“If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?”

As of April 14, over 180 colleges and universities have identified 1,000-plus international students and recent graduates who have had their legal status changed by the State Department.

In case it's not obvious:
- I'm horrified by the firebombing of Governor Shapiro's residence.
- I'm horrified by all the folks being sent to prison in El Salvador.
- I'm horrified by what RFKJr is doing to our health system.
- And there's so much more I'm horrified about.
But unless I have something to add to the discussion, I'm not posting. I don't see how that would help anything.
What I might post: articles with an illuminating perspective that's being commonly shared.

80% of Americans scream, 'Bring back manufacturing jobs!' But ask them to actually work in a factory? Suddenly, only 20% are interested. And Wall Street? Ha! They’d rather burn money than invest in US production. So forgive me if I don’t hold my breath for this nostalgic fantasy.

Dr Oz is pushing #HHS towards #AI -claimed: patients have rated the care rec from an AI avatar: =to or better than a human dr.
CMS: refocusing on its core mission of the #Medicaid program & restoring fiscal INTEGRITY(?) -programs served primarily as a financing mechanism for states rather than being an integral part of MDCD prgm innovations.
Oz thinks AI can replace much what the prgms do. I spoke to a local co hosp exec, Oz is🚨SHAKING THEM DOWN FOR DATA.

DOGE abruptly cut a program called Charting My Path for Future Success—a research-based effort that helped teens with disabilities transition from high school into college, work, and independent living. Now it’s gone without explanation.

Before the cameras started at the White House today, Trump said he wants to start sending "home growns" to el Salvador and that the dictator there needs to build five more prisons for them. Thanks a lot to all the people who didn't vote for Harris because she wasn't perfect. #authoritarianism #Trump #Harris #uspol

Can you feel it? I think we've got something here. I don't want to get my hopes up, but we could be on the verge of something HUGE. 🇺🇸

“Today's filings are a defiant "screw you" to Judge Xinis -they say they🚨can't "facilitate"
anything bc Mr Abrego is in Bukele's custody -threaten to appeal any order she makes requiring further steps +refuse to tell her anything.
Trump admin: thumbs its nose at the #SCOTUS,💔saying-there’s nothing the judge can do to order them to bring Abrego back +refuse to provide any info on the deal with Bukele, claiming it’s classified & maybe also a state secret.”

12 million people hospitalized in the U.S. need heparin every year, and we get that from China, which now has a 145% tariff.
“A basic medicine we use 1000x per day in the hospital, heparin, is also dependent on China, and people will die without it.”

All that happy talk about RFK Jr supporting the measles vaccine was bunk. The full transcript & subsequent reporting and actions make clear he’s deeply invested in proving vaccines are the problem, not the solution.
It’s part of a much bigger blow to American HC that’ll reverberate for decades.
“Truth & transparency aren’t desired by this sec.” (& throughout the Trump regime)
A sicker, poorer electorate is easier to rule. It’s a Putinesque.

“These legal orientation programs are often the ONLY way that immigrants held in detention can talk with a lawyer.”
-A Reichlin-Melnick
Trump & the oligarchs are pocketing millions from private detention facilities (prison camps). Denying asylum to undocumented immigrants by various nefarious means, guarantees the need for more facilities & everything that’s required to operate them.

Um, It Turns Out No One at the Ports Is Collecting Trump’s Tariffs
A technical “glitch” has created the biggest hiccup in Trump’s tariffs rollout.
