  • Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday, but officials refused to let him visit an erroneously deported Maryland man who the Supreme Court has ordered returned to the United States.

    Because he’s dead

    Ramirez, in a letter to House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) first obtained by Axios, requested he authorize an official CODEL to El Salvador.

    Given that the Administration’s use of CECOT for illegal and unconstitutional deportations is rife with ‘administrative errors’ … I urgently request a CODEL to conduct oversight," she wrote.

    The song Hotel California comes to mind here.

    Reps. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) both shared photos of themselves at the notorious maximum security prison on Wednesday in posts on X praising the administration’s deportation policies.

    I can’t even…WTF






  • because some people will have to pick up where Social Security left and care for them and, in doing so, will become even more desperate. Who will risk their job fighting for their rights knowing that not only their own livelihood, but also that of their old mother or their disabled brother is on the line?

    This is true for those who have support locally. I don’t have anyone I can rely on locally right now if this starts happening to the DML. There is no other safety net for me. The safety net I do have was already riddled with holes and partially on fire BEFORE Jan 20th.

    Also, this hasn’t even started happening and already people are struggling paycheck to paycheck and won’t risk it by protesting – at least not to the point where we can get sustainable numbers over weeks in all 50 states.




  • I wonder if it would help if I taped a bag with my name on it under the seat on each bus I could conceivably take to different grocery stores? But then I’d have to remember to take the bag out from under the seat 😆

    But seriously, I do have a bag in my backpack, but I’m not always wearing my backpack 🤦🏻


  • I am in NY state and this happened here, not sure where Lyra is though.

    Paper bags are $0.05 each Reusable bags vary by store, size, and design but are usually $1 - $2 depending on the bag design and size Thermal reusable bags vary from a few $$ to $10 depending on size

    For a while Walmart didn’t have any paper bags or reusable bags, that was fun.
