Literally shaking. Absolute monsters. DHS's Secretary Noem reassigned agents away from saving a child rape victim and arresting the depraved rapists and traffickers because she's obsessed with Trump's effort to stop immigrants from "poisoning the blood" of the nation.

THIS IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL. They cannot commandeer state and local law enforcement because they want to. THIS IS NOT LAWFUL. They cannot use federalized guard or military personnel for civilian law enforcement absent rebellion and insurrection.

Kinda wild how real estate/finance business moguls are raging against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for NYC Mayor because he campaigned on free buses and grocery stores in food deserts, but those are the same people loudly supporting Trump as he actually and INTENTIONALLY torches the economy.

Further confirmation from ICE HSI officers that they have been told to stop investigating pedophiles, human traffickers, and drug smugglers. Officers have been told NOT to take new criminal cases so they can instead go round up more random migrants. Morale is plummeting, especially at HSI.
At ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations division, which has long focused on cartels and major drug-trafficking operations, supervisors have waved agents off new cases so they have more time to make immigration-enforcement arrests, a veteran agent told me. “No drug cases, no human trafficking, no child exploitation,” the agent said. “It’s infuriating.” The longtime ICE employee is thinking about quitting rather than having to continue “arresting gardeners.”

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

Trump is disappearing people, wants to strip people of citizenship, has assumed dictatorial budget powers, is ignoring court orders, tanking the economy, and taking open bribes left and right. Media: maybe the last President was sicker than he let on.

"When historians look back they may very well pinpoint the early months of President Trump’s second term as the watershed moment when China pulled away and left the United States behind." China is making big strategic long term investments while Trump is dismantling the pillars of American power.

People are quick to make comparisons between US democratic backsliding and places like Hungary and Turkey, but the American South pre VRA is the better comparison. So much US history revolves around racial authoritarianism and the current moment is no exception 1/x

So not only are your retirement investments now worth 15% less than when Trump was sworn in; whatever dollars you do have are now also worth 11% less and you’ll have to stretch them to cover further inflated prices. The average American under Trump is becoming poorer every day.

One of the great sparrows, White-throated Sparrow, NYC #birds #nature 🌿 #sparrows
Extreme close-up portrait of a small bird with an intense, determined expression. Its face features a striking pattern of black, white, and bright yellow markings above its eyes that give it an almost stern appearance. The bird has a short, dark beak and a white throat patch against its predominantly gray-blue plumage. The detailed frontal view captures the bird's penetrating gaze and distinctive facial markings in remarkable clarity, showcasing the intricate feather textures and color patterns.

Thousands of Afghans with Temporary Protected Status are people who helped US forces and who risked their lives to work with the Coalition. Now Trump is going to toss them aside, strip their legal status, and maybe even try to deport them back to the Taliban. It's unconscionable.

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
