Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

I don't understand being euphoric over sending plane loads full of people without any kind of due process to the most hellish places on Earth just for being an immigrant. And honestly, even criminals don't deserve that type of treatment... we have the 8th Amendment for a reason.

3/3 🧵

I remember and I find it really interesting that all those conspiracy theorists are now completely mum about the real human trafficking happening now. Hell, a lot of people are actively cheering it on.

2/3 🧵

Do y'all remember, back in 2020, when people were losing their minds about human trafficking and there were all these really wild conspiracy theories like the one about Wayfair being used as a cover to traffic people? The one where traffickers were shipping people by mail in Wayfair cabinets?

Imagine how much it's going to cost for our elderly (who are often on several prescriptions) to maintain their quality of life. And let us not forget all the chronically ill, disabled, and folks on maintenance medications. 🫠 Is this just some weird way to camouflage eugenics as an economic policy?

...and here lies the World Economy. May it rest in peace. 🪦

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.

Your American allies.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

I am so moved, I'm in tears. I am profoundly proud of and thankful for Senator Booker.

that they'll eventually use our medical histories against us. My husband and I had tried for years to have babies and there was a ton of heartbreak in getting there. I don't even think I'd attempt trying now given the changes in health care for women due to all these abusive laws.

My 1st was a missed miscarriage and my doctor gave me three choices: wait it out to pass on its own (high risk for infection), use Mifepristone and Misoprostol to induce, or have a D&C. I opted for the pills which are now illegal in over a dozen states and this was only 12-13 years ago. I worry...

And furthermore, the onus of proof is on the entity making the claim... not the other way around. Bonkers!

ICE admits to an 'administrative error' after Maryland man sent to El Salvador prison A Maryland man with protected legal status was sent to the notorious prison in El Salvador following an "administrative error," according to an ICE declaration Monday.

Exactly how does one prove they aren't in gang?

"Abrego-Garcia had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue," the government said. "He had the opportunity to give evidence tending to show he was not part of MS-13, which he did not proffer."

I had a similar experience during my 2nd miscarriage. I was only 8 weeks along and lost the pregnancy at work in the bathroom. I was panicked at the amount of blood... I didn't even realize I had expelled the fetus until my doctor confirmed it a few hours later... I was so heartbroken.

I'm glad some of them are starting to finally come to terms with the reality of DJT but I'm still disappointed and angry that it took The Bad Thing™ happening to them for them to actually give a flip about all the horrible things coming out of this administration. Weak ass cognitive empathy game. 😒

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

He was always ahead of his time.

To quote my grand-daddy that fought against Nazis in WWII, "what a bunch of chicken shit cowards."

"Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.” Creating biosensors to detect infectious diseases. The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care” — that is, the place where people receive medical treatment — and “barrier,” referring to a part of the biosensor itself. Designing eye-tracking technology for diagnosing and treating concussions. It appears to have gotten flagged for referencing “traumatic” brain injuries and the “status,” meaning the condition, of patients."

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

Cassandra (metaphor) - Wikipedia

Does anyone else ever feel like they suffer from a Cassandra Complex? I was told I was overreacting in 2016 and again in 2024 and yet here we are. No one wants to talk about it though because "omg, can't you just let the past be the past." No. No, I can't.

Letter from congress that is incredibly alarming. Looks like #DOGE got access to #nasa and they use the word ominous.
