You want our food + drinks, but not our people.

You want our clothes + style, but not our people.

You want our celebrations + joy, but not our people.

You want our labor, but not our people.

#Latinos are not a trend, caricature, or disposable. We are humans - worthy of dignity and belonging.

ICE Abducts & Disappears US Green Card Holder Mahmoud Khalil ICE claims it is acting on US State Dept orders, without warrant or charge, and refuses to inform Khalil's U.S. Citizen wife or his attorney of his whereabouts

Mahmoud Khalil did everything MAGAs claim they care about: He followed the law, got his green card legally, got married & started a family, had no criminal recordβ€”but because the party of free speech didn't like HIS free speech, he's abducted & set for deportation

When your power comes from trampling over others - you are not successful, you are abusive.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Thinking that harm to a people group is an "unfortunate casualty" instead of an "appalling tragedy that needs to be stopped" comes from a place of privilege and apathy towards humanity as a whole.

Every single person matters and has worth.

On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00 p.m. (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents' school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your service.

BREAKING β€” All remaining USAID staff just received an internal communication that on Feb. 7 all personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally (aside from a few exceptions.)

It’s also on their site: www.usaid.gov

This is the nail in the agency’s coffin.

Every executive order, announcement, and/or plan - even if it gets blocked or taken back - shows us their intentions and heart.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

What to know about the El Salvadorian mega-prison Trump has promised to send U.S. prisoners The U.S. cannot deport American citizens and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said from Costa Rica that "we have a Constitution" but called the offer very generous.

The Trump administration and the president of El Salvador said Monday that they’d struck a deal allowing the U.S. to ship both detained migrants and imprisoned citizens to the tiny Central American nation, which has suspended some basic rights as it battles powerful street gangs.

CDC purges STD and vaccine recommendations after Trump gender order Health experts say the website purge could result in deaths.

Donald Trump is scrubbing critical health information from government websites.

This is staggeringly stupid, anti-science, and will have real consequences.
