You can spend time arguing over the difference between shutting down FEMA & rebranding it but the reality is that the Trump admin has already dismantled FEMA to the point that it could not efficiently respond to a relatively small disaster in a state with a relatively large capacity EM system.

If these abductions do not push every single one of you to question the existence of immigrant "detention" centers and the conditions of ALL prisons and jails, then you are really doing life wrong. Conditions in detention, jails, and prisons in the U.S. ARE TERRIBLE. They are awful every single day.

“Rapid deportations” = kidnapping people off the street and sending them to death camps. Covering this like what’s important is scoring political points is disgusting.

Louder for the people in the back:

If only citizens get due process, NOBODY gets due process.

Because then all they have to say is that you’re not a citizen, and you have no right to due process to prove them wrong — even if it’s a lie.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

No Personnel Is Policy The Trump administration is accomplishing through layoffs what it couldn’t accomplish through Congress.

"If you can eliminate the actual officials charged with carrying out a policy, then that policy fundamentally doesn’t exist."

The fact that tarrifs are on the top of front pages consistently while people getting abducted off the streets for their free speech without due process is relegated far lower should tell us everything about where much of the media establishment sees our priorities as a society.

Same. Every single day.

It’s tornado season, and hurricane season starts in two months.

From Micah Bazant's website: This piece was created during Pride 2013, when almost no one remembered Marsha P. Johnson, one of the mothers of the trans and queer liberation movement. I created it as a celebration of her life and legacy, and an expression of rage at the white supremacist corporate appropriation of Pride. This poster was inspired by the research of Tourmaline, who first popularized Marsha’s legacy for new generations. To learn more about Marsha, watch Pay It No Mind - The Life and Times of Marsha P. Johnson. This image is based on a photo by Marsha's friend, Randy Wicker, with permission. The phrase "No Pride For Some of Us Without Liberation For All of Us" was originally written by me, but has become globally attributed to Marsha. This attribution has made it much more meaningful and powerful for trans and queer communities, and I am happy for her to receive credit for it. I am unendingly grateful for all Marsha gave us, and for the countless other warriors who sacrificed their lives to create space for trans existence.

Sharing artist/activist Micah Bazant's amazing portrait of trans activist Marsha P. Johnson who was one of the leaders of the Stonewall uprising in 1969. "No Pride for Some of Us without Liberation for All of Us. We honor her legacy by supporting Trans Women of Color to LIVE + LEAD."

Not Lauren Bobert? When we know how much she enjoys a musical?

Evoking a book about how only hiring White men with a specific ideological viewpoint got us into the Vietnam War is certainly a choice here.

'They need help now.' Biden seeks $100 billion from Congress after NC lawmakers push The President sent a request for Congress to provide supplemental aid for the states impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Congress needs to act: Helene is the 2nd deadliest hurricane to hit our nation since Katrina. And one of the costliest natural disasters in US history. www.bpr.org/bpr-news/202...
