There’s NOTHING funny about ICE raids, there’s NOTHING funny about limitations placed on trans lives, there’s NOTHING funny about the undoing of our democracy, security, and destruction of our relationships with other nations. Gallows humor isn’t funny when lives are ruined or lost.
PSA: joking about ICE raids is not funny. Especially on work calls
ICE has questioned Native Americans and Puerto Ricans based only on their skin tone.
They have taken US citizens and a veteran into custody, and El Salvador will accept deportees from the US, including US citizens.
Just don't.

I think I might enjoy suing his ass, since his ass is full of money.
Yesterday I wrote how Musk and DOGE were engaged in a cyberattack on America's computer systems.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.
Call it what it is.

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury.
Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk.
Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠
