Definitely agree that the prison system knew or should have known about these problems and they're ultimately most responsible for this, but I'd want to know exactly what Quest said about their products and what Quest knew about how they were being used before I let them off the hook

"I'm going to create remotely located work camps and starve people there if they can't grow 'organic food', but they'll be voluntary! Promise!"

"There's an epidemic of autism, but I'm not going to force a 'cure' on anybody! Promise!"

Like, he hasn't said it explicitly yet, but it's a pretty obvious next step if he's ever so inclined, and it's not like this administration would stop him

Trump in February ordered the creation of a "Make America Healthy Again" Commission made up of Kennedy and other secretaries to look at everything from the rates of autism and asthma in children to how much medicine is being prescribed to them for ADHD or other conditions.

Secretary Brainworms and the DSM-5 table of contents administration are going to take a break from their ketamine amphetamine modafinil ozempic etc. regimens to fix all the rest of us, how lovely /s

I'm honestly surprised they haven't started talking about "curing" homosexuality yet

“I didn’t know they could do something like that — especially when you hadn’t done anything,” her daughter said.

What an awful thing to have to learn

Oh neat, memes, I love those! [Clicks article] Oh, two twitter embed videos that aren't worth the trouble to try to liberate from the shithead nazi bar platform, my disappointment is immeasurable and etc.

Why is mainstream media constantlyso bad at serving its readers?

Thank goodness, these fucking scumbags are ballot box poison who pretend voters in fly over country want more arms deals and subsidy money for businesses and don't want public healthcare and an expansion of the government workforce when they know damn well it's the opposite but don't want to piss off their donors by admitting it

Year to date it's down ~4%

Lyons was one of a series of Trump administration speakers at the 2025 Border Security Expo at the Phoenix Convention Center,

Oh yeah, these trade shows for government agencies that hunt down kidnap and imprison people are always disgusting spectacles of greed and callousness, I bet it's a lot like this one for prison wardens from the late 90s

Anyway, here's an archived copy of their agenda, hopefully the people named on it are tried for their crimes against humanity someday - https://web.archive.org/web/20250409175445/https://www.bordersecurityexpo.com/agenda/

OP posting endless divisive rhetoric against anyone going against the current US administration

Their very next post (to this community no less) is attacking the Trump administration

”The money was frozen in connection with several ongoing, credible, and concerning Title VI investigations,” a Trump administration official said

FFS, reprinting this administration's claim that they're doing a "credible" investigation the same week they're fighting to not have to return the man they say they mistakenly deported is just helping them spread misinformation, and letting them hide behind "a Trump administration" official instead of giving us their name (which would allow motivated readers to use publicly available information to see if that person has lied to us in the past, if they would have even been in a position to know anything about these investigations, etc.) is really egregiously bad journalism

It's not even like they're acting out over unlawful detentions or attacks on political speech, so I think it's more like "a dozen fascism enablers decide their personal greed outweighs their fear of the dear leader"

DOGE staff reportedly "freaked out" after seeing "Some of you guys are alright, don't go to the White House tomorrow" message from Musk (jk)

Ah, gotcha, fair enough. I don't think it's a helpful thought to be sharing with other people right now, but if it works for you hold on to it. And yeah, the sun shines brighter and the coffee tastes better and everything is little more intense when your life is an ongoing near death experience and you're living entirely in that moment and not thinking about tomorrow. The problem is that's something most people can't keep up for very long, and like there is no good way to raise kids in that mode, but speaking for you personally - become whatever kind of beast you need to to survive.

Good luck on the track, hope I hear it someday.

Also, if we had imprisoned everyone involved and seized all their assets Donald Trump probably doesn't win in 2016

We will not all get hurt equally, and some of us will be too busy running for our lives to just kick back and watch the self destruction

Also, I don't know what you think the self destruction of the USA is going to look like, but if you think there's some magical bottom we're going to hit and then it will be done and things won't get any worse you're sadly mistaken. Things can always get worse.

RFK Jr: "Bet"

For real though, yeah our government is absolutely disgusting and abhorrent right now

There are apparently hundreds of student visas being suddenly revoked all at once today

• Colleges around the US say some international students' visas are being revoked (archived)

Colleges around the country are reporting some of their international students’ visas are being revoked unexpectedly, expressing alarm over what appears to be a new level of government scrutiny.

Visas can be canceled for a number of reasons, but college leaders say the government has been quietly terminating students’ legal residency status with little notice to students or schools. That marks a shift from past practice and leaves students vulnerable to detention and deportation.

The list of colleges that have discovered students have had their legal status terminated includes Harvard, Stanford, Michigan, UCLA and Ohio State University.

• Visas revoked from several Johns Hopkins University students in Maryland, school says (archived
• U.S. government revokes visas of three international Duke University students, alumnus (archived)
• Several University of Wisconsin-Madison students, alumni have visas terminated by US government (archived)

For what it's worth, they're doing this shock and awe bullshit to try to terrify us all into obedience. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be terrified, but if this seems overwhelming just remember it's because they want it to feel that way.

leave the rest of us alone.

If we let them amass as a group and organize themselves I bet they won't, they'll end up needing some scapegoat they can persecute to show that they're more righteous than their neighbors and ought to be elected head of the PTA or whatever. Eventually it will burn itself out like these movements always do, but who knows how many people will get hurt in the meantime.

The best way to deal with fascists is to keep them separated from each other, spread out among healthy communities where they can grumble and complain about whatever nonsense they're worked up about while all of their neighbors just roll their eyes. Once they start finding each other and building a movement that can actually force their agenda on the rest of us our options get a lot less pleasant.

This is so fucking stupid, it is obvious from the facts here that the administration lied and broke the law when they said all of these probationary employees were fired for cause, but the supreme court is just going to ignore that entirely and say "eh, you're the wrong organization to bring this lawsuit, so the administration gets to go on breaking the law and demolishing these agencies until the right organization challenges them (and we're not saying who the right organization is)"

Just an absolute clown show of a judicial system
