  • This is just fuckin’ sad.

    Conservatives get so up in arms about folks “taking advantage” of the system. When the reality is that there’s always going to be someone taking advantage of anything that can be taken advantage of. The percentage of the system being taken advantage of pales in comparison to those it truly helps. To cut off, or otherwise make difficult, the benefits to those that truly need it is horrendous, inhumane, cruel, and, to say the least, shortsighted.

    To anyone in support of this and squaring it away with something like “it serves them right” - do something with that cold, dead brain of yours like thinking just a little bit.


  • Not sure if NPR changed it but the headline linked says “Federal judge blocks Trump’s plan to target ‘alien enemies’ for deportation”.

    The article goes on to say that a federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan citizens linked to the gang Tren de Aragua.

    The judge blocked Trump’s action hours after it was enacted “stopping the administration from using it to deport anyone, adding that the administration should turn planes already in the air around.”
