From @igorbobic.bsky.social at the Nazi bar: Erick Montes abducted while brown by the Big Balls Goon Show on Friday.
They told Igor they were taking him an hour away to check his legal status.
Montes said his wife had just given birth and couldn’t eat or walk.

It's amazing how DOGE is probably going to end up costing the government billions if not trillions of dollars and end up saving nothing.
Update: @DOGE removes 31 more incorrect claims -- and $122M in savings -- from its "Wall of Receipts" after we identified they were wrong.
The listings were wrong b/c the contracts DOGE claimed credit for killing were not dead anymore: agencies had revived them.

Their *economic* model depends on unpaid labor. And the most effective way to coerce unpaid labor is to create a second class of people and teach them that they're only "naturally" suited for labor they're forced to do for free.
