Really?!? Really. Idiocracy and Hunger Games at its best. Treating situations of human beings as a commodity….new level of sinking low achieved…
Even in concept, the idea alone is hurtful. Be better, US…be better….

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

Among the many things to watch out for and protect yourself with, mentioned from @altnps.bsky.social, one really important tip was a number to keep on you if ICE shows up.
Memorize hotlines that can help you, like:

So proud!!!! Everyone who turned out for “Hands Off!” rallies across the US, good job showing strength. Booker is probably really proud to see the turn out after his epic, record breaking speech. Don’t tire. Let’s keep the fire going. Cheers to all! Let’s show the other countries that we still care✊

Congress is voting on a bill this week that would make it harder for millions of people to vote.

While Trump attempts to upend our elections, it's more important than ever that our leaders protect democracy. Tell your representative to vote NO.
Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

Goodnight friends ♥️ Our hearts are with all of us at HHS who receive bad news tomorrow. And all those at health departments across the country who received bad news this week. Call us cheesy, but Lord of the Rings is on our minds.
FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam. SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something. FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam? SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

You know how DOJ has a policy of not prosecuting a sitting president?

That policy does NOT apply to cabinet members.

Or the vice president.

Trump says he's not going to cut Social Security. Really?
 
Let's add up all the ways Trump is undermining Social Security, the most successful government program in history, in order to hand it over to his billionaire friends on Wall Street.

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway

Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.
