Woke up to new #YangYang content. Happy Saturday to ME!

Looks like someone isn’t going to meet the criteria for “fully successful” on his end of year review. That’s going to be tough to have in his eOPF when we RIF. 🥴

NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

Not the point but worth mentioning since it’s a big area of waste & inefficiency: the federal government is the biggest healthcare payer in the US (and the most cost effective) but doesn’t even insure most of its own employees. The US government (and taxpayers) intentionally *lose* money to do this.

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

A play in two acts.

This is blatantly a witch hunt. Immigrants are not the problem. The problem is the president and those who voted for him.

Good morning ppl! Are you tired of these fuckers making millions off the destruction off your retirement? I fucking am!

😔

Andry did the right thing: - Never committed a crime. - Fled his home when persecuted for being LGBTQ & refusing to give in to an authoritarian regime. - Sought asylum through a legal pathway. - Found us to represent him in court. So, why did the Trump admin forcibly remove him? He had tattoos.

Tfw you have to be commanded by a court to give the children back their lawyers …

Could someone PLEASE make this make sense?!

The Trump administration has revoked the visa of Nobel Peace Prize winner Óscar Arias Sánchez. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Thank you Wisconsin!

Animation is a caricature of life, not a lesser imitation of it. Remaking cartoons in live-action, or giving the characters realistic proportions, hairs, warts, etc., robs them of the stylized exaggeration that made them appealing in the first place.

Such a distillation of the con: guess who got Musk's $1 million check yesterday? The head of the Wisconsin College Republicans. meidasnews.com/news/republi...

It took just two months to drive two of our closest and most important allies into China's arms.

This is going to have far reaching consequences that they obviously have decided don’t matter. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Each year on March 31, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people. Learn more at glaad.org/tdov

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u... Texas is home to the third-most federal workers in the country—and now Trump wants to gut their union protections, along with those of hundreds of thousands more. Absolutely not. I stand with our workers and their right to organize.

Yes. It’s horrifying on a very visceral level, even to those of us in following generations. We grew up hearing these stories.

Foreign nationals here legally getting thrown in prison without due process. Illegally firing govt agency commissioners. An unelected billionaire defunding vital services. The Republicans who cried about "the left" violating checks and balances are now awfully quiet, huh?

Yep. ICE detention makes enormous sums for the private prison industry. There's a reason that Trump's victory sent their stocks shooting higher.

Ex-Project 2025 chief Paul Dans says that, despite the Trump campaign's one-time efforts to distance itself from the Heritage Foundation's plans, Project 2025 has come to pass. "There really is almost no difference between Project 2025 and what Trump was planning." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

California AB 412 imposes impossible copyright disclosure rules, crushing innovation & handing power to big tech.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

What’s left in their narrative of our history will be a laughable farce. These Diné were and always will be awesome American heroes.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Yessssssssss!!!!!!! This is what we need the public to be doing!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ugh

Fascism is out of its cage and tore off its muzzle. This violates all sorts of laws but, even more importantly, it violates the basic unifying goals of our society:
