Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has introduced legislation that would prohibit awarding government contracts and grants to companies owned by special government employees — taking direct aim at Elon Musk.

16 scheduled Teams calls today. Mostly positive.
27 international students with revoked visas at my university today. Intensely negative.
Going for a mental health walk. Because the scale of the mess is not quantifiable.

Here is an article from a few months ago that fully describes the SAVE Act which, on top of being stupidly named, is a Republican bill that the goal of is to make it harder to vote.

Thankfully there is still a filibuster in the Senate. I’d call your Democratic Senators and tell them to use it. If you have a Republican Senator, you should call them, too, because this is a nonsense bill.

🚨🚨🚨 #SCOTUS declined on Thurs to block a judge's order requiring #Trump's #administration to facilitate the return to the UnitedStates a Salvadoran man who the government has acknowledged was deported in error to #ElSalvador.

US District Judge Paula Xinis on April 4 issued an order that the administration return #KilmarAbregoGarcia, in response to a lawsuit filed by the man & his family challenging the legality of his #deportation.

2/2 Hate is hate. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, Republicans, Democrats... everyone is worse off for it. Are we going to end it? No. But that doesn’t give us permission to throw our hands up and accept it, make excuses, or discount it. It’s exactly the opposite. We must talk about it, write about it, learn about it, and call it out. This is a time for all of us, Jews and allies, to be extra courageous.
Now that we’ve acknowledged the elephants, let’s not let them plunder the table. If we do, we’ll never get to the Four Questions, and besides, the matzah ball soup will get cold. Seders end with the phrase “Next Year in Jerusalem.” We may be going out on a limb here, but we’re guessing that most of us won’t be in Jerusalem next year. We’ll probably be sitting right here. But we can’t take that for granted. We’ve already learned the bitter lesson that true hate is never little, it is never unimportant, and it should never, ever be ignored.

Dear Trump voters,
Yes, you did vote for this. Millions of people warned you. Herds of experts warned you. Trump had a web site explaining that he would do all of these things. Despite all of that, you voted for him anyway.

Congratulations on getting what you voted for.

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange it also means that any #transwoman who changed their name wouldn't be able to vote.. for example I changed my name on everything but my birth certificate a few years ago (did so legally), and I won't be able to vote since the name on my birth certificate and my state id and social security card are different (Natsumi on state id and social security and my deadname on my birth certificate.) they are literally trying to make it so even transgender women can't vote anymore.. Every woman is in danger in this country, and I really wish these people would stop attacking people they hate. Just let us all live in peace ;-;

🚨 There are 32 House Republicans who won by 15 points or less last November. 31 of them just voted to gut #Medicaid/CHIP & #SNAP along w/other critical programs. In #ALASKA, Nick Begich won by just 2.0%. 250,000 Alaskans, or over 33% of the total population, depend on Medicaid/CHIP.

@AlliFlowers He's driving our long term allies and trading partners closer and closer to China. You know how hard it is to get South Korea AND Japan to start economic partnerships with China?

@AlliFlowers #MAGAmoron is a perfect example of "Don't confuse me with facts, I've got my mind made up." In my career, I've run into many people like that on both ends of the spectrum. Some were dumb as rocks and couldn't imagine anything other than what Ma and Pa or the good reverend and bible had told them. Others were very intelligent and could not countenance someone else having a better idea or truth. Either way, they were idiots.

WATCH: “What are you afraid of?” Dems grill Maberry about his anti-DEI bills he claims are “anti-discrimination” (but won’t say who is being discriminated against) — even as he correctly describes why DEI was needed. FULL: www.instagram.com/reel/DINCuls...

Further proof that the administration doesn't care if you enter legally or illegally - they just don't want you if you aren't plain white.

It's inhumane to treat people this way. Karma is real...
