US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Judge Illston’s temporary restraining order against the shutdown layoffs is scathing.

![Those who have received RIF notices cannot prepare for their upcoming terminations because the
human resources staff who would typically assist them are also furloughed. One union president
representing workers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention described how human
resources staff were brought back into the office last weekend to work on issuing RIF notices, and
then, once they had completed this work, were told “to issue RIF notices to themselves.”2 Dkt. No.
47-3 (“Jacobs Decl.”) ¶¶ 2, 7. Unions are hearing from members who have serious health conditions
or are in the late stages of pregnancy, and who worry that their health insurance will be impacted by
the RIFs, but there is no one in the office who can answer their questions during the shutdown. Id.
¶¶ 9, 14; Gittleman Decl. ¶ 16; Robinson Decl. ¶¶ 6, 12.
It is also far from normal for an administration to fire line-level civilian employees during a
government shutdown as a way to punish the opposing political party. But this is precisely what
President Trump has announced he is doing, by taking to social media on the second day of the
shutdown to post: “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought,[3] he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to
determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he
recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe
the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.” Dkt. No. 15 (“Am. Compl.”)

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115304455138824245 (last visited Oct. 15,
2025). The memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget that appears to have initiated
the shutdown RIFs says the same. See Dkt. No. 15-1, Am. Compl., Ex. A (“OMB Lapse Mem.”)

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

J.B. Pritzker got it exactly right, Donald Trump is sending the military to blue cities because he wants to undermine free and fair elections in 2026. Trump believes that military deployments in blue cities is his path to keeping power and Republican victory.

It's beyond outrageous what Trump has done to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And it's all because he became the most prominent illustration of how the amoral, sadistic, lawless, mendacious, and authoritarian thugs who today control our federal government seek to destroy our constitutional order. ...
Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda.
As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:
