Donald Trump, more detached from reality than ever, just shared an unhinged QAnon post saying former President Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by clones.

0% Loans for Downpayment & Closing costs that may be forgiven after 5 years if household income is less than 80% of AMI for those whose families were directly prevented from building general wealth through homeownership prior to the passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act.

www.wshfc.org/covenant/
Who is eligible for this program? Based on the mandates of the Covenant Homeownership Act and the recommendations of the Covenant Homeownership Program Study, the following eligibility criteria apply: • Household income at or below 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI). • First-time homebuyer. • The homebuyer or a parent/grandparent/great-grandparent lived in Washington state before April 1968. • The person who lived in Washington before April 1968 is Black, Hispanic, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander*, Korean or Asian Indian. *Following the U.S. Census definitions, "Pacific Islander" includes individuals with origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands, including, for example, Samoan, Chamorro, Tongan, Fijian, and Marshallese. Why must the homebuyers/family member have lived in Washington before April 1968? In April 1968, the passage of the Fair Housing Act made racial discrimination in housing illegal. Discrimination persisted despite the new law; however, the state no longer had an official or legal role in enforcing and upholding it.

CT Attorney General William Tong today sent a letter to Avelo Airlines expressing his deep disappointment and asking a series of vital questions regarding the company’s decision to enter into a contract to operate charter flights for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

#NoOneFlysAvelo
Texas 77046 alevy@aveloair.com Re: Avelo Airlines contract to operate flights for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Dear Mr. Levy: As someone who has flown Avelo Airlines and has cheered Avelo's growth in Connecticut, I am deeply disappointed to learn that Avelo may have entered into a contract to operate charter flights in service to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration Control and Enforcement Agency. Let's be clear what these flights are doing. These are flights separating parents from their children. These are flights where people-men, women and children—are shackled in handcuffs, waist chains and leg irons, where flight attendants have said there is no safe plan to evacuate people in an emergency. These are flights where people soil themselves because they are denied access to bathrooms. These are flights to dangerous jungle prisons in El Salvador and Guantanamo, where chained, bowed and shaved men are paraded before cameras for propaganda videos. These are flights flown overseas in direct defiance of court orders to return, and operated pursuant to a questionable declaration of war subject to active legal challenge. These are flights carrying terrified international students, snatched off the streets of their college towns for daring to protest. These are flights ordered by an administration that has sought to eliminate birthright citizenship-the core constitutional principle that has given me and so many others our futures in this country. Violent criminals should be arrested, prosecuted, and where appropriate, deported. But Trump's cruel and reckless deportation program has unlawfully undermined legitimate law enforcement by ensnaring innocent parents, students, and children. April 8, 2025 Page | 2 None of these abusive practices are required to secure our borders, promote public safety, or effectively enforce our immigration laws. These flights are cruel by design and enormously wasteful of taxpayer resources, and no business should be complicit. No one is forcing Avelo to operate these flights. If reporting is accurate, Avelo has freely chosen to profit from and facilitate these atrocities. The State of Connecticut has an obligation now to review this business decision and to consider the viability of our choice to support Avelo. It is the policy of the State of Connecticut to support, honor and protect families, to uphold public safety and to defend the rule of law. Connecticut taxpayers have supported Avelo's growth in our state by exempting state taxes on aviation fuel. Connecticut public officials have joined Avelo in celebrating and promoting new routes and expanded business in our state. Such support is a policy choice that may be revisited should Avelo's business practices conflict with Connecticut priorities and policies. We are owed answers on Avelo's Homeland Security contract to determine whether Avelo's business practices can remain compatible with such state support. 1. Please provide a copy of Avelo's contract that relates to its work for Department of Homeland Security, or its agent, contractor or subcontractor. 2. Can Avelo confirm that it will not operate deportation flights from any Connecticut airport? 3. Can Avelo confirm that it will never operate flights while non-violent passengers are in shackles, handcuffs, waist chains and/or leg irons and unable to safely evacuate in the event of an emergency? 4. Should restraint be necessary for a specific individual to protect public safety, can Avelo confirm that it will never operate a flight without a safe and timely evacuation strategy for all passengers? 5. Can Avelo confirm it will never operate flights with shackled children?

I don’t know what’s funnier, the fact that I just learned it’s legal in my state to own a kangaroo if I get a permit or that when I googled how to get a permit out curiously, 1 of the first articles to come up said “Let's make this clear: just because you can, doesn't mean you should.” Well played🤣
A map of the US with the caption “The legality of owning a Kangaroo in the US” with states where it’s legal and doesn’t require a permit in green, the states where it’s legal with a permit in orange, and the states where it’s completely illegal in red. A Screen shot showing a search for “how to get a kangaroo permit in washington” And the result showing the article: Exotic Pets That Are Legal in Washington State - 105.3 KISS FM Apr 9, 2024 - Let's make this clear: just because you can, doesn't mean you should. It is legal to own a kangaroo in Washington State, with a permit. These ...

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES

U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses.

It's the third highest monthly total on record.

The CDC has literally been gutted today.

There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet.

Thousand of scientists fired.
Entire departments erased.

No notice. Just deleted. After 22 years of service.
This isn’t just one veteran’s story—it’s a snapshot of what countless Americans are facing under a system run by a billionaire who doesn’t understand, respect, or value public service.
Now, she followed her wife into the storage room of their house outside Minneapolis, searching for answers no one would give her. A half-dozen bins held the remnants of 22 years spent in service to the U.S. government - first as a sergeant first class in Iraq, then as a disabled veteran and finally as a V.A. support specialist in logistics. She had devoted her career to a system that had always made sense to her, but now nobody seemed to know whether she had officially been laid off, or for how long, or why. "Are you sure you never got an email?" asked her wife, Miki Jo Carlson, 49. "How would I know?" asked Marver, 45. "They deleted my account." "Maybe it's because you were still probationary?" "My boss said I was exempt," Marver said. "I was supposed to be essential."
