BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

The full weight of the Trump/WH legal/propaganda apparatus has been bearing down on this one day laborer and his family for months, all because Trump/Miller decided defying the law would thrill MAGA.
No one should accept how the US government has treated this man. An absolute disgrace. 8/8

Unbelievable.
A Tennessee woman is having to travel to Virginia for prenatal care because the DR in her area has denied her care on the grounds that she's an unwed mother.
Tennessee has passed a law to allow DRs to discriminate against anyone so long as DRs claim it's about "religious beliefs."

Another case of a tourist doing everything right-notifying DHS he needed to overstay his visa by a few days due to a health emergency-but ICE arrested him anyway.
He was ready to go home. ICE threw him in a detention center.

If every media outlet exposed Trump’s weaponized rhetoric (as explained by @jenmercieca.bsky.social) for what it is, we wouldn't be in this damn mess.
He’s been doing these same things since (literally) 2015. He doesn’t always call someone “evil,” but it’s always some kind of ad hominem (a distraction technique to re-route our attention & avoid accountability). One of many tactics he uses.
