Homegrown dude needs to be sent to El Salvador

My dear friend said I ought to look at the other side. So I am watching Fox news. How embarrassing. 🙈 Literally a manufactured alternate reality. I’m so sad about how many USA citizens are on board with this moral corruption.

This is called extortion and you would go to prison for it, but he gets neutral headlines. Pathetic.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

Two years of brutal civil war have led to catastrophe in Sudan. This is now the largest humanitarian crisis ever recorded. It is also the largest and fastest displacement crisis on record. Here are the stories of 3 brave women who risked everything to protect their loved ones amidst the crisis⬇️

Impeach NOW

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

No administration in American history, not Jackson w/ Indian removal, not Lincoln in Merryman, not FDR over the New Deal, not Truman in Youngstown, not Nixon over the tapes, not Bush with Guantanamo, has openly defied a court order like this, much less one unanimously endorsed by the Supreme Court.

Thank you to our Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers for bringing us hope. You are the backbone of the IFRC network.

"Trump cannot assuage the bond market. He cannot convince it that he is 'normal' and should be given the benefit of the doubt. He cannot scare it into submission. He cannot bribe it. The bond market is not like the Supreme Court or Paul Weiss or Columbia."

Attention Clark County, Washington!!! Someone needs to primary and investigate her finances!!!

Trump’s crackdown on immigration has already affected thousands of migrants, but one story has grabbed particular attention. Canadian actress and entrepreneur Jasmine Mooney was recently detained by ICE for 12 days while attempting to renew her work visa. PBS spoke with her about her experience.

Call your Senators. The SAVE Act passed the house, probably because not enough people are paying attention. It’s a new type of Jim Crow law. So sad.

Genocide is genocide. Who is allowing genocide? What is enabling genocide? Where is genocide located? When will the genocide end? How will the genocide be stopped?

If the USA no longer provides protection of free speech, it has fallen into a sorrowful abyss. www.aclu.org/news/free-sp...

Trump’s economy: Imagine you have the nicest, sturdiest house on the block. You want to improve a few things, so you hire a builder to make enhancements. The builder has his own agenda. He rips your house down to its studs. Now you’re homeless and terrified you’ll never get your house back.

"So many children died." - If one of Ukraine's allies (America) shows weakness to Russia, they’ll just carry on their outrageous and unjust war. The only way to negotiate with Russia is from a position of strength. www.france24.com/en/video/202...

It pays to read full info articles. Here’s one about the who what where when why. 📚 wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what...?

“Millions of undocumented immigrants file taxes. Now their data could be used to deport them.” www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower-court order that would have forced the Trump administration to rehire 16,000 probationary federal workers who were fired. This marks another legal win for the administration in its series of executive order challenges.

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

Europe’s response to Trump’s so-called 'Liberation Day' should be surgical, targeting goods produced in states where the Republicans secured narrow victories. ✍️ @enriquefeas.bsky.social, @miotei.bsky.social & @steinbergf.bsky.social www.realinstitutoelcano.org/en/commentar...

Seriously, my 20 year old son asks how is it that Trump isn’t impeached and imprisoned already?
