Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...

We refuse to stay silent while ICE terrorizes working class communities. We are turning out and standing united in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social calling on the release of SEIU President David Huerta!

This is beyond horrific. If Biden did this Republicans would call for his impeachment and removal. This should be no different.

Happy June 6th! It’s ‘Ally Fridays’ on the Gay of the Day! We need and love them! It’s Kristin Chenoweth time! You can be a REAL christian and still support the lgbtq community. Smash that share button for the algorithm 🙏🏼 #pride #Pridemonth #lgbtq #lgbtqia #ally #history

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

I called for the full release of the Epstein Files a month ago because of my suspicion that AG Pam Bondi was concealing the files to protect Donald Trump. Now my suspicion has been confirmed. Release the #EpsteinFiles now!

Immigration discourse so far has centered around the growing policy mismatch between what people “voted for” and what they’re getting. But this piece is good in pointing out there is also a deep values/ideological mismatch that Dems can exploit. newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Here @apnews.com we fixed this for you

SENATOR MURPHY: "The entire Trump administration is a grift from top to bottom — Musk didn't get everything he wanted in this bill so he's throwing a temper tantrum... none of this is on the level. This is all about a bunch of thieves stealing from us."

NEW: Though Elon Musk is gone, DOGE is here to stay. Russell Vought, a Christian nationalist and Project 2025 architect, appears to be at the helm of the faux-agency — and the slash-and-burn effort against the federal government may be on the cusp of an even darker turn. by: @jaknutson.bsky.social

Bureaucratic politics explanation for ICE arrests: 1) they arrest people for whom they have data, i.e. those who comply with requests for info from the govt; 2) they go for easy arrests (people who won't fight back). So, expect more law-biding, non-threatening people to be arrested. 1/2

REPORT: “Since Election Day, Elon Musk’s staggering net worth has increased by over $100 BILLION” @SenWarren’s office just prepared this report about how Elon enriched himself after buying the election for Trump: www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

THERE ARE NO DEALS! THERE ARE NO DEALS! THERE ARE NO DEALS! There is NO DEAL with Putin There is NO Deal with Xi There is NO Deal with Khamenei There isn't even a deal with Qatar for the hand-me-down luxury jet THERE ARE NO DEALS!

👀 Wow — Elon slams #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Are you tired of looking around at the dumpster fire that is America and wondering what you can do? Join @equalityeranow.bsky.social tomorrow night for some community while we talk about the small actionable steps you can take everyday to make an impact. #activism

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Damage control will not work. "When someone shows you who they are… believe them the first time” Ernst is an insensitive bitch!

The entire point.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

YOUR ORDERS: JUNE 14 IS NO KINGS DAY! MARCH EVERYWHERE. See www.nokings.org & my FAFOPac.org Register a March! March in your front yard! March ALL Over America. This aims to be the biggest March in American History. PLAN IT. LFG Resistance! RT this!

This was always the plan. You’d have to be delusional not to get that.

🚨 DOGE is gutting the VA right in front of us. Thousands of jobs gone. Mental health care slashed. Claims delayed. Vets left waiting—or left behind. This isn’t a budget decision. It’s a betrayal of the people who served. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

Trump fixates on Harvard because they represent a community Trump could NEVER be part of thru merit. This is at the core of every malignant narcissist's pathology: deep insecurity; bottomless craving for acceptance and legitimacy. Trump is a predator. A parasite. To Harvard, he's also a pariah.

So Idiot Trump’s signature policy was, of course, illegal from the get-go. The irony is that the United States Court of International Trade has saved him from himself.
