This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang.

One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

We’ve seen this before, but it was a long time ago.

It should be resisted by all means, especially judicially.

This would be unbelievable if it wasn’t so thoroughly researched, vetted, and reported.

This is consequential journalism.

We naturally try to make sense of senseless violence and potential hate-crimes. Sam Nordquist was tortured and murdered by evil incarnate.

As a trans man, Sam was hated and vilified by half of the political establishment, who also have his blood on their hands. #JusticeForSamNordquist πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Prioritizing DEI is an essential part of building a better, more equal society, and most Americans vocally support these efforts. Companies that cater to outlandish pressure campaigns and reduce their commitments should know customers are taking notes πŸ“ https://buff.ly/40NaFmc

The year is 2025. You have one chance to fill out a government form correctly and receive the approval you need. You fill out the form correctly and submit it. No one works at the agency anymore. Better luck next time.
