This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me.

Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.

DOGE targets child support database full of income data The U.S. DOGE Service’s attempt to access a federal database with sensitive information has provoked yet another internal disagreement.

“This is private, confidential data including Social Security numbers and earnings of virtually all people in the country...”

"Federal law restricts access 'to authorized persons and... authorized purposes' such as child support enforcement..."

War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and women and minorites are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts ma...

The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity.

The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”.

This is real. We’re living in a horror story.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Ever since deleting tik tok almost a week ago, I have read almost two books, gained more patience for the things around me, and have stopped feeling ashamed for not having the things my fyp advertised to me.

In these scary times we still need to sustain our bodies (souls too).
These cinnamon rolls did just that for me. The dough is sourdough starter based but folded and rolled like biscuits. Making this recipe perfect for Sunday morning breakfast. (Insert buttery cinnamon smells wafting into your home)

This is Bert, he is the beloved sourdough starter that I now parent. Recently the cold in the Midwest has kept me from proofing bread( thanks negative degree weather) That being said I’ve made two batches of cinnamon rolls with him and a round of biscuits.
