Trump is exploring legal avenues to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has arranged for individuals to be held in a prison notorious for human rights abuses.

Welcome to all of our new followers! Thanks to @altnps.bsky.social and @altacadia.bsky.social, we are growing fast. Facebook is nearing 3K friends, and since our beginning on Bluesky yesterday, over 160 new followers here.

Glad you're here ~ Member Jay

Stay grounded ~ Member Jay

A federal judge in Texas issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from using a rarely invoked wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants held in the state to El Salvador.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the request two days after the Supreme Court ruled that challenges to the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act must be brought where the migrants are detained.

I'm devastated and heartbroken. Staff at the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) got the ax. Most likely means the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) is also cooked. USGCRP was the glue across the Federal family on all things climate - reducing duplication and making efficiencies.

A look at our logo this morning! Because we are nearing 3K friends on Facebook and closing in on 150 here on bluesky, it was time to make it official.

All the best, Member Jay

Good Morning Members at large! We hope you had a restful night and a good morning. Have an extra cup of coffee, do something that makes you feel good, or just smile and know SO many people are fighting for change. Other than the ugly pumpkin and his minions, life is pretty darn good.

Good afternoon Members at-large! Seems like stress is high and I've gone down my own 🐇 hole after this mornings post. I think it's just as important to stay grounded So, I'm going to try and post a moment of nature from the state of Iowa occasionally for all to enjoy.

Sorry for the language my dearest Members At-Large, but I fucking HATE feeling all alarmist and scared. I do think it's important to stay vigilant. Not saying it's happening, but sharing for your information.

Always wanting you to be informed and ready,
