I gather there's some sort of sports ball event today. I'm sure many home runs will be kicked over the nets.

Trump fires 17 independent watchdogs at multiple agencies in late-night move The conversations about ousting these government watchdogs began during Trump's transition back to the White House.

While inspectors general can be fired by the president — it can only happen after communicating with Congress 30 days in advance and in 2022 Congress strengthened the law. Sen Grassley said Congress was NOT given notice!!! abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente. Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias. Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país. Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos. Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado. Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos. Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno). Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta). Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta. Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio. Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.

Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them.

Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

Incredibly brave and courageous.

“We have forgotten that we were all once strangers in this land, seeking a place to call home”

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

Speak up, even if your voice shakes when you do it

I recently replaced Windows 10 on my old can't-go-to-11 laptop with Linux Mint. I've got everything I need on it for what I use it for, so I'm happy.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

It's a trend, not a restriction
