Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like.

And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre
Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

When I tell students about the realities of pre-New Deal industrial life — where it was so commonplace for workers to die on the job that a Pittsburgh newspaper once celebrated that “only” 127 had died the previous month — they can’t believe it.

That’s the world Trump wants us to return to

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless.

This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

If you can’t physically protest today, then be sure to amplify and share protest videos online, or drive past protesters and honk to show your support if you can!

We need to flood the internet with protest footage, of both big and small events.

We can’t count on the media to cover it.

POINT OF ORDER: I just can’t let this go. I won’t let this go. Four service members died and our president, our leader, has said nothing. They died in Europe and Europeans honored our fallen solders. Our president, vice president, crickets. I’m disgusted still.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Hypocrisy should be a crime.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

For the record, Maine hasn't apologized.

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

This is crazy & it's extremely dangerous:
U.S. public health officials ordered to stop working with WHO: A CDC official sent memo to senior leaders on Sunday telling them all agency staff who work with WHO must immediately stop collaborations & “await further guidance.”

What about Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Will they be arrested when they break the law?
