This is what we should be spending money on instead of cops to brutalize people for the circumstances that make their lives harder.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.

In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.

Dear news media,
Why not spend a few minutes today explaining how the process of going to war is supposed to work in a constitutional democracy? Because it ain't this.

If only they, I dunno, didn't protect anyone other than the victims with these redactions...

1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

I have been to the customer service desk twice but no one was there. Before I go back again cal you call to make sure someone is there?

Response from a supervisor on site: " do you need me to get you a wheel chair" (in a sarcastic voice)
#americanairlines #customerservicefail

To make matters worse, there was no info provided, no meal vouchers...nothing. Most of the time there was no customer service on site. When a supervisor came, this was the convo with another passenger #customerservicefail #americanairlines

3 gates, 6-8 delays, and 12 hours later, my kid is in a plane. For this we paid not only the @americanair.bsky.social ticket fare but an unaccompanied minor fee...I spent 12 hours at the airport today instead of my office so they weren't unaccompanied #customersevicefail #americanairlines

Note to self: stop flying @americanairlinchat.bsky.social the supervisor at the desk is being passive-aggressive to everyone even though we are the ones inconvenienced by a 7+ hor delay/possible cancellation. We paid an unaccompanied minor fee for me to sit at Logan all day. #unacceptable

Flying @americanair.bsky.social today has been brutal. Flight delayed, no communicator the staff, and only 1 person at the counter. A total, frustrating mess

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect.

This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus.

Homeland Security @DHSgov FALSE. Ricardo Jesus Prada Vasquez is a Venezuelan national and confirmed member of Tren de Aragua, entered the United States on Nov. 29, 2024 at the Brownsville, Texas Port of Entry via a CBP One app appointment. Prada was paroled into the US and served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge. On Jan. 15, Prada was encountered at the Detroit Windsor Tunnel in Detroit, Michigan attempting to enter the U.S. from Canada and was referred to secondary inspection. Further investigation resulted in Prada being designated a public safety threat as a confirmed member of TdA and in violation of his conditions of admission. Prada was apprehended and transferred to ICE Michigan for detention. On Feb. 27, an immigration judge ordered Prada removed from the U.S. On March 15, Prada was removed to El Salvador.

NEW: DHS has admitted for the first time that it sent Mr. Prado to El Salvador, in a statement which accuses him of being a gang member.

The man never once got a trial on this issue. No judge ever found him to be a public safety threat or a member of a gang. No due process. No nothing.

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

Venezuelan Immigrant Deported by Trump Administration Has Disappeared The Venezuelan man does not appear on a list of people sent to a prison in El Salvador, and his family and friends have no idea of his whereabouts.

So, so tragically careless with human lives. Like when he was separating kids (some of them babies!) from their families and erasing all chances of reunification by losing track, or never keeping track. 😔www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/us/venezuela-...
