jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone.

This country is fucking sick. Deeply deeply fucking sick

Patty murray not mentioned!
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

Powerful personal story from a Columbus Library worker about why she’s fighting to form a union ⬇️
last year i had to fight a disease that required 4 holes to be drilled in my bones, 4 rounds of chemo, and 3 different hospitalizations

and the part that hurt the most was fighting to keep my job!
Workers should be able to receive treatment for cancer or a chronic illness without the threat of losing their health insurance or their job. That's one reason @columbuslibrary.bsky.social workers are coming together to form their union!
