A Federal judge says Trump Admin is showing “willful and intentional noncompliance” with orders to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. This isn’t just about one man. The Admin’s violation of his Constitutional rights is a threat to the rights of all. apnews.com/article/abre...

They use the fact that we are empathetic against us

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

the US government is so hostile to immigrants and Palestine activism that they’re snatching students off campuses and deporting them—while radicalized white men like FSU shooter Phoenix Ikner, the son of a cop who used her gun, espouse Nazi ideology and ridicule protesters before killing. my latest
