Let me break this down for you, because the media’s been tiptoeing around it, and what’s happening is beyond criminal. Kilmar Abrego Garcia was living legally in Maryland under a court-issued Withholding of Removal order. That means the U.S. government explicitly recognized that deporting him back to El Salvador, where he faced credible threats from gangs, was illegal. He had a work permit. He was building a life here. He testified against gangs to help us. Then the Trump administration grabbed him and quietly deported him anyway. No court hearing. No due process. No notice to his lawyers. Just yanked from U.S. soil and dumped into a Salvadoran prison that holds the same gang he testified against. A place the U.S. had already admitted was too dangerous for him to be returned to. When the courts found out, they ordered his return immediately. A Maryland judge said the flight had to turn around. It didn’t. A Supreme Court ruling—unanimous—confirmed the government’s actions were illegal and ordered DHS to facilitate his return. And guess what? They still haven’t brought him back. Why? Because he might already be dead. That’s the only reason that makes sense. This administration is stalling, stonewalling, making excuse after excuse—because the one thing they can’t undo is a corpse in a Salvadoran prison. So let’s be crystal clear: a U.S. resident was illegally deported in defiance of multiple federal court orders, dumped into one of the most violent prisons in the world, and likely murdered under the full watch of the U.S. government. And nobody’s been held accountable. If that’s not tyranny, what the hell is? This isn’t just a legal failure—it’s a moral collapse. And every day they delay his return, they’re telling the rest of us that your court orders, your protections, and your life mean nothing if you fall out of political favor. Blood is on their hands. And they know it.

Thank you for your support.

All these people who said we should elect Trump cause he’s a business man are about to find out why so many of his businesses went bankrupt.

Kaine: "He let Musk force the resignation of the FAA administrator. He disbanded an aviation safety committee within DHS... he's got an OMB director who is pushing a hiring freeze and saying 'I want to traumatize the federal workforce'"... he's got an anti-safety agenda... I think that's why he went the race-baiting route"

WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR STATE TO DO THE SAME THING. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has today banned all Jan. 6, 2021 "rioters" from ever being employed by any branch of the Illinois state government. Your thoughts?

My Chinese American colleagues in Texas public universities such as the whole U Texas including MD Anderson are now required to report family visit trip to China ahead of trip, and provide a post-travel briefing detailing the trip. Land of the free (your experience may differ).

President Trump has made it clear that he will use the power of his office to launch a full assault on the African American community. DEI has been redefined as unmerited programming for uneducated and unqualified minorities, instead of the American value of E Pluribus Unum and equality for all.

@elonmusk You obviously didn’t read the article which cited farmers who are upset with him, emptying a reservoir in the middle of winter when that water is supposed to be saved until summer for irrigating farms. None of that water is flowing south towards the LA basin.

Spineless not powerless. So we technically should be in court protecting workers and seeking injunctions and guidance from the courts clarifying that this is impermissible while at the same time we should be having oversight hearings and brining in musk and friends to testify under oath and make further recommendations to the proper people afterwards. The latter will not happen because repubs control the house and senate and don’t believe in the oath they took. They’ve sworn loyalty to a man.

If you think this is ok, something is wrong with you. Explain an unelected, unvetted, unconfirmed, individual who hasn’t been subjected to the same security clearances or higher as these civil servants has the authority to do this?! This feels as if we are being attacked from within, FULL FUCKING STOP! In a minute, I think they are going to continuously ignore court orders that are granted against them. You see what happens, America, when you put a conman convicted felon into the White House… HE DOES NOT ABIDE BY THE LAW. It feels like y’all literally told the robber to come on in and rob us blind. 😡 Courage is not where you stand in times of comfort, but where you stand in times of discomfort… I’m ready to see some Republicans find their spines! We have to do what’s right, TOGETHER!

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

JUST IN: Federal employees are receiving crude messages after the Trump administration's new email system turned out to be insecure. One of the mailing lists, for NOAA employees, is allowing emails to go through without any verification.

"We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to Whites, because their immune system is better than ours." ---RFK Jr. So what vaccine schedule should I have received? His answer was dangerous. I will be voting no.

Thousands in Germany have taken the streets protest the rise of the Elon Musk and Kremlin supported neo-Nazi party AfD, ahead of the general election.

So lemme get this straight: Trump has pissed off Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Denmark & Colombia this year & we're still in January. America will now pay 25%-50% more for: - Oil - Lumber - Electricity - Potash - Vegetables & fruits - Coffee - Ozempic Nice job, MAGA voters 😂

Danielle Hegseth, Pete's former sister-in-law, after Pete's confirmation: "A week ago, I was promised that my statement, on the record, would corroborate the other accusations and make a difference in key votes. But in the end, it did not. [This vote] will make women who have experienced abuse and mistreatment even less forthcoming because the men involved in the decisions leading to Hegseth's confirmation have actively perpetuated the mechanisms, including gag orders and fear of retaliation, that keep women silent."

NYC: Rev. Al Sharpton and 100 of supporters marched through Costco for a ‘buy-in’, in support of company’s DEI commitment

The Department of Labor is ending all investigations and enforcement related to discrimination in the workplace. This doesn’t promote merit-based work. It promotes and protects bigotry.

@AI8MyJob @wodouble22 So it sounds like a big part of your opinion came from not knowing what the bulk of dei work is. 90% of it is either increasing the spread of recruitment so that you have more applicants from underrepresented groups or making internal environments less hostile for more retention
