Thee NYC angry black latina mom! ♉️🇩🇴🗽 🐝💛 @urbanmodernism.bsky.social · 01/05/2025
This administration isn’t just cruel — it’s messy. They sent the father to El Salvador, the mother to Venezuela, and left the baby in U.S. foster care. Now they’re smearing him as a gang member. It’s not just injustice. Its destruction disguised as policy. #MomSky abcnews.go.com/amp/US/el-sa...

He was sent to El Salvador; she was sent to Venezuela. Their 2-year-old is still in the US
The 2-year-old child of Venezuelan migrants is with a foster family after her mom was deported to Venezuela and her dad was sent to El Salvador, authorities said.

Judge Rodriguez, a Trump appointee, rules that the administration cannot use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of TdA. It’s a wartime authority & we are not at war, he holds. On to the 5th Circuit & SCOTUS.

The anger at the damage this regime is doing matters—but it’s part of the chaos strategy. The admin and its handlers want us angry in all directions—including at each other. Unless we focus anger into organized action, every pull will keep us dancing on puppet strings. Don’t just react; respond.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Trump officials start dismantling civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan

"I’m old enough to remember what happened the last time the GOP tried cutting healthcare to offset tax cuts for the rich. In 2018, they attacked the ACA. That November, they lost the House by the biggest margin in modern US history. That’s the sleeping giant they’ve awoken by attacking Medicaid."

Elon Musk --who is in business with the Chinese Communist Party--now has access to our IRS and Social Security data. If Musk were an app, he would be banned like Tik Tok. But because he is Trump's top funder, he can access our data. If Musk shared it with China, Trump would protect Musk.
