THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Bread and circuses only works if people can afford bread and circuses

Dude, you got laid off. That laptop is their problem now

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

It's astounding!

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

If you remember to do it next time, don't forget to tag it, "Feeling cute. Might defend someone's legal right to representation later"

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

I guess when Republicans said they were the party of small government, they meant one all-powerful dictator in charge

Given that they just fired all the National Parks EMTs, you're not gonna have a choice

I wasn't sure what to get Trump and Musk for President's Day. They can buy houses, cars, companies, the government. What do you get oligarchs who have it all?

Consequences.

I know money's tight what with inflation and people getting fired, but maybe we can all pitch in and get them consequences.

New head canon. Horrendous 1950s recipes were either passive aggressive attacks on the patriarchy or the direct result of all the barbiturates and lobotomies used to keep women under control

I'm going to start referring to the awful people of the world as electrons. Tiny little specks who are so negative, they manage to negate a much larger body of positivity all by themselves.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

Rhymes with send

to brindywobble: to hope that luck will carry you because you failed to plan; a person who is not necessarily lucky but hopes luck will carry them ("Sam stayed out partying all night before finals. He's such a brindywobble. Just brindywobbling his way through life. He'll never learn"

Related slang:
A brindybump: a fortunate meeting. ("Oh, you met your spouse in a refund line after a concert was cancelled, and it turns out you would have sat together had it happened? That's a real brindybump")

Totally made up word that kinda formed in my head this morning:
to brind: to get by on luck, rather than planning ("She moved to another country just to try something new and winds up with a great job three hours off the plane. She brinds her way through life")

Just... Nothing matters to them but power and hate

Here’s the original version of the OpEd that reflects my actual arguments.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

A lot of that is standard run of the mill racism. I hate it, but I expect that from the Hard R side. But "impartial" and "justice?" That's absolutely dystopian

So concentration camps.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth

I'm fairly sure it's a coincidence that the ICE raids have started on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, but fuck if it isn't a hell of a "this is how it starts/this is where it leads" contrast
