Just an extremely Normal thing to say
Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.

Do you get it now? Without due process, everyone is at risk. How are you going to prove your citizenship otherwise?
“DOGE is not about efficiency. It is about erasure. Democracy is being deleted in slow motion, replaced by proprietary technology and AI models. It is a coup, executed not with guns, but with backend migrations and database wipes.”

Eloise was literally like that in part one
And you're going to tell me that in the laps of one or two episodes she doesn't eveb bother to listen to Cressida telling her that a 70y old man wants to marry her ? That the friendship was “falling appart" ?!?
I can't bring myself to watch the last two episodes
So the National Park Service removed any mention of trans people from the page on the Stonewall National Monument. And removed the word 'transgender' from the page on Sylvia Rivera.
Hell no. Trans women of color built the gay rights movement. Full stop.
Check my Mastodon for a version of this at 300 DPI printable resolution! Take copies to a Stonewall protest and hand them out, if you're going to one!
Trump saying today, "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law" is very scary. These are the words echoed by Napoleon, a man who decided himself emperor and ended democracy.
This is not only an admission of himself violating law it is also him stating an ends justify the means mentality. The mindset is also used in dictators, cults and simply evil psychopaths.
If you are someone who is not politically active I beg you to please please please start being involved.
This does not mean simply look at politics online, you need to find local political groups and join them, go to meetings! Go find local protests. And start learning! No lil shorts, watch full length political exploration and history video.
I know times are hard and time is a valuable resource but we simply cannot stand by as our future is stolen.
No pride while there are genocides !!!
Love y’all, stay safe, share this if u can <3
Americans, I know we're going through it, but why do I keep seeing stuff like "I'm sorry world, we'll fix this in 4 years"? But like... what do you mean "4 years"?
We have midterm in 2026, yearly local elections, special elections, primaries, etc.
We have the right (dare I say responsibility) to contact our representatives and the right to organize and protest if/when they don't listen.
We need to find a meaningful way to educate people about propaganda and media literacy. We need to convince people to be willing to educate themselves. The habit of only checking in to politics on presidential election years needs broken.
I understand how defeating today feels, but we, especially those of us who could conceivably make it through these four years unscathed, need to stop this proactive surrender.
