it should not be considered radical or extreme to understand that there’s enough for everyone in the world, and to believe that we should share it.
It kills me that there's enough for everyone.

Enough food. Enough housing. Enough medicine. Enough money. Enough everything.

It takes active choices to stop everyone from having enough so a very, very few can have far too much.

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

I've been asking for weeks, and finally an answer. DOGE and Mump have been making it hard to impossible for fired Fed employees to receive unemployment or other help. The cruelty is the point. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
DOGE wants them ‘gone’ but makes it hard for federal workers to move on
Many federal workers are unable to get unemployment benefits because of the wording of their firings, and others are uncertain whether they can seek new jobs.

A brilliant lab manager in my dept will likely have her only PhD offer rescinded due to reductions in funding. Her visa runs out this summer so this has turned her world upside down. If you know of any post-bacc psychology jobs that would sponsor an international applicant (H1B/J1) please share. 🙏

Former SSA Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social: The truth is, Social Security for 90 years has never missed a monthly payment, but given the wrecking ball and the people they are driving out of this agency, we are going to see several things happening in the very near term future.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.

All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

That was the worst speech I have ever suffered through. BORING. He sure hated that the Dems didn't applaud him. Long recitations of slights, offenses, misstated SS 'evidence'(they ARE coming after Social Security). Worst, his weird affect when he recounted immigrant violence to young women. Creepy.
