ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

I saw a great post: some righty was crowing about how “This is the first time the GOP has had control of the White House, the Supreme Court, AND both houses of Congress since 1928!!” And someone responded, “annnd guess what happened in 1929?” 🤷🏻‍♂️

Emma is one of mine and this is a fantastic historically accurate account of of an amazing, intelligent woman who ignored the limits placed upon her and rose to power. Its penned with a good deal of snark as well. 💙

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

This is what it looks like under our gas stations. Tank switch out. It happens just once every 40-60 years. With only two stations on the island, it was a rare sight!

@rachelroyalkc.bsky.social DJT is going to the Super Bowl. This is a great time for Kendrick Lamar to shine and drop a really awesome diss track and it would be amazing if he brought out Dre to sing Arrest the President.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

They've removed education on Tuskeegee Airmen and Women's Air Service Pilots from USAF Basic Training to meet anti-DEIA mandates.

They're sooo close to getting what DEIA is. Or to removing the masks. Hard to say.

I even managed to bag a mural yesterday when we stopped for petrol in Richmond, KY. It was painted on the side of the Richmond Public Library and is a portrait of Richmonds own Tuskeegee Airman, Frank D. Walker!

The Air Force has removed lessons on the Tuskeegee Airmen and WASP from the BMT curriculum.

I don't know if I will ever forgive them for voting for him.
