This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status.
These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.
Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

And all around town
All the cool kids were arriving
Getting ready to get down
Some heading out to dinner
So going to Night Zero
Some starting the party early
And trying to be a hero

I underestimated how much better the TSA lines would be at the Pittsburgh airport. Night and day experience compared to before.

I don’t know much about Providence yet, but having a train that goes from the airport to downtown has to be nice.

Or just cancel your subscription... Try a streaming service that actually pays artists?
Spotify needs to remove the ICE recruitment ads. If you hear one, make sure to give it a thumbs down.

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

It's been so hard lately to get motivated enough to go do the one hobby I really love, but I managed to get out yesterday, so that feels good.
