My God. My God.

So looks like Betar USA believed Khalil was on a student visa and takes credit for giving his name and info to the Trump admin. This goes back weeks:

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

“Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” Given that Rubio just designated a bunch of Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, will opposition to a U.S. war in Mexico also qualify you for disappearance by ICE?

fuck them oh my godddddd

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

actually maybe don’t pee on my leg like saying “yeah okay” is not a normal response to someone peeing on you

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

Democracy dies in daylight

These headlines certainly tell a story...

ppl need to stop sleeping on teen vogue like this story .. is so amazing important impactful showstopping

let this serve as the first—though unlikely the last—example that actually no, the courts cannot and will not save us. they’re a valuable tool! but they cannot sustainably go toe to toe with fascistic government takeovers.

Inhumane, harmful, and solves absolutely nothing. This is an attempt to disappear problems without addressing any underlying issue.

One of our brilliant students wrote an analysis of how Universities laid the groundwork for Trump's repressive policies. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

rising from my deathbed to say the flu is not cool and not fun and people should mask more and get their shots (granted i do both of those things but this is a group effort)

A day after USAID's watchdog office warned that cuts would cripple their oversight, The White House reportedly fired the inspector general

i am 100% certain that they are weekend at bernie-ing trump and just handing him papers to sign, the content of which is determined by whoever happens to want something to happen

i’m not a digital rights lawyer so i can’t speak definitively, but im like 99% sure that campaign as described violates multiple states’ data privacy laws — namely in their outright refusal to disclose how people’s data is being used 1/

NEWS: USAID is shrinking its essential worldwide staff to 294 — a massive decrease from 14000. An internal breakdown shows the agency being left with just 12 people assigned to Africa, 21 to the entire Middle East, and 8 to Asia.

This means that USAID will have just 12 people to assist as more than 25 million people starve in Sudan. 21 to assist as 2 million people try to return to their destroyed homes in Gaza.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

FACT: The entire federal civilian workforce accounts for 4 PERCENT of the federal budget www.ft.com/content/3bb3...

When you’re making your calls today, ask them also to be on the lookout for HR 86. OSHA cut the number of workplace deaths in SIXTY PERCENT. I’m a construction manager, & OSHA frames how I do my job. The call I never wanna make EVER to a family member is “your person is not coming home tonight.”

For a party that says we’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis, they sure don’t act like it

Do you know how insane it is that our government is currently being dismantled by a bunch of bitchless, frat reject, edgelords. These boys could be getting laid and instead they’re couping the government. But no DEI is the problem…

call me a cynic but isn’t it much more wasteful to have 10,000 people who typically do life-saving work be put on leave and get paid to Not do said life-saving work ………

looks like the website has a tipline … interesting … www.deiwatchlist.com/tipline

can someone define essential quickly

Still processing the fact that the richest man in the world, who was not born in America and holds no position in government, is currently destroying all elements of the rickety federal policy infrastructure that insulate working class Americans from harm

New: Musk and his minions have illegally installed a commercial server to control federal HR databases that contain sensitive personal information, including SSNs, home addresses, and medical histories, according to an OPM staffer www.muskwatch.com/p/musk-assoc...

This is a crisis response app. If a diplomat is in danger, for any reason, this sends their whereabouts to diplomatic security in country and DC

The corporate coup is global. Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it. They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule. They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

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...

The minions, as we call them, look to have gone to bed. We’re heading home…for now. FYI-Shutdown DC is organizing morning protests at OPM every day this week. If you want to get more plugged into these protests, check them out. (will provide socials when I can)

Fascists Jack Posobiec and Steve Bannon release plans to replace NPR with Nazi propaganda machine led by Laura Loomer, Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson.

i hadn’t been thinking about how the tariffs were going to personally affect me until my mom reminded me that most braiding hair comes from china…

hey so like . this is a coup

From @aaup.bsky.social, what to do if ICE is on your campus.

On the bright side, this excellent from the CA Dept of Education: "our offer is this: *nothing.*"

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

it begins: “A grand jury in Louisiana has indicted a NY doctor for providing abortion pills to a Louisiana resident. The case appears to be the 1st time criminal charges have been filed against an abortion provider for sending pills into a state with an abortion ban.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/h...

again this is a full scale attack on constitutional government

Here's a checklist for backing up federal databases. Please share. Thanks. libraries.mit.edu/data-managem...
