UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Really clear that the primary objective of this Trump term is to loot the public coffers. Just shifting as much money as possible from the public sector to the pockets of Trump and his 100 closest friends.
Trump: "FEMA is gonna be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I'd rather see the states takes care of their own problems."

I have been wondering why US leftists and liberals alike are so terrible at long term strategy lately. Then I remembered that we’re in this predicament because neither camp listens to Black people or respects our history in this country beyond lip service.

Here's a small weird potentially good thing: The USPS website is still, as of a few minutes ago, processing requests under the free covid test program. No idea when that'll be shut down, but it hasn't been yet.

This. And add to this- they ARE surveilling with zero oversight or consequences. They will do what they’re told by anybody from Trump thru ur local police.
Your government just showed you that your desires, your free speech, your ability to communicate and form community with others and even your income can be turned off and on like a light switch. That don't scare you?

If youre wondering why so many fake AI profiles on social media are traditionally marginalized people its because the goal is an illusion of diversity that funnels money away from actual minority creators and into the hands of cis white male tech bros.

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

Young people need to stop getting jobs in the medical field if they’re going to treat it like a blow off retail job or something. This isn’t Walmart, you’re handling people’s healthcare. It’s not ok to bullshit your work or no show or show up super late all the time. Get a job somewhere else.
