I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable.

And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.

RFK Jr. & his brain worm would just like to remind everyone that he doesn’t give a flying fuck.

‘If H5N1 were to be allowed to run through a flock of 5 million birds, “that’s literally 5 million chances for that virus to replicate or to mutate,” Dr. Hansen said.😱

RFK Jr.’s Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.

Our stock market is crashing.

Our economy is contracting.

Our government is dismantling.

Our allies are fleeing.

Our grocery prices are rising.

But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America."

So it all evens out.

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”,
89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety.

I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love?
Infants you love?

Of course Hagerty is in favor of deleting the CFPB — it protects people from the greedy.

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
