Customs is pulling aside non-citizens, even for DOMESTIC flights.
I don't have any more details. Be safe.
This is an insane solution to a problem that Republicans created.
Trump is laying off the DOCTORS at the Indian Health Service?! A chronically underfunded agency?! Irresponsible, dangerous, & a complete disregard for the lives of Native people and the government’s treaty and trust responsibilities.

For those who sneer at this:
It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed.

It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

SCARY AF! Project 2025. Our news and social media is already being censored. I had no idea that people around the world were protesting DJT on Inauguration Day until I happened upon a video on Tik Tok talking about it. I searched X/FB/Google and could only find one *article attached in 🧵
Do NOT let him occupy our attention 24x7. #Resist #StayStrong
Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.
