The Trump Admin. just made machine guns legal again by permitting the sale of devices that turn AR-15s into fully automatic weapons. Forced-reset triggers increase a weapon’s rate of fire to mimic fully automatic guns—allowing a shooter to fire an entire magazine’s worth of ammunition in seconds.

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

I think this is called transference.
Trump: "I don't think you can work from a home. Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they're gonna play tennis, they're gonna play golf, they're gonna do a lot of things. They're not working."

Violent crime is down and the U.S. murder rate is plunging thanks, in part, to strong anti-gun-trafficking and anti-ghost gun efforts by the Biden-Harris administration.
If A.T.F. funding is further cut, or a new A.T.F. Director is never appointed by Trump, expect rising crime in the future.

One of the things I am most proud of was helping to confirm ATF Director Dettelbach & work with him on reducing gun violence. If anyone is confused as to why I am upset with those who voted for Trump, read this.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
