So they were sent from CA to TX? 👹Does anyone know if they’re being kept in TX or returned to the original fosters?

Seething with rage thinking about what the last 48 hours have been like for these children, and wondering if they were returned to their previous locations or sent somewhere new, likely terrified and without the comfort of a familiar face.

None of this matters to Trump, who sees all relationships as purely transactional and conducts international policy like a mafia protection racket.

Read this whole thread, in which the government's attorney, Drew Ensign, lies his ass off about both the law and the facts in favor of transporting children back to harmful conditions in Guatemala. In the middle of the night. On a holiday weekend. (The judge issued a TRO, flights are stayed.)

POTS and ventricular tachycardia in people under 65 are on the rise. Had a fun ambulance ride myself last year after a heart monitor recorded ~500 events of VT and Torsades de Pointes in a two week period. My incredulous attending EMT had never seen anyone survive TdP before.

This is something that people don’t talk about, but is quite important to the authoritarian dynamic. We are all now exhibiting the hallmark signs of a population that is no longer living in a democratic reality, but living in the Funhouse of authoritarianism and Palace intrigue that comes with it.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
