Trump admin suspends staff who pled to save FEMA First they wrecked emergency response. Then they punished people for noticing.

Several FEMA employees have been placed on administrative leave just a day after signing a public letter accusing the Trump administration of politically motivated firings and “uninformed cost-cutting.”

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

New Bedford immigrants describe inhumane conditions at detention facilities - The New Bedford Light New Bedford immigrants describe inhumane conditions at detention facilities: lack of basic necessities including limited food, water, medical attention and showers.

MA immigrants detail inhumane treatment in ICE facilities. Great reporting by the New Bedford Light.

"The Light’s sources described conditions in Burlington that included being confined to windowless rooms for 24 hours a day, limited food and drink, days without access to water for washing...."

Burlington, MA on 08/27/2025 in front of the ICE facility:

Map shows countries suspending postal service to United States Countries across the world are suspending parcel shipments to the U.S. over uncertainty over the Trump administration's policies.

20 countries have now stopped shipping all valuable mail parcels to the United States.

It’s a result of the White House’s large and chaotic taxes on Americans who buy products made with any input from overseas (‘tariffs’).

If you listen closely, you can hear small businesses dying.

There's no non-fascist reason to do this. Just so we're all on the same page.

Pentagon asks civilian employees to join ‘volunteer force’ to aid Ice deportations Selected employees will join Trump’s mass deportation campaign and ‘offer critical support’ to Ice operations

Can't wait to see it!

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.

One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

Maybe a bit of blood spray on the cape? Looks great though!

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption. Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.” “Here are the 16 Dems. I don't know what to tell you, folks. It's bad. Alsobrooks Blunt Rochester Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Lujan Ossoff Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner”

Last night, 16 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance a crypto-friendly bill that will enable Trump’s corruption.

Instead of standing up to Trump, these 16 Democrats decided they’d rather do a big favor for the crypto industry and legitimize an avenue for Trump to collect bribes.
