Immigrants of all backgrounds need to start calling out these places—like Alligator Alcatraz. These are not “detention centers,” they’re profit prisons dressed up in paperwork. They need bodies to stay open, and they don’t care whose. We see it. We won’t stay quiet #Pinks

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

How to persuade people to have more children:
Living wages
Affordable housing
Affordable childcare
Affordable healthcare
Paid parental leave
But no, they want to establish the republic of Gilead.

The Trump administration is assessing ways to persuade women in the U.S. to have more children, as a movement grows on the right to reverse declining birthrates and push conservative family values. Some pitched ideas include cash baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes. nyti.ms/4jh3UAR

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

1) REMEMBER YOU HAVE RIGHTS
2) ICE CAN AND WILL LIE TO YOU
3) THEY CANNOT ENTER WITHOUT A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE
4) THEY WILL USUALLY NOT HAVE A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE AND WILL OFTEN LIE AND SAY THEY HAVE ONE. ASK TO SEE IT BEFORE THEY ENTER
