When Trump took office, the administration set up a tip line for employees to identify and assist in slashing programs focused on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
Not one of the EPA’s more than 15,000 employees used it, ProPublica learned via a public records request.

Advocates say the move could further embolden cities and police departments to marginalize homeless people.

On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador.
Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away.
These are their stories.

Why does the American establishment seem to be content with suggesting kingship for #trump? Why stop their submission at that point?
Why don't they go for Trump, the god? Building a few temples, worshipping, sacrificing and so on. I'm sure Mr Trump wouldn't mind.
Dear G-d:
When I said that I wondered what watching a dictatorship form would be like, I didn't mean it *this* way!
When Hillary Clinton was first lady, a furor erupted over reports that she had once made $100k from a $1k investment in cattle futures. Even though it had happened a dozen years before her husband became president, it became a scandal that lasted weeks & forced the White House to initiate a review.

Trump Has Promised to Build More Ships. He May Deport the Workers Who Help Make Them.
—
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to increase the pace of U.S. military shipbuilding. But his pledge to also clamp down on immigration could make it hard for shipyards already facing workforce shortages.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Of Tech Bros And Trumpers
The reason so many Silicon Valley billionaires suddenly decided to back #DonaldTrump is not the mystery the media is making it out to be.
tl;dr The billionaires backing #Trump are crypto bros and they want to continue profiting from committing various kinds of crimes.
This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how some of these bros profit by investing in companies like #Uniswap that create excellent tools for #NorthKorea to launder stolen money with a passing explanation of how #Coinbase facilitates the overall system.

Watching the screw-ups in the Comey prosecution right now I'm just thinking #TACO , #Trump Always Chickens Out, should be joined by #TOFU , Trump Only Fs Up.
Because seriously... OK his supporters claim that he's not chickening out, that was the plan all along, but there's really no way to get around the F ups.
And this is a historically giant screw up.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Trump's Transition Team Is Tethered To Thievery (And Worse)
How is it that money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?
This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether. Together they've created an offshore legal fiction by which neither bears any responsibility if that money ends up in the hands of sanctioned countries like #Iran or #NorthKorea or international criminal organizations like #PigButchering frauds and weapons markets.
Which is exactly where it ends up pretty much constantly.
For bonus points $40 billion of those dollars came from Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX.

The “Invasion” Invention: The Far Right’s Long Legal Battle to Make Immigrants the Enemy
The #Trump administration is using the claim that #immigrants have “invaded” the country to justify possibly suspending habeas corpus, part of the constitutional right to due process.
A faction of the far right has been building this case for years.

"...let’s talk about #LizCheney. Her disdain for #Trumpism is sincere – but so is her opposition to realizing the ideal of egalitarian democracy"
Going to take a wild-ass-guess here, and yes, I had already read your entire thread up to this article
There is one and only one Job One in the United States of America right now and that is to permanently stop #DonaldTrump
Period. Full stop. Permanently (politically, of course. heh heh)
So all this political purity-of-ideological-bloodline as to either of the #Cheneys right now is cloying and off-putting
Let's deal with purity of political thought after #Trump is eliminated
Also see: any port in a storm, and the (even momentary) enemy of my enemy will be an ally at least until the critical problem is solved
Let's pontificate about political nuance in February
If we're all still alive, of course

Of the 238 men deported to the prison in El Salvador, DHS data shows:

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
