Hello Bluesky and fellow internet travelers. I haven't been very active on social media for years now, but I feel the time has come for me to make my voice heard.
Looking forward to seeing your thoughts and opinions.

The messaging from this Administration is loud and clear: "Don't be and immigrant or we could potentially sweep you up and do absolutely nothing to rectify the mistake. Because we hate you. Might as well just self deport". Fuck these fascists.
“The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return.”
An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison
The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy.

This is the new big lie. He’s gonna repeat it long enough for it to be come “truth”.
BREAKING: An agitated Donald Trump mocks Ukraine for wanting to be at the negotiating table that was supposedly determining its national destiny.
“Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it. You should never have started it.”
Ukraine did not start it.
