If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.
Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article)
Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

In the lead up to pink shirt day here in Canada it's worth watching how fast corporations in the US were to reverse their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives once they felt they could.
It's all a sham.
Corporations aren't your friends and will be there first to sell you out.

Each day, the fascist takeover of the former United States of America ramps up and gets uglier. As Bruce says, anybody who still denies the parallels between Hitler and this madman is a damned FOOL. Any Canadian who still denies the connection between Trump and Pierre Poilievre is also a fool. 😡

This agency has saved Americans billions.
DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.
