They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”
So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…
It was always a lie.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

John Oliver's new segment on trans people in sports is pretty good. On content I give it like 7 or 8 out of 10, but you should def go watch it. It's so surreal seeing a high production quality media team actually do some research and treating trans people as human

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'
but NO ONE should've been sent there

I, for one, welcome the “abundance” fight. It shows the left can fight Trumpism while wrestling with how we can be better than we’ve been.
I have no interest in “actually the government has been doing great” liberalism.

Find an elderly person who isn’t tech savvy. Help them confirm their Social Security information online.
Starting March 31, phone verification will no longer be allowed for Social Security benefits, and in person will be slower as offices close.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights.
That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion.
We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war.
Facts matter.

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it.
Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.
