I worked in retail for 7 years. Every damn Sunday we would get at least one customer in their Sunday best turn into an impatient, vile, insulting human being towards us because of something in the weekly ad or whatever. I wasn’t particularly religious despite attending Catholic school for every grade until high school graduation, but this solidified my loss of faith even more.

Oh, and it was a tiny bit of an influence on me becoming an alcoholic too! Yay!

Meanwhile, in the U.S. I’m sitting here wondering if we’ll even have a flu shot available for next winter, let alone a new vaccine that can protect from Covid and the common cold.

Anything demeaning another human in an effort to make them less than everyone else is pure hatred and is hate speech.

The thing that bothers about this is the rampant speculation that is happening because of the state of American society right now. Will we ever know the truth for sure from the ME performing the autopsy given how extremely politicized things are right now? I don’t know.

The article, and a few other articles I’ve read all indicate that she resigned from being a US Attorney before Trump had his second inauguration. People here have provided links to information that she was responsible for investigating Israeli and Russian people suspected of criminal activity. I remained incredibly skeptical that this wasn’t anything other than pure coincidence.

Until I read a very interesting Substack article that goes a little deeper and makes the timing even more strange because she actually resigned THE DAY OF TRUMP’S SECOND INAUGURATION according to her Wikipedia. I got the Substack article from the “Talk” page on her Wikipedia.

Usually when people resign they give a slight indication of where they are going to go to next. Claims are that she wasn’t forced out. But all of this together just doesn’t feel right – her exit from being a U.S. Attorney and her subsequent unfortunate passing just bothers me.

Oh hey, look! I don’t have a Real ID or a Passport. I already can’t fly or enter federal buildings. Now I won’t be able to vote? They’re basically making it a requirement to have a Real ID or Passport to be considered a citizen at this point.

Millions of poor people are about to lose their U.S. citizenship is what this sounds like it’s coming to.

“No basis in logic”

No shit, this whole administration has no basis in logic. Just look at Project 2025 and the progress they’ve made on it in a little over 2 months.

I’m on disability and the last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking that I haven’t been thinking rationally about this situation and that I’d be homeless if my SSDI suddenly disappeared or was clawed back. My therapist considers it catastrophizing.

Turns out my fears ARE rational, we’re just living in a completely irrational timeline.

And there it is. Combine this “accident” with the Death Master List and you have a recipe for “accidentally” ruining people’s lives who are retired or disabled. We know how this administration handles mistakes now as well.

What does a person who is declared dead but indeed still alive do when this happens and they lose income, housing, and medical insurance? Asking for a very terrified friend…

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday, but officials refused to let him visit an erroneously deported Maryland man who the Supreme Court has ordered returned to the United States.

Because he’s dead

Ramirez, in a letter to House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) first obtained by Axios, requested he authorize an official CODEL to El Salvador.

Given that the Administration’s use of CECOT for illegal and unconstitutional deportations is rife with ‘administrative errors’ … I urgently request a CODEL to conduct oversight," she wrote.

The song Hotel California comes to mind here.

Reps. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) both shared photos of themselves at the notorious maximum security prison on Wednesday in posts on X praising the administration’s deportation policies.

I can’t even…WTF

Literally disappearing people off the street

Didn’t the U.S. fight a war against a country and its leader who did the same shit? I was never very proud to be an American because this country has done some fucked up shit since 1776. But this is downright terrifying to me as someone who is disabled and considered a parasite by Elon because if they aren’t stopped after this then it’s game over for any “non-white” people, LGBTQ+, and poor people in general to be disappeared.

This may be why they want Greenland so bad 🤔
