       ⬆️ @Nonilex >> The #SocialSecurity Admin this week entered the names & SSNs of >6,000 mostly #Latino #immigrants into a database it uses to track #dead people, effectively #erasing their ability to receive #benefits or #work legally in the #UnitedStates…. The move, requested by #DHS Secy [& dog killer] #KristiNoem, is aimed at putting pressure on the #undocumented immigrants to leave the country.#LatinosForTrump #FAFO

       ⬆️ @Nonilex >> #JDVance, speaking during a trip to India, said the #US would “walk away” from the *peace* process if both Ukraine & #Russia refused to accept the American [Russian] terms.#Vance, with Indian wife in tow, also issued a veiled threat to #India on Indian soil 👀 “if India and #US work together successfully, we are going to see a 21st century that is prosperous and peaceful,” adding that if this didn’t happen, it would mean a “dark time for all humanity” https://apnews.com/article/jd-vance-us-india-trade-modi-defense-91ab957fc31c86010bfb7aff3c5f9cd6

       ⬆️ @cdarwin >> “A #Betrayal in Slow Motion”#Democratic supermajorities in #Maryland gutted the House Bill 1222 to ban #ICE Contracts 😡 This isn't treason, but it's a betrayal nonetheless.'For the moral sin of #treason, Dante reserved the Ninth Circle — the “lowest, blackest, and farthest from Heaven”… The worst sinners were the #traitors—those who betrayed their loved ones, their country, and their God. #Betrayal lies at the core of what we label as “treason"'https://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/treason-isnt-just-crime-sin-heart/

       ⬆️ @Nonilex >> Lutnick said there was, in fact, a “monstrous discussion” going on among #Trump admin officials about taking partial ownership of #defense giants.Trump's #rape culture must say the defense companies had this coming for them. In other words, they did it to themselves

       ⬆️ @Nonilex >> #Trump could have ordered the release of the files without an act of #Congress, & has not. And it remains to be seen whether his #DOJ will ultimately release the files.For that matter, #Biden could have released the #Epstein files, and did not.Also, his AG #MerrickGarland could have followed up on #Mueller evidence to probe Tump's money trail to #Russia, but let it expire instead.The least we should be asking is why did the #Democrats want to protect both Epstein and Trump.

       ⬆️ @nobody>> we need to make governments host national #Fediverse instances…Cool idea, but #Mastodon is broken because of its flawed #block feature.Already some very high profile accounts with large numbers of followers are abusing this feature.But imagine if millions of accounts start following a "national" account, it becomes so easy for the government to block some account and thereby deprive its own millions of followers from the blocked account.Mastodon blocking is badly fucked up.
