It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.

Elon Musk has now illegally fired:
- USDA employees amidst a bird flu outbreak
- FAA chair amid a plane crash epidemic
- People in charge of protecting us from nuclear attack
At this point Musk has to be considered a terrorist attacking the United States.

So now the Executive branch has not only taken Congress’ spending and law making authority… He also usurped the Judicial branch b/c now he’s the only one who can “interpret” laws???
Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is”
(This is not how the Constitution works)

The people banning all DEI in Government & pushing its elimination in the private sector, who fear mongered about CRT, who is banning teaching about the Tuskegee Airman in the Air Force, who repealed Affirmative Action, & who bans books by Black authors—want you to know that they don't see color.

It’s sad being in an echo chamber where people are just sharing local news, EMS alerts, and resources to help people.
Meanwhile over on Twitter, the biggest blue ticks are all calling the LA fires "DEI fires" and claiming they're deliberate arson by eco-terrorists who are faking climate change. So there's that.

I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year.
