I have never known an administration so intent on crushing Constitutionally protected rights and hurting people who just want to do their jobs.

I see you!

Trump’s Aid Cuts Hit the Hungry in a City of Shellfire and Starvation (Gift Article) The stark consequences of the rollback are evident in few places as clearly as in Sudan, where a brutal civil war has combined with a staggering humanitarian catastrophe.

It has been driving me nuts hearing how DOGE made all these cuts to the government and no one noticed. No, you don't pay attention.

Thank you for the update

U.S.-born American citizen under ICE hold in Florida after driving from Georgia Juan Carlos Gomez-Lopez is being held even though a county judge found his birth certificate “authentic” and said there wasn’t reason to consider him an “illegal alien.”

The first, not the last. He was eventually released.

This needs to be boosted more widely.

U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they're all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75 percent of them.

This news keeps getting worse and worse. Turns out that 75% of people sent to El Salvador (179 people) had no criminal record anywhere. www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

Cory Booker Condemns Trump’s Policies in Longest Senate Speech on Record (Gift Article) The New Jersey senator, who had spent much of his last 24 hours on the Senate floor assailing the Trump administration, surpassed Senator Strom Thurmond’s speech in 1957.

A film you put on when you feel sad.

I always find this film uplifting and le Marseilles scene gives me chills every time I watch it.

Trump withdraws executive order targeting Paul Weiss law firm U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he is withdrawing an executive order targeting New York law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.

Pomerantz, who worked most recently at Paul Weiss until 2022, said in a statement: “I engaged in no wrongdoing by working as a prosecutor to uphold the rule of law."

No shit. That's what makes this all so insidious.

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 5 (bonus since I missed yesterday)
A film I think is underrated.

I know this ended up on a lot of the "best films of the year" lists by critics I follow, but I just don't think it got enough attention. Kneecap is a hysterical movie with great music and message.

A film that starts with "The"

The first one that came to mind:

Britain beefs up travel warnings over US border enforcement Britain has in recent weeks revised its advice for citizens travelling to the United States to include a warning that anyone found breaking its entry rules could face arrest or detention.

Not surprising, but pretty fucking tragic. www.reuters.com/world/uk/bri...

A film that made you laugh out loud.

I used to feel so guilty about enjoying this film. Now I realize, it's one of the most woke productions there ever was.

For four Venezuelan friends, Alien Enemies Act cuts short an American dream President Donald Trump used the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans accused of being gang members. Relatives of men sent to El Salvador deny the allegation.

This is why we have due process. So we don't send good people to slave labor camps. wapo.st/4iW6RWW

A film you watched over and over as a child.

In the early days of cable, this movie got a lot of play.

March 17, 2025 From 1942 to 1945, the Code Talkers were key to every major operation of the Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater.

This just keeps getting worse and worse. So many people hurt by this administration. So much history denied. I am stunned to see the levels of corruption in this administration.

It's just sickening.
