Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas.

A puppet from the start.
I’m a farmer, a father, and a Retired Brigadier General. I’m not in this for fame. I’m in this to serve. Georgia deserves leadership with dignity, not division. Leadership Matters! Thank you to everyone that stepped up to share and donate. Please join us!
I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, Retired Brigadier General and farmer. I am running for Congress to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together. Repost and join us in this fight!
I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday.

This week’s New Yorker cover: multiple illustrations of a Trump-like figure, featuring a tie that hangs way below his crotch, a saggy neck and long floppy locks, dancing and balancing a globe until, in the last illustration, the globe pops like a balloon.
Oh I really do like this one.
“The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China.”
We are now viewed as a security threat, to our once closest allies.
Enraging & heartbreaking.

The constitutional crisis is here.
The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

Notice the difference in coverage?
The @wsj.com accurately reports what the El Salvador president said. That’s a fact.
The @nytimes.com, on the other hands, normalizes what the fElon “won’t” do. Not a fact. It remains to be seen in the coming constitutional crisis.
The NYT fails again.

Are you?? Remember this? 👇🏼
PAY ATTENTION!!
Make sense of this mess:
We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power.
So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.
A MORAL CRISIS
“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.
If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”
Take 3 minutes. This is important.
IF YOU'RE PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW, BE ENCOURAGED. IT MEANS YOUR FACULTIES ARE INTACT, YOUR MIND IS FULLY RIGHT, AND YOUR HEART IS WORKING PROPERLY. IT MEANS YOU STILL HAVE A SOUL, DOING WHAT A SOUL IS SUPPOSED TO DO: KEEP YOU DEEPLY HUMAN IN PROFOUNDLY INHUMANE TIMES. Quote by: johnpavlovitz.com
If you’re not angry, you’re part of the problem. To be silent is taking sides with the oppressor.
👏👏👏👏👏
Every conference you speak at, you hope there's a thing you say that is memorable. Didn't expect mine at Reboot Develop to be "if someone shits on a table in your restaurant you don't say 'I lost a customer' either", in response to a remark about the economic incentive against banning toxic players.
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.
Tax Day reminder that CEOs can write off their private jets and yachts as business expenses on their taxes, but you can’t write off the car you use to drive to work at their companies.
This is what tax laws designed to benefit billionaires and corporations look like.

This is how you handle a racist heckler.

Be kind or stay home.
Trump's obsession with DEI has gotten publicly ridiculous
Raw sewage is fine for neighborhoods of color
Of course he won't stop protections for "his" people
Everyone who voted for him needs to see this
Some of them may not be racist

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.
(Bloomberg) - The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products, adding to a growing list of headwinds keeping recession risk elevated.

It's been 34 days since a New Yorker was abducted from his apartment lobby and sent to a detention facility in Louisiana.
The Trump administration now admits this kidnapping was *solely* on the basis of protected First Amendment speech.
Free Mahmoud now.
If he believed in science he could learn statistically that is completely untrue. And I’d imagine just seeing his fugly face makes any straight woman dry.
One of the main lifelines small businesses have to surviving the catastrophic damage being caused by this admin, is local support by everyday people like us. The food cart, creative, farmer’s market, salon, indy services. We advocate for each other.
Know your community to build community.
Painting over DC’s Black Lives Matter Plaza and stripping the name is this administration literally saying that to them Black lives do not matter.
All the more reason we need to fight for Black lives everywhere, all the time, even more.

The attack on immigrants and trans people has always been a gateway to be able to attack anyone and everyone. If you are reading this, you are included in that everyone.
Fight now so no one is taken. Or soon enough there will be none of us left.
