What Happens When ICE Agents Show Up at Your High School Undocumented students and teachers are preparing for potential arrests.

Undocumented students and teachers are preparing for potential arrests.

I have no idea how many people have applied or what I'm up against. I have no professional brewery experience, just kitchen and barista experience from 20 years ago. But they know that and apparently my passion for homebrewing made them interested enough for Interview #1.

The owner (who also does basically everything right now) will be going to LA for a couple weeks in late Spring, and they want someone who can be trained up fast so when he leaves they can literally make the beer and do everything while he's gone.

This job looks incredible. It's a Brewery Production Assistant position and they basically need help with *everything.* Everything from cleaning and inventory management to making the beer.

I had my interview with the brewery on Friday, and I think it went really well! Lasted an hour and they said they'd be meeting Tuesday to discuss who they want to call back for a second interview, so hopefully I'll hear by mid-next week.

Treating Elon Musk as the equivalent of a malign foreign actor seems to be the only prudent approach at this moment.

what you’re saying is that the fascist have complete control over peoples government email addresses/chats and are now just searching to see what kind of dirt they can bring to fight to target citizens with nazi violence?
you can downplay this all you like, but this is how state violence starts

Almost 40% of the thousands of government contracts being canceled by DOGE will produce no savings, the AP reports.

Those are brownshirts and concentration camps and the people writing these stories need to start calling them what they are.

My favorite DT ripping apart my most hated DT is giving me the heart-eyed vapours.

Oh myyy.

I have an interview for a Brewery Production Assistant position on Friday! They have my interview so they know I don't have direct experience, but apparently homebrewing is enough that they want to talk to me.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up but *damn* I want this job.

Just a matter of time before the other letters go now.

Absolutely correct.

Call your House representatives. Write them actual letters. Show up at their local offices. Flood the zone.

Demand they draw the line while they still can.

The media is what brought us here to begin with. It’s infuriating what’s happening with them!
They sure didn’t have an issue with constantly airing about Hillary for her ‘email server’, or Joe for his ‘age’.
The entire media apparatus is complicit in the hostile takeover of our country!

You don’t need to be a Federal employee for Elon to have access to private personal information.

It applies to every person who has provided information to the United States Federal Government.

He is talking about trafficking in prison labor. This is another word for slavery.

He is talking about trafficking human beings.

If true, it won’t be long until Democratic leaders fear the same thing.

The Republicans let these vampires into the house. Put THEIR pitifully cowardly necks on the front lines.

Elon Musk claims to have "deleted" the office in the IRS which has enabled people to file their tax returns electronically, simply, and for free.

A screenshot of a tweet from Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinF). The tweet quotes Atul Gawande, a former USAID official: "Two weeks ago I was combatting diseases. We had 21 serious outbreaks at the time worldwide. Three are serious now: an Ebola outbreak in the capital of Uganda. Bird flu has broken out in 49 countries. Our efforts to contain them have all been shut down."

Trump/Musk shutting down USAID puts us all at greater risk.

In fact, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS KIND OF THING.

YOU WERE NEVER THERE.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
