Haha πŸ˜‚ Trump holds up images from a conflict in the Congo to justify importing white South Africans, claiming there’s β€œgenocide.” Never mind that the photos aren’t even from South Africa and some of these migrants are openly posting antisemitic content online.

I’m going to continue reminding folks that this is the kind of thing that warrants impeachment. (Not for nothing but Republicans impeached Mayorkas for just existing)

Also how does the head of Homeland Security get her purse stolen? That doesn't seem possible. Her security detail must hate her.

UPDATE: At least 3 are dead after a helicopter crashed into the Hudson River.

5 people were reportedly onboard including children.

This is what happens when an arrogant POS β€œpresident” freezes flight control hiring on day 1 β€” air travel becomes less safe & people die

We are not safe under Trump!

Maine State Library lays off 13 workers, will restructure after losing federal funds The library last received funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services on March 24 and has not gotten any updates on when β€” or whether β€” payments may resume.

The Maine State Library laid off 13 staff members Wednesday β€” nearly one-third of its staff β€” and announced that it would close for two weeks to restructure its operations after the Trump administration indefinitely suspended certain federal funds.

Her Fetus Has No Heartbeatβ€”They Still Won't Give Her An Abortion South Carolina's ban is torturing a 31-year-old mom *right now*

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.

She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.

This is what bans do.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

#Wisconsin April 1st!
Please elect Judge Susan Crawford. Do NOT sit this out. If we’ve learned anything from 2024, it’s that we need judges with integrity that follow the law!
Elect Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court!

I officially broke up with Anthropologie today. Wrote to the CEO (TriciaSmith@urbanout.com) and unsubscribed from emails. As I wrote on IG: it’s not me; it’s them.

She isn’t a criminal

She isn’t dangerous

And she’s a US citizen

A 10-year-old child

Recovering from brain cancer surgery, no less

Still suffering from speech and mobility problems

But the Trump administration deported her anyway
