it has never been clearer that undocumentedness is the outcome of processes of ILLEGALIZATION. it's not something a person does, it's something the state does to a person. The state is doing this to hundreds of thousands overnight, so it's especially shocking, but it's part of broader illegalization

his state lives off California’s taxes

Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents

All of this does at least provide an object lesson in the dangers of Silicon Valley ideology. Tech bros like Musk and his DOGE minions are unshakably convinced that everyone but themselves is an idiot, government is useless, and any system can be easily transformed or rebuilt from the ground up by a couple of engineers hacking together solutions on the fly. This extreme arrogance, combined with contempt for expertise, is amusing when it leads tech companies to repeatedly reinvent the bus. But applied to the federal government, the result is a Stalin-scale humanitarian catastrophe.

Swalwell: I have a 7 year old, a 6 year old, and 3 year old. I have a bullshit detector. I’m just asking you a question

Given that the rationale was a false accusation of putting adult material in front of children, my guess is they're going to weaponize the copyright office to refuse to register copyrights for works dealing with LGBTQ or racial and gender justice issues.

Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader, met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago—an alarming sign, as Kris Goldsmith warns, of Trump's ties to extremists and his intentions for a second term.

E.P.A. Plans to Shut Down the Energy Star Program

Program costing $32m (a rounding error of a rounding error in Federal Budget) and delivers $40b in annual savings to Americans, as well as being good for the environment, sure let’s eliminate that program. 🙄

The 2 F-18s we just deposited into the Red Sea would have paid for 2+ years of the program.

I do know that in 2020 Trump did all he could to get his stormtroopers to fire on unarmed civilians who protested him. He failed because there were a small number of people with honor in the first Trump Administration.

Those few have now been disposed of. And historically large protests are coming.

One nun’s angst: More hunger, less food, looming Trump cuts Trump administration budget cuts have triggered alarm in the sprawling network of aid groups, many religious, that provide free or very low-cost food to millions of struggling Americans.

"In March, the Trump administration cut $1 billion from Department of Agriculture programs that provide food to schools and food banks and said there would be future cuts to other programs..."

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.

I am working towards this.... just planted some cactii that are flowering

I think the media industry needs to learn that a political leader saying something stupid to get attention is boring and not worth very much time, but millions of people getting together in the name of a collective cause is essential coverage.

Problem is, collective action isn’t flashy.

Supreme Court blocks Alien Enemies Act deportation of Venezuelan men The Trump administration was planning to deport a group of at least 30 Venezuelan men under a rarely invoked wartime statute before the Supreme Court ruled.

The US Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to stop the deportation of at least 30 Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act.

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, of course. 🙄

Letters from an American - April 13 @hcrichardson.bsky.social

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Absolutely chilling

The House Oversight Committee is voting tomorrow on whether or not to investigate Elon Musk and his blatant conflicts of interest in working with DOGE.

Let your representatives on the committee know that they need to vote to investigate him!

At least they're not threatening to also take away your Social Security as your 401K gets tanked.

Oh wait.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

BREAKING NEWS: America Is Back in the Slave Trade A Trump administration filing in federal court in Maryland may be the most shocking confession any presidential administration has made in generations—as it signals a reinstitution of the slave trade.

This is real. This is happening.

To be perfectly honest I need a job, the tech sector is 100% saturated, and that was before DOGE dumped a bunch more folks into the market.
Having said that it's true this idea that manufacturing of the sort he's describing is gonna come back and save us is ridiculous.

I really don’t understand why there hasn’t been push back from business interests (as opposed to freaky tech bro Yarvin pilled interests) on all this

I thought business self interest would be a road block for some of this destruction

Unfortunately this seems the right take.

I’m no economist, but…
