Deported under a little-known wartime law, more than 130 Venezuelans were sent from the U.S. to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Now released, several tell NPR they endured beatings, sexual abuse, and near-total isolation.

1. Trump's megabill will slash nutrition assistance for poor families, cause 17 million people to lose their health insurance, and add over $3 trillion to the deficit -- all to finance tax cuts for the rich. IN THIS THREAD, I WILL LIST THE COMPANIES THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED THIS BILL.

She’s one of the few explaining what’s going on with this bill to the people in easy to understand terms, and has been all year. Not showboating; educating.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

What are we gonna do about ICE jfc
Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history. The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple. And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.
If you are in these districts or know anyone who might be, call these reps. Tell them to vote NO on a bill that will: * Deny insurance to millions * Cause thousands of preventable deaths * Reinforce and expand the fascist regime of deportation and camps

The People’s Plan
🚫 What’s being cut: – NIH: –$19.5B – CDC: –$4B – Cancer research: –$3.1B – SNAP: –$30B – Education: –$12B 💰 What’s being funded: – ICE detention: +$45B – Tax cuts for the wealthy: +$4.5T over 10 years This is the trade.
this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.
ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...
I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
Happy Musk vs Trump day for all those celebrating.
The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Nostalgia as the perspective of a kid whose life experience is insular and local. Especially if you weren’t responsible for meeting your own needs or parents/caretakers hid the struggle. And shit circumstances harden kids in cycles of blame and anger. Ideologies reflect an unwillingness to evolve.
