This is NOT NORMAL!
This came to my personal email inbox last night. A federal agency making a partisan endorsement of a piece of legislation backed by Trump, sending out false information. Trump loyalist Frank Bisignano. This is how far our executive branch has fallen.

Of the nearly 100,000 people ICE has kidnapped since January, 8% had violent criminal convictions. More than 60% had no criminal history at all.

Out of almost 100,000 people.

Not a profound or nuanced observation, obviously, but I am really struggling with how fucking evil everything is every day. Everything I love and admire about this stupid and amazing country just constantly getting vandalized and brutalized by people who hate all those things. Not digging it.
ICE raid in NJ nets two kebab shop owners here since 2008, have American children and grandchildren; their application for permanent residence, they say, has been under adjudication since 2016. Why are people like this being singled out for arrest other than raw bigotry? patch.com/new-jersey/h...

For those unfamiliar, the Associated Press is a non-profit cooperative formed by US news organizations that covers news for its 1,300 member papers, radio stations and TV stations. It is the foundation of the American press. It has always gotten the first seat and first question at official events.
Because AP continues to refuse to use 'Gulf of America,' it is being barred indefinitely from the Oval Office and Air Force One, but its journalists will be able to retain their credentials to the White House complex, according to Taylor Budowich, White House deputy chief of staff.

White poeple should pay attention to how Black culture responds to threats. Black people are not under any illusion we're not in danger. But Black people are still engaging in joy & clowning around. Not instead of fighting but as part of it.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes.

Right fucking now!

Read @katherinejwu.com’s article. They are memory holing the entire CDC.

These are essential public health & scientific data. They were generated with our tax dollars. I never imagined I’d see authoritarians deleting all the data on HIV on grounds of ideological purity. Fuck this.
“On the most basic scientific level, changing federal-government data means those data become unreliable.” Via @katherinejwu.com
CDC Data Are Disappearing
The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Musk is deadly serious about his antisemitic, neo-Nazi, racist, and far right beliefs.

Among other things, he:

1. Supports the German far right party
2. Works with and communicates with neo-Nazis
3. Pushes Great Replacement, Rothschild, and more conspiracy theories
4. Reinstated neo-Nazis on X
