Catching up on Current Events

Hi! It’s definitely been a minute without any new posts on Liberty Daily, and I apologize. I’ve been busy with work & my own personal life—as well as being out-of-state for a long while; however I do think this unofficial hiatus can be declared over. I’m not here to write an autobiography about me, though—let’s get straight to the deets.

DEPORTATIONS, AND THE ORANGE MAN

First and foremost, I’d like to say: how is it that a felon can get voted into office, take an oath; and then completely ruin how his upholding of said oath looks… Live on TELEVISION! I find that to be absurd, “I don’t know,” he says; “I’m not a lawyer, I don’t know.” But… A felon can’t work for retail? Fast food? You can run a country, but apparently—you can’t operate an airfryer or a cash register. Anyways:

Innocent civilians are forced to “reside” in a concentration camp with people who could’ve been criminals, (but most definitely aren’t) and are subject to not only the corrupt officers who like to beat prisoners; but also the potentially much more violent criminals looking to get their fix of adrenaline. Take Mr. Abrego Garcia, for example; he got arrested for having a pot leaf on his knuckle. If that’s the case, why not deport the people who work at dispensaries, then? They’re totally all violent criminals who all associate with MS-13, right? The pot leaf says so! It’s also worth mentioning that an unsettling number of children were recently deported “with no meaningful process”[1]. One of them had stage 4 cancer, and was allegedly deported without medication for their terminal illness, nor were they granted permission to consult the child’s doctor prior to their deportation.[2]  

There’s also Kseniia Petrova, the Russia-born Harvard student who was deported for… Not declaring frog egg samples—which is incredibly unlawful[3], as a typical customs violation results in a fine; not the revoking of one’s visa and being held for deportation.[4]

ELON MUSK’S SLASHING SPREE

Musk’s 130 days of being Trump’s special little boy are up, setting a goal to get the U.S.’ national debt (currently standing at $36.21tn.) down—let’s see how he did.

DEI: A crucial workplace and digital standard that ensured the safety of people of color, queer, and religious folk alike—guaranteed that everybody had equal opportunities regardless of their race, sexuality, or religion. Most known for having thousands of contracts and leases slashed despite it’s importance in the work force.[5]

18F: A tech division within the GSA that was terminated by DOGE, it consisted of strategists, software engineers, and product managers. One of their most important contributions being the upholding of healthcare.gov, the government’s official healthcare insurance website that made it’s debut in 2013—and crashed from a measly 2,000 users. At the time, a political crisis unfolded; but the end result was 18F, founded on the 19th of March in 2014; they brought in levels of digital expertise never-before seen, and have created many great things, one of their most iconic works being the IRS Direct File, serving ~30 million taxpayers during taxpaying sessions.[6]

*I planned on listing more, however as I was gathering resources; Trump HIMSELF questioned the legitimacy of DOGE, calling it “bullshit” while making fun of Elon Musk.[7] And I can’t blame the guy, even if I hate him—I mean, an estimated $160 billion in savings, but only 61.5 billion of that itemized, and even less on a receipt??? LOL.

• EDIT, 06/06/25: WOW. Elon has had a full meltdown after posting this, do I feel bad? The obvious answer is NO. Do I care for whatever “centrist” party he thinks he can create? NO. I’m also not siding with neither, they’re both billionaires who most definitely benefit from this “breakup”.
• I am interested in how the republican circle jerk over at Twitter feels, though—I bet things are tense, being forced to pick a side; we’re witnessing the segregation of a PARTY… It’s funny, but at the same time shouldn’t be overlooked—people are acting so immature and childish, and nobody’s batting an eye; only laughing at or with them while continuing to ignore the daily atrocities committed.

JOB CORPS

Just last week, the Department of Labor & Trump’s administration came out and announced the “phased pause” of Job Corps, which was executed almost immediately; putting hundreds of students and teachers back onto the street, as many homeless and low-income citizens attended Job Corps not only for the amazing on-site campus it provides, or the benefits (like a salary!)—but also the opportunities you’re given: you can be an electrician, get into security, hospitality… And so much more! However, many people (like myself) are being denied these incredible chances due to the aforementioned “phased pause“. And while this is a nationwide effect, some of our wonderful local governments (like Maine) are currently fighting to keep at LEAST a couple of their Job Corps locations up-and-running.

• EDIT, 06/06/2025: While I’m still editing this article, it’s worth acknowledging that the initial final day for Job Corps students [was] 06/30/2025, it was quietly moved to today’s date, 06/06/2025—causing panic and dismay to the students of Job Corps; many brought up that they no longer had the time to finish their trade at Job Corps, some rushed; many failed—and it’s all due to the abrupt slashing of Job Corps’ funding followed through by Trump’s cold-hearted administration.
• In my HOMETOWN ALONE, FOURTY-THREE STUDENTS are at risk of being kicked out of their on-site dorm at Job Corps, leaving them without an education, without a job, without money—and without food and shelter. Don’t forget that.[8]
