There has been a great deal of scary actions by Trump, but for me the two most ominous are disappearing people to foreign prisons and ordering DOJ investigations into citizen enemies This is authoritarianism, this is fascism… it’s here

Evidently Trump can secure the release of someone from a Russian prison but can't release someone from a prison in El Salvador because they are held in a "foreign" prison that we have no control over.

Therapists at Kaiser went on a hunger strike in Los Angeles to protest "factory" like working conditions and the automation of healthcare. I went down to the picket line on the last day to talk to the workers, some of whom hadn't eaten for 100 hours. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/therapists...

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

Trump insiders made billions this week off destroying the US financial system. And yes, torching global trust in us treasures does just that

Trump’s firings at the HHS included the entire office that sets federal poverty guidelines, which determine whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for health programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, child care, and other services. This is cruel.

Musk has regularly "privately messaged associates and confidants about reports from federal staffers about how their lives have been wrecked" and "has been known to react with laugh-crying emojis" to their stories. www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-26...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.
