Trump’s superbowl trip cost taxpayers an estimated $15 million. The median federal government employee makes $99,000.
In other words, a typical civil servant could work for 151 *years,* and still cost taxpayers less than Donald Trump cost them in one evening.

People are getting up off the mat.
People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency.

Does the new deal w Colombia address this at all ?
Yes, the deportees were in shackles. The crime they committed was having no documentation. That is not violent criminals.

Shame on any member of Congress who meets with a recalcitrant, pardoned seditionist. Even if they can't feel the shame, we know this can't be tolerated in a democracy.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?

As we see these images of people crying at the border after the asylum system shut down, it is again worth considering how indescribably desperate a person must feel to travel with their children through the desert, across the water, or through the Darien Gap simply for the *possibility* of safety.
