it has never been clearer that undocumentedness is the outcome of processes of ILLEGALIZATION. it's not something a person does, it's something the state does to a person. The state is doing this to hundreds of thousands overnight, so it's especially shocking, but it's part of broader illegalization

Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents

Given that the rationale was a false accusation of putting adult material in front of children, my guess is they're going to weaponize the copyright office to refuse to register copyrights for works dealing with LGBTQ or racial and gender justice issues.
Not that it matters to Trump, but is this even legal? Register is appointed by the Librarian, not the president. And she is a legislative branch employee, not executive.

Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader, met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago—an alarming sign, as Kris Goldsmith warns, of Trump's ties to extremists and his intentions for a second term.

Program costing $32m (a rounding error of a rounding error in Federal Budget) and delivers $40b in annual savings to Americans, as well as being good for the environment, sure let’s eliminate that program. 🙄

The 2 F-18s we just deposited into the Red Sea would have paid for 2+ years of the program.

I do know that in 2020 Trump did all he could to get his stormtroopers to fire on unarmed civilians who protested him. He failed because there were a small number of people with honor in the first Trump Administration.

Those few have now been disposed of. And historically large protests are coming.

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.
On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody

Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

I think the media industry needs to learn that a political leader saying something stupid to get attention is boring and not worth very much time, but millions of people getting together in the name of a collective cause is essential coverage.

Problem is, collective action isn’t flashy.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
