An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

This is horrific. An innocent man is being held in prison in a foreign country simply for being brown.

“She describes [Zuckerberg] as a cross between a truculent teen and a toddler: he doesn’t like to get up before midday, even to meet prime ministers, and his obsequious colleagues feel obliged to let him beat them at board games.”

Sigh. The tech bros are all the same.

Rest in power Congressman Grijalva! We will miss you deeply.

Trump honored a cancer survivor. The boy's doctors now face his budget cuts. President Donald Trump honored a child cancer survivor during his joint address to Congress amid proposing vast cuts to medical research.

"A renowned medical school whose faculty helped treat a young cancer survivor honored this week by President Donald Trump is facing potentially devastating funding cuts because of the White House."

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

The man is shook. Cut through all the BS and see that the man is shook.

Keep the pressure on.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Im just dead inside. I no longer feel anything when I hear him. He is a loser and we shall persist. Fuck T and Musk.

DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk," Donald Trump says.

“Trumpcession” sounds like it’s going to be a thing. www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Maybe the right question to ask is not "how much money has DOGE actually saved" but "how many people have died as a result of DOGE cuts?"

After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent to purchase Tesla vehicles, the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., and now says the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed.

Not even DOJ lawyers know what Musk and his minions are up to

9. I understand from our Office Manager, however, that as of Sunday, February 2, no funds have been deposited to our bank account. We have checked our accounts multiple times a day since January 29, but no funds have been transmitted. We have received no information or explanation from the Administration for Community Living about the interruption in funds. 10. In short: we have received no federal funds since the OMB Freeze Memo was issued. Our Center had enough money to meet payroll on Friday, January 31, and to cover outstanding bills. But we did not have enough money on hand to cover another two-week pay period at full staffing. 11. Thus, on Friday, January 31, the Board of Directors voted to lay off three of our five employees and drastically reduce services to our customers. This presented a dire situation for our customers, who have immediate needs. 12. For example, on Monday, February 3, we are scheduled to take an 86-year-old woman to dialysis treatments (which we do for her every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Our agency is her only way to get to these life-sustaining appointments.

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
