ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone

The continue to find new ways to hurt all of us. This is awful for all those being fired and it's awful for all Americans who these dedicated civil servants have served. I can only wonder how low our life expectancy will go in the U.S.

I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with MTG 100%.

And for the record, I’m not paid for any of my opinions. Never have been, never will be.

Guess where Comer, a wealthy man, gets his healthcare? From the government.

🤨🤨🤨

Remember that time when we lived through the three hottest years in around 125,000 years & no one was talking about it?

Yup

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

Sitka Alaska is not known as a liberal bastion. Today, there was an amazing protest to demand the protect the lands of Baraof Island & Chichahol Island. The people of the region utilize the federal lands for so many aspects of their lives. Photos from @adammeyerson.bsky.social and Lucy

I know some of the Iowa National Guard members who were sent to Saudi Arabia… can’t help but wonder what their reaction was when they heard about today’s Iran news.

Today was basically the plot to Top Gun 2, except Mav didn’t have to steal an F14 to get home

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public President Theodore Roosevelt

This, right here ⬇️ 💯 %

They’re also contracting w/ state & local police to conduct/coordinate immigration “enforcement.” That’s a program Obama created, but he also terminated various contracts under the policy after investigations found that many depts were abusing their authority.

This administration won’t do that.

"Voice of America became the bane of autocratic leaders worldwide, but it relished in the criticism, Herman has said, because that means it's effective." https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/veteran-journalist-from-stafford-fights-for-voice-of-americas-survival/article_b55a02ab-81b0-4641-8e05-65cfaf

Government cancels disinformation grants in disinformation-filled statement The National Science Foundation said the studies "could be used to infringe on" speech rights.

The NSF has stopped funding research into disinformation, a disinformation researcher highlighted why this is such a bad idea:

“We know false information is out there, we know it spreads widely, and it’s important for people’s health and for democracy to understand what we can do about it.”

Easter Sunday: flash flood warning for Linn County until after midnight.

A CDC source, in tears, revealed:

That RFK Jr. has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.

They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.

This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

It’s so adorable that Pete Hegseth thought it was going to be *Pentagon leakers* who made him look bad. Bless his little heart.

This is what I’ve been talking about - a lot of the GOP disagrees vehemently with what Trump is doing. They’re just too scared to do anything about it.

Bunch of damn cowards.

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption.

The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

Thank you for the article.

I'll have more to say about this in @theatlantic.com tomorrow -

It’s not safe to cross the border. Trump is grabbing people off the street and sending them to concentration camps in El Salvador.

You mean to tell me that the guy who facilitated the release of 5,000 TALIBAN SOLDIERS can't manage to get back the one guy he sent to El Salvador by mistake?

I call bullshit.
