Hey, we need this to not happen? Jesus fucking Christ. Am I going to have to sell cholera test kits at my pharmacy?

Yes. Exactly.

One of the people the Trump administration is about to deport is an English-speaking Venezuelan guy who says he's been here since high school, graduated, that he has a job, and says he's never done anything that should make him be deported (presumably he means no criminal record).

Important to remember: Freight volume isn’t just a trucking issue—it’s an early indicator for manufacturing, retail, and employment trends nationwide. A collapse here signals ripple effects that could reshape local economies, job markets, and consumer prices. Pay attention; this affects us all.

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Damn, Kilmar was a union man, bring on that union solidarity

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

my longest held belief is that if you’re nearing your middle ages you need to get into a semi-social hobby or creative project quickly otherwise you are more susceptible to rightwing radicalization brain rot content

Trump officials have been ordered to testify under oath about repatriating Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "There will be no tolerance for gamesmanship or grandstanding," said Judge Xinis. "To date, what the record shows is that nothing has been done. Nothing."

“To date nothing has been done,” the judge, Paula Xinis, told a lawyer for the Justice Department. “Nothing.” The stern words came during a hearing in Federal District Court in Maryland, where Judge Xinis said that she intended to force Trump officials to answer questions.

I began my day at 05:20 and went to give my rabbits their antibiotics. I picked Gummi up without realizing he was peeing, and 1) the little monster was not in his litter box 2) the stream arced into the depths of my house and then carpet So yeah it's a day full of promise. Terrible promise.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Hey remember we have a death camp and Trump wants 5 more and to ship more Americans there. Act like it.

I full-throatedly endorse invading El Salvador to liberate Americans from the death camps. Trump is temporary. Anger is not.

@lowqualityfacts.bsky.social Sharks have ears but they still don't hear the "du dun du dun du dun" when they're hunting.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

The ICE officers covering their faces feels like a pretty big tell
