Shout out to every single member of the @TrumanProject who is moving mountains to get folks out of Afghanistan right now. I have never been more proud to be part of this community, or more in awe of what it can do.
Adventures in Oppo, Lesson 11: if you’re going to post the whole file (which you should not do!), don’t forget to scrub it for notes from research saying “oh btw this is also a problem for us”

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
Oh hey! Look! You're all still here!
So I'll remind you that this is still an absolute hellsite full of disinformation and bait designed to keep you hooked and miserable. Go outside. Drink water. Make a playdate with a friend. This ain't real life and you deserve to be happy.
