The VA just sent an email out to all employees announcing an Anti-Christian Bias Task Force and asking them to turn in fellow employees for a list of violations. They want them to use Anti-ChristianBiasReporting@va

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernรกndez to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.

Don't let him be forgotten.

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiรฉrez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation โ€” but they arrested the boy anyway.

Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally โ€” from Venezuela, seeking asylum.

Thereโ€™s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRBโ€™s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Letโ€™s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Trump Spent Part of His Meeting With El Salvadorโ€™s President Going on a Transphobic Rant In the same meeting, Trump was caught on a hot mic telling Nayib Bukele he needed to build โ€œfive moreโ€ prisons for deported U.S. citizens.

Something that flew under the radar during Trumpโ€™s meeting with the El Salvador dictator was the fact that they bonded over their shared hatred for trans people as Trump plans on sending US citizens to Bukeleโ€™s concentration camps. Not hard to make the connection.

A man in tactical gear and a baseball hat is taking an axe to a car window. He looks like heโ€™s smiling.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.

An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/

The American state media completely ignored QAnon terrorist Marjorie Taylor Greene committed insider trading right before the trade war tariffs were even announced. But her emails.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.

Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi

And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubioโ€™s say so

If this doesnโ€™t scare you

Remember-theyโ€™re trying to revoke birthright citizenship

So they can deport ANYONE they wish

Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isnโ€™t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this centuryโ€™s politics and Americaโ€™s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

UPDATE: El Salvadorโ€™s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

In September 2021, Texas banned nearly all abortions. A JAMA Pediatrics study found that, between 2021 and 2022, infant deaths in Texas surged 12.9%, compared with a much smaller increase in the rest of the US of 1.8%. Infant mortality rates rose 8.3%.

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials.

Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room.
