They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'
A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Stephen Miller said on Fox today that USAID is a rogue slush fund. Trump & Elon have made the same accusation.
FALSE. They're either ignorant of how USAID spends money, or willfully lying about it. Or...
Anyway, caffeinate and read on.

I suppose the task force created by this EO will start by investigating the Vice President’s statements attacking Catholic bishops, the leader of DOGE accusing Lutheran Family Services of money laundering, ICE raids on churches … so much work already on anti-Christian bias from this administration.

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.
Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."

I know with everything else happening in the world right now, this gripe is pretty low but I'm pissed. I was contacted by someone I know about a job they're starting. I thought maybe they needed a reference. 1/2

This is a crisis response app. If a diplomat is in danger, for any reason, this sends their whereabouts to diplomatic security in country and DC
USAID employees overseas are no longer able to access their government security app, which gives them this error code (images provided to me by USAID worker)
