reminder that an estimated 10.9 MILLION MORE PEOPLE will not have health insurance by 2034 if trump's big bad billionaire bill passes

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

ICE releases health worker arrested at airport despite living in the U.S. legally for 50 years Lewelyn Dixon had been arrested at the Seattle airport after a trip to her native Philippines in late February. She was released from ICE custody after three months.

One more for the "WTF" quota...

This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in *February* when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week.

Re: Important Update Regarding Our OVW Grants April 14, 2025 Dear Registrant, We are writing to inform you that, effective immediately, all of our grants with the Office on Violence Against Women have been terminated. The Department of Justice has concluded that these grants "no longer effectuate the agency priorities." As we consider our next steps, we must pause all work related to these grants. Unfortunately, this means that we have to cancel our upcoming trainings. We are incredibly grateful for your commitment to advancing safety, justice, and dignity for survivors and interest in further developing your skills in this field. With deep appreciation and continued solidarity,

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.

FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

This is what they're doing to Dr. Badar Khan Suri.

This is not my America, and the world is aghast.

Look at these fucking assholes celebrating defunding libraries.
