They’re not coming for the most dangerous or violent. They are abducting people at their jobs, calling them in for fake check-ins to meet their daily quotas, and kidnapping US citizens.

They’re coming to tear apart our communities. The cruelty is the point.

Crosswalk buttons across Silicon Valley have been hacked in recent days to sound like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. It’s both hilarious and disturbing. In one instance, robo-Musk is brutally honest: “Fuck, I’m so alone.”

The Insurrection Act - Why April 20? On his first day in office, Trump directed the DHS to take 90 days to come up with a recommendation on whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act to solve the non-existent immigration crisis. 90 days after January 20 is April 20.

Disability advocates warned the lawsuit could undo 50 years of hard-won protections. This isn’t just about gender identity—it’s about every disabled person’s right to access and equity.

HHS plans to remove gender dysphoria from disability protections under Section 504—but 17 GOP AGs are still pushing a lawsuit that could gut all federal disability protections. Schools, hospitals, and workplaces could refuse accommodations.

The Insurrection Act - What does it do? Invoking the Insurrection Act would allow Trump to deploy the military (including federalized National Guard) anywhere in the US. Trump may claim it’s to protect the border, but he could deploy these forces anywhere.

The Insurrection Act Explained

The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform.

Donald Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation by abruptly calling off the tariff plan. What’s fishy? “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social right after the market opened on Wednesday… promoting his own media company. Nothing to see here!
