that would allow drilling and mining in some of the last remaining pristine wilderness in the country." www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

This is why people across the country need to remain engaged and not give up in the face of oppression

No one should be endorsing people being set on fire in Boulder (or anywhere). No one should be endorsing people being held hostage. No whataboutism. This does NOTHING to help Palestinians nor to hold the Israeli government, nor complicit entities, accountable for genocide. It is a void.

Heartless, anti-family, and a terrible fiscal decision to boot. Investing in early nutrition for poor kids has a huge ROI

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.
