A disabled woman named Alma Bowman spent 30 months, nearly three years, in ICE custody during the first Trump regime.

The daughter of an American veteran, they revoked her status because she wrote $1200 in bad cheques twenty years ago. Which she paid back.

When she finally got out of the camps, she worked with the US government as a whistleblower to prosecute detention centre employees who were sterilizing immigrants without consent.

Who were performing unnecessary hysterectomies and tubal ligations.

She used her real name. She stood up for injustice. She tried to protect others.

Now ICE has taken her again, and the media have been largely silent.

The MAGA crowds are cheering because they have no compassion.

No one should be treated this way.

I’m going to keep saying her name until she gets the attention she deserves. She needs to be released.

Justice for Alma.

There will be loss of life, and property damage into the billions. And the newly gutted #FEMA will not be equal to the challenge." americanprospect.bluelena.io/i

Trump Wants to Cut Tribal College Funding by Nearly 90%,
Putting Them at Risk of Closing

ProPublica found that Congress was underfunding tribal colleges by a quarter-billion dollars per year.

Rather than fixing the problem, proposed federal funding cuts unveiled this week would devastate the schools, tribal education leaders say

Hahaha I just saw someone call ChatGPT “Grand Theft Autocorrect” 😆

Based on an MSNBC discussion when Trump holds up his $B pot of Tariff money in the future and says “Look at all the money I collected. I’m the best!” The Libs should immediately run ads saying “You and we, not foreign countries paid Trump’s new tax. The highest tax President ever, took this off the backs of working class citizens, lowering your disposable and necessary income, to feed himself and his rich friends. And our National debt has skyrocketed during his steal. Let’s stop this now.!” 🤔

TODAY: Trump’s budget guy @russvought lies 🤥 that nobody will lose Medicaid after these deep cuts, and claims Trump’s agenda is not Project 2025 — which he wrote. (He also downplays the sickening Ernst “We’re all gonna die” quote and calls her constituents “astroturfed”)

Symbolically, on this day 29 years ago — 1 June 1996 — Ukraine handed over its last nuclear weapon to russia under the Budapest Memorandum. In return, russia pledged to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders. Russia got the nukes. Ukraine got “security guarantees." Remember?
