For clarification, everyone of these ppl submitted biometric, biographical & other ID info to the U.S. govt via app to enter the country LEGALLY through this Biden admin program to help cut illegal entries. They had DHS-sanctioned appointments at the port of entry set for today.
Migrants in Ciudad Juárez who were waiting for their 1 pm CBP1 parole appointments learned 20 minutes ago that the app has shut down & those appointments are no longer valid.
This year’s march on the National Mall was far smaller than the Women’s March eight years ago, as many progressive women find other ways to oppose now President (again) Donald Trump. More from @jenniferagerson: 19thnews.org/2025/01/womens…

Trump's Treasury pick is reportedly Scott Bessent, the billionaire hedge fund manager. He'll be in charge of carrying out Trump's tariffs plan, expected to have a larger impact on low-income people (most are women) and low-wage workers (also women). 19thnews.org/2024/11/scott-…

Seth Moulton telling @reidepstein that identity politics hurt dems “I have two little girls. I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete. But as a Democrat, I'm supposed to be afraid to say that” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
I also really wonder if we have some of the causality on this backwards and it's not just online content being actively "radicalizing" but just confirming/being an echo chamber for how some young men actually do feel about women for a variety of other structural reasons
