After layoffs, it's unclear how many people are policing civil rights violations inside the Department of Homeland Security, even as the Trump administration ramps up ICE detention.
Civil rights jobs have been cut. Those ex-workers warn of ICE detention violations

If a talent agency repping me invested in an AI company, I’d be very concerned about conflicts of interest … but if that’s the sentiment among A-list Hollywood actors, they’re not going public with it
Also there is no such thing as “ethical AI”!

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!
It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

The arrest of Judge Dugan is an unmistakable scare tactic by an Administration that has blatant disregard for judicial independence and the rule of law.
I stand with all public servants who continue to serve in the face of intimidation.

Trump is assisting two war criminals and genocides at once. It is backing Russia against Ukraine and Israel against Gaza. His actions are leading to the increasing mass death of civilians at the hands of Putin and Netanyahu. Never forget.

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.
It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
