Kilmar Abrego Garcia describes being tortured in the El Salvador mega prison, where Trump sent him without due process β admittedly by mistake.
As un-American as it gets. And others are still there.
Good.

Teachers will be laid off. Class sizes will grow. And students with the fewest resources and greatest needs will pay the highest price.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches β the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.
While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.
Hello?
Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his βmomβ and βdadβ tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.
He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.
Bring them back!
Get up, get down! NY is a UNION TOWN!

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death.
Trump and Muskβs decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.
The fact that this atrocity isn't the main headline of this news cycle just shows what a clusterfuck we're living through

Who would have thought. An anti-union rich guy gets elected president and appoints an anti-union labor secretary who supports anti-union laws. I'm shocked.

This is an appalling, illegal abuse of power by a billionaire who gets $$ of federal largesse. A billionaire who doesnβt need federal services.

When firms like Apple and Google take the hint and give up their DEI programs, that's the result.
If corporations don't track how many minority employees they hire, that number will stay low. That's the unfortunate reality.
I doubt that the US unionization rate can make up for this.
But what Trump and Musk are doing isn't about corporate DEI. Just like anti-CRT laws aren't about CRT.
Trump wants the government and corporations to hire fewer women and black people. That's basically all this is
From a historical perspective, there's some truth to that. After the Regan admin started union busting in the open, corporations stopped pretending that "we have great relationship with our union." Instead,"We are committed to diversity" became a public relations go-to.

Republicans came up with a strategy: every time they want to take down a part of public education, they repeat the magic words "Marxism," "transgenderism," and "green new deal."
Not sure if it's a winning strategy, but it's a strategy.
Who would have anticipated that he won't follow up on that promise.
