This is NOT ok. If people have violated laws, or are criminals & need to be deported then give them their due process in court. Otherwise, leave people alone!
FFS! We have a felon & adjudicated rapist in our White House & he’s kidnapping & trafficking people.

Happening now in Los Angeles

A protester holds a sign that reads, “Land stolen from Natives, built by slaves, & kept beautiful by Latinos”

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong.

We should be united

Civil Case No. 25-1050 (RJL) MEMORANDUM ORDER May 1, 2025 [Dkt. #13] This matter initially came before the Court on plaintiff American Library Association's ("ALA") and plaintiff American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO's ("AFSCME") motion for a preliminary injunction ("PT"). See Pls.' PI Mot. [Dkt, #13]; Pls.' Mem. in Supp. of PI Mot. ("Pls.' PI Mem.") [Dkt. #13-11. Plaintiffs sought a decision on the PI by May 4, 2025, as defendants intend to execute a "mass termination of [Institute of Museum and Library Services] staff' on that day. Pls PI Mot. at 1.

I. CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth above, the Court will GRANT IN PART plaintiffs' motion for a TRO. The Court will not, at this time, issue a TRO providing all of the relief sought by plaintiffs. Instead, the Court will issue a narrow TRO preserving the status quo as of this Order. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that defendants Keith Sonderling, Institute of Museum and Library Services ("IMLS"), Amy Gleason, U.S. DOGE Service, U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, Russel Vought, and U.S. Office of Management and Budget (together, the 5 Case 1:25-cv-01050-RJL Document 36 Filed 05/01/25 Page 6 of 6 "agency defendants") shall not take any further actions to dissolve IMLS or its operations; it is further

ORDERED that the agency defendants shall not place any additional IMLS staff on administrative leave; it is further ORDERED that the agency defendants shall not terminate the employment of any IMLS staff; it is further ORDERED that the agency defendants shall not further pause, cancel, or otherwise terminate IMLS grants or contracts or fail to fund such grants or contracts for reasons other than grantees' or contractors' non-compliance with applicable grant or contract terms; and it is further ORDERED that by May 6, 2025, the parties shall submit a joint status report (1) informing the Court whether the parties require any supplemental briefing on the preliminary injunction and, if so, proposing a briefing schedule; and (2) stating whether the parties consent to the Court extending this temporary restraining order until the Court issues a ruling on the preliminary injunction or the case is otherwise resolved. SO ORDERED. RICHARD J. LEON United States District Judge

BREAKING: Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, issues a TRO blocking the Trump administration from "dissolv[ing]" the Institute of Museum and Library Services, placing any more employees on administrative leave, or terminating any grants in the coming days.

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

🚨BREAKING NEWS:

Congressman John Garamendi tells Call to Activism that Republicans are pushing a $150 BILLION slush fund for Trump and Pete Hegseth to use at their discretion to "update” American missiles - with little oversight into how the money is spent and who profits.

Two cities stopped adding fluoride to water. Science reveals what happened.

The human condition suffers when fear overwhelms sense.

Conspiracy theories do not top proven science and endangering our children because reading is hard is not an acceptable action.

We need UBI so badly.

I just cannot put into words how worried I am for one of my coworkers right now.

If we had UBI, I wouldn't need to worry like I am about the things I am.

I just want you to know I consider you all my friends, and Zuckerberg can go suck it.

Religious liberty doesn’t mean the government gets to run a Catholic charter school, Governor.

That’s religious privilege—and it’s unconstitutional.

Public schools must serve all Oklahomans, not just the favored faith of politicians.

Donold is demanding an investigation into his 39% approval rating. I agree, there's no way it's actually that high.

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

Yes, this is a real tweet.

Small businesses are collectively panicking.

We're okay, for now, but I'll implore you to shop small whenever you can coming up.

Bezos can ride the wave.

That small etsy store, maybe not.

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

This is real. I just looked.

I ran a youth journalism program for over a decade and did regular battle with mainstream press folks who wanted me to explain why I wasn't teaching kids from Roxbury and Dorchester and Mattapan to be more "objective" about the systems of oppression they experienced every day. 🙄

Walz: I do want to give a huge shout out to our Canadian neighbors, they know that this is wrong. They stood up to it

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing.
Emergency powers? He’s abusing them.
And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve.

The math ain’t mathing.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory
