#USIP employees told WaPo that 200–300 people — nearly the entirety of USIP’s HQ staff — had been fired. The employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of #retribution from the #Trump admin, said some employees were offered severance & one additional month of health insurance, in exchange for their signatures to WAIVE their RIGHTS to sue.

Warner on Fox News Sunday on Navarro's case for tariffs: "He's talking about tariffs in the first Trump administration. He should've looked a little more at history. I think they were called the Smoot-Hawley tariffs in the 1920s. That policy led to the Depression ... it insults the intelligence of the American people."
Aww. #RIP “Richard Chamberlain, the sandy-haired TV heartthrob who starred on the popular 1960s medical drama “Dr. Kildare” and later was touted as “king of the miniseries” for his leading roles in ratings sensations such as “Shogun” and “The Thorn Birds,” died March 29 in Waimanalo, Hawaii. He was 90.
The cause was complications from a stroke”

@GottaLaff “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ~ George Orwell 1984
A legal resident of New Hampshire was “violently interrogated” for hours, stripped naked, and forced into a cold shower. Given little food or water and prevented from taking medication, he collapsed and was hospitalized.

Elon Musks grandparents were LEADING a movement to overthrow the government of Canada back in the 1930s!
Musks grandfather was put in prison for months during WWII for being aligned with Hitler!
Musk left South Africa at 18 to dodge the draft, similar to Trump.
PSA: Women have miscarriages and the medical treatment to keep them alive is Abortion.
Is this just our new normal? Women being arrested if a cop doesn’t like how they miscarried, and lawmakers debating whether to put us to death before breaking for fucking lunch? Has everyone lost their minds?
Miscarriages happen without being seen by your doctor. Most flush it in the toilet. The emotional toll is heavy. But to arrest one for what your body does naturally is mind blowing. 💔
Genocide - the UK attitude
When it comes to sticking up for Israel, the UK really has got its knickers in a twist. Based on the false assumption that *any* protest against the Israeli genocide is automatically 'antisemitic', they're arresting peaceful people like Stephen Kapos -- an 87 year old Holocaust survivor.
Meanwhile in Gaza, the killings continue as the rest of the world looks the other way.
That's what he gets for buying Tesla. https://mas.corq.co/@rogue_corq/114247580731449246

In one executive order on Thursday, President Trump called for both the restoration of Confederate monuments *and* the removal of “divisive race-centered ideology” from the Smithsonian.
Could his racism be any more blatant?
The Confederates were about as “divisive” as you can get in American history. They literally started a way to divide the nation. And why did they do this? Because they had a “race-centered ideology.” (The Vice President of the Confederacy said “it’s cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the White man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.”)
What Trump is having removed is anything that celebrates people who are not white. And that’s racist. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/28/nx-s1-5343613/trump-executive-order-smithsonian-monuments
