What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

The prisoners are stripped of all humanity. They are treated like animals, maybe worse than animals. It makes my stomach hurt. What have we allowed to happen in the United States????

Venezuela minister says jailed deportees from US not tied to Tren de Aragua Venezuelan's Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said on Friday that no one among the hundreds of deportees to a Salvadoran prison, whom Washington accused of being members of Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang, were related to the criminal organization.

I don’t know why I haven’t seen this trending on Bluesky; maybe I’m misunderstanding but this seems like something that would warrant an official US response:

This is why Trump and the republicans want to kill the department of education.

CLOSING OR DEFUNDING
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
WOULD LEAD TO...
Larger class sizes and lower wages for teachers and support staff
• Schools losing essential programs and staff, such as behavioral and mental health support
• Protections against discrimination based on race, gender, & disability at risk.
• Loans could be privatized or transferred to a separate agency, leading to higher rates and fewer forgiveness options.
• Predatory for-profit universities could more easily exploit low-income students, trapping them in debt.

Eliminating the Department of Education would mean bigger class sizes, fewer opportunities and protections for vulnerable kids, less school funding, less medical research, and higher property taxes.

It would mean nothing for curriculum.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Watch this and share so EVERY American sees what a disaster this is.

Yeah, that’s how authoritarians do it.
Pick the low hanging fruit to rally the hateful rubes, then once that is gone come for the rest of the fruit and then the whole damn tree.
No everyday American is safe even if they foolishly believe they are right now.

Temporary Protected Status Designated Country: Venezuela | USCIS

Biden brought them in as refugees, Kristi Noem cancelled the TPS, Trump called them gang members, to appease the ignorance of his followers.

Looking back on Trump in politics, it’s clear that too few people took the threat he represented seriously; from the start.

He comes off as such an embarrassing ass clown, that it created a false sense of, “That moron…what a joke!”

The joke was on America.

"Well, the economy is crashing, but at least we're ruled by a mad dictator who is about to persecute his opponents," said the suburban woman staring at the expensive eggs in the picked-over grocery story shelves ravaged by the trade war.

The Brainwashing Of My Dad The truth behind the right-wing media machine that changed a father--and divided the nation

Another resource to share widely. Stream it in your home. If you can quietly get your hands on the remote for the TV playing in local coffee shops, etc.-- find it & just let it play quietly. Especially if you're in a red area.

Kids, this is what happens when you drop out of school & eliminate the Department of Education

Want to eliminate the idiocracy in Government?
Time to demand an act requiring our leadership in Congress graduate from high school & create job requirements for cabinet members.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Musk wrote that Hitler is not responsible for the death of millions, and he still has a senior position in the administration, and evertyone moved on.
