I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Trump’s regime targets top universities like Harvard because their students are taught to think critically. Authoritarians fear those who question them. They only want mindless obedience. Education is a tool of resistance. Labeling students as security threats is a tactic of suppression. Resist.

🚨NEW: Federal Judge Allison Burroughs has blocked the Trump Administration from prohibiting Harvard from hosting international students.

REPOST to thank Judge Burroughs for standing up for our democracy!

Anyone still defending SpaceX as a serious organisation is neck-deep in tech-bro Kool-Aid.

It’s no longer a company, it’s a cult propped up by hype, hubris, and government handouts.

putting aside everything else about them, spacex describing a giant shuttle explosion as a 'sudden energetic event' really annoys the "words used to mean things" part of my brain

Please let me know what does not make sense about this:

I want this world and I'm willing to stir up some good trouble to get it!

Bill Nye putting it succinctly:

31% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living.

39% approve of his foreign policy.

Some positive news:

Yep.

We are one step away from becoming a Dictatorship.

As soon as The Judicial Branch (Roberts & Supreme Court ) hands over The Power of the Purse to the Executive Branch (Trump)....

It is over.
He & only he decides what to do with our money and our country. It will be his then.

One giant grift.

Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick. That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

This is actually very easy to do!

DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION. Do not answer questions about your immigration status, where you were born, or your criminal history. 4 NO COMPARTAS INFORMACION PERSONAL. No respondas preguntas sobre tu estado migratorio, dónde naciste o tus antecedentes penales.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING. Do not sign any document without speaking to a lawyer. 5 NO FIRMES NADA. No firmes ningún documento sin hablar con un abogado.

SPEAK TO A LAWYER. Consult with a lawyer ahead of time. If you are arrested, ICE will not provide you with a lawyer, so be prepared. CONSULTA CON UN ABOGADO. Consulta con un abogado con anticipación. Si te arrestan, ICE no te dará un abogado, así que prepárate

Pt. 2/2 ⬇️

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

First Elonald has people in charge of our nukes fired, and now the USDA is trying to un-fire people tasked with protecting us from the bird flu?

Each passing day these clowns are in office, we’re less safe.

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.
