In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

“The discovery of a secret Facebook group in 2019 full of racist, misogynist and xenophobic posts by Border Patrol agents brought to light more evidence of the agency’s culture of abuse. In it, agents routinely made sexist jokes, made fun of migrant deaths, and shared other hateful content.”
That $190 BILLION could have funded Head Start for 15 years
That $190 BILLION could have paid for universal free school meals six times over.
But instead he wants BILLIONS MORE to abduct our immigrant neighbors and traumatize their children.
This is part of a broader push the Trump admin began in term one (that Biden didn't roll back in any way). First each visa applicant had to disclose your social media handles. Now under Trump 2, the U.S. government demands that you make your social media accounts public so they can scan 'em.
Maryland has, for now, stopped ICE from converting a warehouse designed to hold commercial products into a warehouse used to hold people.
Similar lawsuits have been filed against ICE's warehouse detention camp plans in New Jersey and Michigan.
"Sancturary of the South and other immigration attorneys, detainees, some elected officials and @andreapitzer.bsky.social, the author of One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps, have described Alligator Alcatraz as a ‘concentration camp.’” #AbuseofPowerWatch
Unvarnished gutter racism akin to what you'd hear out of the mouth of eugenicist Social Darwinists in the early 20th century.
Homeland Security klogo: More Third World Violence: ICE Requests Texas Not Release Illegal Alien Who Murdered His Co-Worker with a Sledgehammer Release Date: April 20, 2026 If you import the third world, you become the third world WASHINGTON — The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer requesting local authorities not release Josue Abraham Chirino-Leonice, a 19-year-old criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, who is charged with murdering his co-worker to death with a sledgehammer.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is using official press releases to message that Westerners (they mean white people) are superior to people from the Global South (they mean non-white people). This is a dangerous, backwards position for our government to take.
/also, "murdered .. to death"?
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail.
An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.
Replace ICE with trained, law abiding FBI agents who specialize in immigration matters. This would solve the b.s. that ICE is doing. We need to give viable options to the crazy, racist institutions that Trump has set up. Yes, abolish ICE. Then, highly trained FBI agents can go after real criminals.
If they come here to the U.S. they risk being jailed by ICE. Even with a tourist visa. And, especially if you are not white.
FFS Trump is a moron. If we don’t sweep the midterms IDK.
Just admit y'all made a mistake already.
Son pendejos de primero...
Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.
Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.
Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
What the holy fuck. Today, Trump cuts funding to Catholic Charities for homeless children. Jesus taught a radical rejection of personal retribution, urging followers to break the cycle of revenge through love, forgiveness, and turning the other cheek, rather than retaliation.
IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead.
This is a VERY big test case.
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
We need to abolish ICE and transfer the criminal cases of immigrants to an arm of the FBI who are trained and educated. Not these white supremacist militia ICE people without proper training.

Why aren’t Republicans demanding investigations into the numerous sexual assault allegations that have been made against Trump?

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is
$96.7 BILLION: The amount that undocumented immigrants paid through their tax contributions in 2022, including $59.4 BILLION in federal tax contributions and $37.3 BILLION in local and state tax contributions👇🏽 #TaxDay
Undocumented immigrants also paid $25.7 BILLION into Social Security and $6.4 BILLION into Medicare in 2022.
They’ve helped sustain these literal lifelines for millions of Americans yet are themselves ineligible for benefits unless they manage to find a way to adjust their status. #TaxDay
“Carroll was one of more than a dozen women who have accused Trump of sexual assault or harassment. She went public in a 2019 memoir with her allegation that the Republican raped her in the dressing room of a posh Manhattan department store.”
This chart is stunning.
