word choice is key here. DHS detained & almost deported many citizens during the 1st Trump admin, too -- just like Obama & others before them

A GAO report estimated 70 "potential" citizens were removed 2015-2020. It's hardly as impossible as it's painted www.propublica.org/article/more...

The
Cruelty

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.

Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.

They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.

This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

Ezra Klein also put a 12m TikTok video about this yesterday that is well worth the watch. THE EMERGENCY IS HERE. Please do not bury your head in the sand. Don't look away. YOU MUST ACT.
“What the Trump administration is doing is acting as a quasi judiciary. They’re rounding up people and effectively being judge, jury and executioner,” Asha Rangappa tells Ezra Klein in this episode, regarding the president’s plan to send people to El Salvador’s CECOT prison.
Opinion | The Emergency Is Here
Trump is disappearing people to a Salvadoran prison for terrorists. And he says he wants to send “homegrown” Americans there next.

If you are applying for your first #passport, you need to know that they require you to send your original birth certificate to the Dept of State with the application, as well as a black and white copy of the document, for verification. They say they will then mail it back after they verify it.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Eugenicists are so stupid.
