The 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' which was recently signed into law, eliminates unemployment and economic hardship deferments, reducing the option
When I say that Trump has no original play in his playbook this is what I fucking mean. This where America is back sliding into Nazi Germany.
With that said to the people who voted 3rd party fuck you, fuck maga, fuck republicans and fuck you to the people who didn’t vote.
Everyone who knows a tiny bit of history saw this coming.
Elon Musk's N*zi Salute at the Trump Inauguration Rally. The US government will attempt to censor this or shift your perception of it.
You Saw, What You Saw.
If anyone refuses to believe Elon’s Nazi Salute show them this one too. And remember folks, this isn’t a left vs right fight. We need everyone in on this one! Everyone must learn to not stand by on this one.
For those who are of the blind community (or really any other) and have not been able to access the details on the Federal Government Houthis Signal Group Chat, CNN has an audio read on it, posted above. It’s in video form but it takes both audio + visuals. thought it might be helpful for anyone who needs it.
I have a client who was diagnosed with literal LIVER CANCER, aka one of the deadliest, and normally so hard to treat. Famously killed David Bowie and Alan Rickman both.
He was given MONTHS to live, but then ended up being one of the first people in the state to get a state of the art infusion therapy for his cancer.
It’s been over a year, and his tumors have shrunk so much they are no longer detectable.
That used to be UNHEARD OF.
Federal funding is the only reason that happened.
Like Jesus Christ.
Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.
Trump removed bird safety regulations in his first term and now bird flu is killing so many laying hens that eggs are $5 a carton
Trump removed food safety standards his first term and now we have recalls every few weeks
Trump cut the subsidies for the solar farms under construction so now electricity costs more
Trump disbanded the pandemic response team and we now we have bird flu and tuberculosis outbreaks
In the last year I have become obsessively aware of private equity and the companies that are sold to them. I am allergic to a lot of things, corn being a horrible one. It’s in everything. But you know what it’s not in? Those same food aisles crunchy moms go down. So that’s primarily where I get my quick stuff, snacks, and juices. Over the last 5 years, each brand in that aisle has grown smaller which prompted me to look them up. Shrinkflation became the tell tale sign of a product that was newly under private equity. There’s a tiny percentage of brands in grocery stores that are not under private investments and if they don’t shrinkinflate, the change their recipe. Sometimes they do both so you are more angry over one or the other and don’t catch both changes at the same time.
Then we have hospitals that were once locally owned going to private investors. My hometown OBGYN had a board of locals that loved their hospital. One of the board members (😡Gale) wanted to retire early but didn’t want someone to take her place and so the board wouldn’t let her retire. So she found a private equity firm to take her position (there was some sneaky shit happening here) where they then forced the board members to give up their spots and merge their hospital under their brand. The quality of care immediately went down and the doctors were required to use a system where once their ability to be in tune with their patients and give them the time of day- now makes it so hard to give patients more than 5 minutes of their time.
Then there are the homes. Have yall noticed how many luxury apartment buildings are going up for $2500+ per month? Have you noticed if they are being filled completely? I mean come on, we are constantly being told that housing is limited and that we need more apartments to bring housing prices down. So filling those complexes shouldn’t be an issue right? Have you noticed they all look the same nationally? Have you noticed the same modular town homes going up on land that was big enough for 1 family home? What would have been ~2k sqft now broken down between 5 homes to ~800sqft. Or how there’s actually plenty of homes for a family of 3 but they are all owned under an LLC and each room is being rented out for ~$1800? Or on the flip side, there’s absolutely no 3 bedroom apartments to rent because they are designing apartments for roommates only and in that world 200 sqft studios to 900 sqft 2 beds 1 bath are the only thing profitable?
We were raised to believe the US is a free market and assumed it would never change. And although it was at one time, here we are with a handful of sand and a theory on free market.
A couple days ago I decided to do my own research and had to become my own detective because, and as the video states this as well, absolutely no one is talking about this.
This was a very interesting listen to by someone who really knows their studies. I thought, man, there’s nothing we can do about this. Nothing at all. But stick to the end of the video- after she freezes (it continues I swear). Yall know from my history, Trump could eat a bag of dicks. But, he’s still our president and if he has history of wanting this closed, maybe this can happen. It’s the only sliver of light I see out of this.
If we make enough noise, can we really stop this hell hole from becoming one and done? To take us back to a free market would do wonders for our skin.

A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities.
“It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized.
Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.
She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.
“He hardly got anything to drink. And then he wasn’t feeling very well and he collapsed,” said Senior.
He was transported by ambulance to Mass General Hospital. He didn’t know it at the time, but he also had influenza.

As Donald Trump pushes the mass deportation of immigrants, Yang believes she is one of the first Hmong Americans to be deported to Laos rece
A Hmong American woman who has lived in the Milwaukee area since she was 8 months old was deported last week to Laos, a country she has never visited, and says she is stranded in a rooming house surrounded by military guards.
Ma Yang, 37, a mother of five, said she does not speak the Lao language, has no family or friends in the country and that the military is holding all her documents. She was born in Thailand, the daughter of Hmong refugees after the Vietnam War, and she was a legal permanent U.S. resident until she pleaded guilty to taking part in a marijuana trafficking operation.
"The United States sent me back to die," she said. "I don't even know where to go. I don't even know what to do."
As President Donald Trump pushes the mass deportation of immigrants, Yang believes she is one of the first Hmong Americans to be deported to Laos in recent years. As of November, the U.S. considered Laos an "uncooperative" country that accepted few, if any, deportees. Zero people were deported to Laos in the last fiscal year, according to federal data.
…
"How do I rent, or buy, or anything, with no papers?" Yang said. "I'm a nobody right now."
Yang has no insulin for her diabetes and dwindling supplies of high blood pressure medication, she said. She is the only deportee in the house, she said.
…
On its website, ICE said it asks foreign governments to confirm the citizenship of deportees, issue travel documents and accept them from commercial flights.
It appears that ICE has been deporting citizens of countries that will not accept them. Over 100 people from such countries were being held earlier this month in a remote jungle camp after being flown to Panama, the New York Times reported.
Dr. Rasha Alawieh works at Brown Medicine and Rhode Island Hospital, and she had secured an H-1B visa, her lawyer said.
PROVIDENCE — A Rhode Island doctor who had traveled to Lebanon to see her parents was prevented from re-entering the United States at Boston’s Logan International Airport on Thursday evening, her lawyer and a colleague said.
Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, who lives in Providence, has been working at Brown Medicine’s Division of Kidney Disease & Hypertension since last July, and she been part of the transplant service at Rhode Island Hospital, according to Dr. George Bayliss, the organ transplant division’s medical director. She has been studying and working in the United States for about six years, he said Friday.
The US consulate in Lebanon had issued her an H-1B visa, which is given to people in specialty occupations requiring expertise. The visa was valid through mid-2027, said Thomas S. Brown, an attorney representing her and Brown Medicine.
Alawieh was detained when she returned to Logan airport, and family members are afraid that she is about to be deported to Lebanon, he said.
…
Bayliss said Alawieh graduated from the American University of Beirut medical school and came to the United States for a nephrology fellowship at Ohio State University. She then landed a transplant fellowship at University of Washington and had a residency in the Yale hospital system before starting at Brown Medicine last July, he said.
March 15, a massive storm passed through the southern midwest prompting myself to ask my in-laws if they were set in the morning. Thankfully they had alarms go off. note: no alerts from their phone. But they did not get anything near them. A win for us. But a loss for those who were truly affected.
