Yall. I know there's a LOT of things happening all the time now. But do not stop watching this story.
The Trump administration is saying that they CANT return this man who was wrongly deported because of an "administrative error."
*can't*? Forgive me if this is tettering on conspiracy, but it feels like the only reason they *can't* is if this man is already dead. When was the last time anyone spoke with him? How sure are we that these people are actually ending up in these El Salvador prisons *alive*?
At the risk of doxxing myself, this was my old neighborhood. It's upsetting AND close to home. And I was just reading that his five year old son who has special needs has been comforting himself by smelling his dad's clothes and I just break down thinking about that.

A Memorial in Progess
On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. The factory resided in the 8-10 floors of a building on Washington Square in New York.
Doors and stairwells were locked by bosses to keep workers at their stations and “reduce theft.”
There was no audible alarm, some workers were able to get some warning by telephone when a warning call came from a different floor.
There were no sprinklers in the building. Within minutes of the fire starting the few exit routes were jammed.
Workers tried to escape using the flimsy exterior fire escape. It collapsed.
The factory predominantly employed young recently arrived immigrants.
The fire caused the deaths of 146 workers. The youngest was 14, the oldest 43.
Dozens of stitchers came together to memorialize them by embroidering the name of one of those lost and their age. Different styles and levels of ability.
Today a group of us assembled to assemble the massive banner. When unfurled at the ceremony outside the Asch building (the building that housed the factory) it will stretch almost the length of the block.
The first tile on the banner is a series of 62 blue squares with red. It represents all the people that fell or jumped from the building. I am ending with this one a volunteer made for Rose Mankofsky reminding us that “every safety regulation is written in blood.”
Every year another group of volunteers fans out across the city to mark the address of one of those who lost their lives due to corporate greed.
The ceremony on March 25th will be livestreamed.

Let these be the photos that mark tonight.
This evening, Rep. Al Green of Texas was forcibly removed from the joint session of Congress by the sergeant-at-arms for standing up and yelling “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid.” during the president’s address.
“He is a person who has consistently used incivility against civility,” Green said.
“I’m willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me,” he continued. “I didn’t say to anyone, ‘Don’t punish me.’ I’ve said I’ll accept the punishment, but it’s worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president’s desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.”
“This is about the people who are being punished by virtue of losing their health care,” he added. “This is the richest country in the world, and we have people who don’t have good health care.” (Per HuffPost)

Got a rare dopamine boost scrolling bluesky and seeing:
1) US politicians in deep red districts being confronted by their increasingly angry constituents.
2) Seeing the size and number of protests happening at tesla dealerships (scroll TeslaTakedown or check out Alex Winter’s feed)
3) Vermont showing up to scream at vance and ruin his ski holiday
People are out there being loud and getting louder
Protests are happening and they are getting bigger
Town halls are overflowing and when politicians run, people are starting to meet them at their offices or vacation spots
Let’s keep it going

USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.
Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.
If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.
Are you with me?
Spread the word.
'This won't work, this isn't widespread, nobody knows, we're in a bubble, blah blah blah' my mom, a 64 year old lady with no social media whose first language is spanish, told me about this before tumblr did, and said we are going to participate.
I've seen flyers for this in real life. Do it.
I looked up the media coverage, because it's a good way to know if this will be counterculture and easily ignored, or mainstream as people who might not see it elsewhere will hear it in the news.
Holy shit, y'all.
DO IT.
Forbes is handwringing. When Forbes handwrings, they're scared. Media Bias Fact Check rates them least biased and mostly factual, and slightly right politically, with high credibility.
The Root, a magazine about Black culture, available in English, Spanish, and French. Media Bias Fact Check rates them left-biased, mostly factual, and high credibility.
USA TODAY, and USA TODAY, and USA TODAY. For those of you who don't travel often, you should know this is the physical newspaper you're most likely to find in a middle-class hotel or a truck stop. This is their online edition, but the large amount of coverage suggests it may be in their print edition, too.
AZ Central on two different days. This is my "local" paper (it's the online edition of rhetorical Arizona Republic), but by local I mean it is statewide with a large readership and its articles often get picked up and cited as a reputable source by national media.
An editorial for MSN News urging people to take part.
I'm also seeing a lot of coverage in the kind of tiny little papers that serve just a couple of counties, where those towns will be buckling under the weight of greedflation and corpofedual policies and the residents will be ready to raise hell. States I'm seeing represented by these include North Carolina, western New York, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Ohio. Notice something interesting there? It's states from all across the political spectrum.
It's going to be a thing. Take part.

wait a bunch of ppl ( in mexico i belive) got togheter and made a mini movie where everyone is poorly pretending to be french in retaliation for the dogshit emilia perez musical this is awesome tjhey all have little mustaches drawn on with sharpie and are spealing the worst french ever
you can tell this was filmed in latam pq en el fondo se ven paredes sin rebocar
the extras are all mimes this is awesome
they even got ladybug
sorry party people this is the link go wild also trigger warning: its in spanish
Some jewels about this Mexican parody: it was created and starred by a trans Mexican actress/director. She also set up a go fund me to pay the people who participated in this, recognizing that it'd still be lots of effort from everyone.
And while Emilia Pérez has had low numbers in the movie's release this weekend, Johanne Sacreblue has made it to 10x more views than the number of people in theaters and has reached a top spot in Letterboxd in less than 24 hrs.
As we say in México, esto es agte 🚬

There are people – some in my own Party – who think that if you just give Donald Trump everything he wants, he’ll make an exception and spare you some of the harm. I’ll ignore the moral abdication of that position for just a second to say — almost none of those people have the experience with this President that I do. I once swallowed my pride to offer him what he values most — public praise on the Sunday news shows — in return for ventilators and N95 masks during the worst of the pandemic. We made a deal. And it turns out his promises were as broken as the BIPAP machines he sent us instead of ventilators. Going along to get along does not work – just ask the Trump-fearing red state Governors who are dealing with the same cuts that we are. I won’t be fooled twice.
I’ve been reflecting, these past four weeks, on two important parts of my life: my work helping to build the Illinois Holocaust Museum and the two times I’ve had the privilege of reciting the oath of office for Illinois Governor.
As some of you know, Skokie, Illinois once had one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors anywhere in the world. In 1978, Nazis decided they wanted to march there.
The leaders of that march knew that the images of Swastika clad young men goose stepping down a peaceful suburban street would terrorize the local Jewish population – so many of whom had never recovered from their time in German concentration camps.
The prospect of that march sparked a legal fight that went all the way to the Supreme Court. It was a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who argued the case for the Nazis – contending that even the most hateful of speech was protected under the first amendment.
As an American and a Jew, I find it difficult to resolve my feelings around that Supreme Court case – but I am grateful that the prospect of Nazis marching in their streets spurred the survivors and other Skokie residents to act. They joined together to form the Holocaust Memorial Foundation and built the first Illinois Holocaust Museum in a storefront in 1981 – a small but important forerunner to the one I helped build thirty years later.
I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. But I know the history intimately — and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Here’s what I’ve learned – the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed – a seed of distrust and hate and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. A president who watches a plane go down in the Potomac – and suggests — without facts or findings — that a diversity hire is responsible for the crash. Or the Missouri Attorney General who just sued Starbucks – arguing that consumers pay higher prices for their coffee because the baristas are too “female” and “nonwhite.” The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who don’t look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.
I just have one question: What comes next? After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities – once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends – After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next.
All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.
I swore the following oath on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible: “I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor .... according to the best of my ability.
My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.
If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this:
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
Those Illinois Nazis did end up holding their march in 1978 – just not in Skokie. After all the blowback from the case, they decided to march in Chicago instead. Only twenty of them showed up. But 2000 people came to counter protest. The Chicago Tribune reported that day that the “rally sputtered to an unspectacular end after ten minutes.” It was Illinoisans who smothered those embers before they could burn into a flame.
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the “tragic spirit of despair” overcome us when our country needs us the most.

Americans, I know we're going through it, but why do I keep seeing stuff like "I'm sorry world, we'll fix this in 4 years"? But like... what do you mean "4 years"?
We have midterm in 2026, yearly local elections, special elections, primaries, etc.
We have the right (dare I say responsibility) to contact our representatives and the right to organize and protest if/when they don't listen.
We need to find a meaningful way to educate people about propaganda and media literacy. We need to convince people to be willing to educate themselves. The habit of only checking in to politics on presidential election years needs broken.
I understand how defeating today feels, but we, especially those of us who could conceivably make it through these four years unscathed, need to stop this proactive surrender.
