What to Know About the Deportees the U.S. Is Trying to Send to South Sudan

The Trump administration is trying to deport a group of eight migrants to South Sudan, a country on the brink of civil war.

It’s very important everyone witness this.

The Trump administration is moving to cancel lawfully obtained Social Security numbers in an effort to pressure immigrants to “self deport” by cutting people off from financial services like bank accounts and credit cards, along with access to government benefits. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Nice lil spring dippin’ dots style hail storm this evening here in CO. #colorado #spring #denver #falsespring

As lucky enough to see the IMAX 4k restoration of Princess Mononoke last night. One of my favorite Ghibli films.

The themes and the quote from the old villager with leprosy are especially poignant in the uncertain and violent times we find ourselves in.

Trump signed an executive order that requires federal agency heads to grant Elon Musk’s deputies “full and prompt access” to records.

The Trump administration’s disregard for civil rights and civil liberties is on full display.

DHS might think there’s no one else to hold them accountable, but they’re wrong. We’re keeping a close eye on DHS and any agency who tries to violate our rights.

34,000 people showed up for Bernie and AOC today.
Way to go Colorado! ❤️

AOC: They will throw every label and judgment and cultural debate at us to keep us distracted and from realizing that the only division that is truly hurting our country t is the endless greed by those at the very, very top.

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the EPA’s scientific research arm and lay off more than 1,000 chemists, biologists, and other scientists.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails.

Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.

The cover-up…

USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Over the weekend, nearly 50,000 protesters gathered at Tesla locations worldwide, demonstrating the growing strength of our movement. Tesla is facing mounting challenges, with sales plummeting across multiple countries.

and I loved every second of it 😂

It has never been about logic. It has always been about vibes.

The most dastardly of the people pulling strings know this and convince people (using vibes) that it’s about logic, and so we should ignore the obvious things the vibes are telling us.

I agree. My opinion differs from butthead to butthead. Like If I know where the buttheadery stems from. But yes people who are infinite buttheads with no character growth and never try to empathize or sympathize? Very frustrating to deal with.

Pretty embarrassed to admit that when you are totally communicative and transparent with people they are really appreciative and not mad and sometimes even give you exactly what you want

Emotionally supporting those around me until I feel like an empty, crusty, husk of a human. Cooldown is 2 -4 weeks depending on severity of support duties and I ghost everyone during that period.

But now, critical emergency response positions are being cut, leaving both staff and visitors at risk.

We take pride in protecting and maintaining these parks, but we are being set up to fail. The people who love and rely on these public lands deserve better.

It’s not conspiratorial to be worried about social media’s rightward swing Meta denies any funny business on Instagram in the aftermath of Trump’s inauguration. Should we believe them?

Meta, meanwhile, has been busy assuring users that nothing new or weird is going on here. 🤔

Is that true? Here's what @rebeccajjennings.bsky.social found out. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/1UeLhF

Bishop Tells Trump to ‘Have Mercy’ on Immigrants and Gay Children The direct appeal to President Trump at the start of the first full day of his presidency was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that has not historically been political.

The bishop at President Trump’s inaugural prayer service implored him to “have mercy” on gay, lesbian and transgender children, as well as undocumented immigrants.

“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” asked Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Tracking Trump’s presidential promises Donald Trump made a lot of big promises during his 2024 run for the White House. The Associated Press is tracking some of them.

Worth a bookmark.

The AP is tracking Trumps campaign promises and what movements have been made where, categorized.

Professional journalists are equipped to navigate this. Mostly. Stuff like this saves you from the bluster.
