Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

Want a pardon from Trump? Flatter him publicly, loudly and often. It worked for Todd and Julie Chrisley—reality stars turned convicted fraudsters—who were pardoned this week. Contrarian culture writer Meredith Blake explains the MAGA-fueled charm offensive.

He’s learned well. I wish average Americans did as well. Apparently not, he’s BACKKK.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Karoline Leavitt is clearly making this stuff up as she goes.

If we can afford to give another $664 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% and spend over $1 trillion on the Pentagon, we can afford health care for the working people of this country.

Turns out, judges agree.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Some days I really truly hate us And yes, this is real, feel free to Google it

It’s almost like it’s a personal grudge or something.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

Elon Musk led the dismantling of the federal government with absurd threats and actions; wreaked havoc at USAID; disrupted HIV programs; stayed up late to send harassing emails. But what @inaeoh.bsky.social will remember most is his utter disdain for the workers he traumatized.
