Trump administration deports hundreds of migrants, despite judge's order stopping removal (apnews.com)
 

Interesting highlights:

  • “Oopsie…Too late,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, a Trump ally who agreed to house about 300 migrants for a year at a cost of $6 million in his country’s prisons, wrote on the social media site X above an article about Boasberg’s ruling. That post was recirculated by White House communications director Steven Cheung.
  • “Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense,” Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.

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.

I'm a white middle-aged male on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and renting a HUD apartment. The only thing going for me right now is I'm heterosexual. As a member of Elon's "parasite" class, I'm figuring I'll be homeless or in a "camp" in an unknown location within 3 - 6 months -- if not sooner.

Totally not freaking the fuck out. Nope, not one bit. /s

This is the universe trolling us for the destruction we've done to our planet the last 100-200 years, right? I mean there's no other logical explanation for what I just read if everything in that article is true.
