I told people that this “mass deportation” would include non-criminals and full citizens. I was told I was overreacting and fear mongering.
It’s happened.
I’m tired of being right in the worst ways.

Earlier today the media released a list that names the people from Venezuela that were forcibly removed by the United States to an El Salvador mega-prison. Our client, Andry, was one of them. @L_Toczylowski joined @maddow

Just another reason why Pittsburgh should have honored the Terminal contracts they signed, and put local businesses in the building. A local bookstore would not host this event when neither will host town halls.

So the US is now kidnapping whole families and trafficking them to random countries that the US has coerced into imprisoning them for some unspecified period of time
Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

Imagine pilots, air traffic controllers, shipping captains needing to pay private companies for weather data that has no standards or oversight.
Every city that dispatches snow plows.
Every county that manages storm sewers.
Every ski resort, water park, race director that keep participants safe.
Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

THE REASON THAT FEMA EXISTS IS BECAUSE STATES COULD NOT DEAL WITH LARGE SCALE DISASTERS BY THEMSELVES *IN THE 1970S.*

Now the disasters are bigger, there are homeland security threats, and this guy wants to roll us back 50 years.

While the greater Pittsburgh area seems to have roughly 1 water main break / day.
I’m going to re-up the fact that yesterday Trump appears to have just shut down virtually all federal transportation, water, energy, & broadband spending… has there been any coverage of this?
One of Trump’s executive orders, on energy (www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...) includes this element, which appears to be asserting the admin will pause all funding from both the IRA & the infrastructure law, which funds highways, transit, water, broadband, etc.

This is a good way to provoke a recession: withdraw federal infrastructure spending and do it at the same time as imposing a massive price hike throughout the economy due to tariffs.
