Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Donny Trump is Elon's little bitch.

the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States that, as long as South Africa continues these unjust and immoral practices that harm our Nation: (a) the United States shall not provide aid or assistance to South Africa; and (b) the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation. Sec. 3. Assistance. (a) All executive departments and agencies (agencies), including the United States Agency for International Development, shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, halt foreign aid or assistance delivered or provided to South Africa, and shall promptly exercise all available authorities and discretion to halt such aid or assistance. (b) The head of each agency may permit the provision of any such foreign aid or assistance that, in the discretion of the relevant agency head, is necessary or appropriate. Sec. 4. Refugee Resettlement and Other Humanitarian Considerations. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take appropriate steps, consistent with law, to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination. Such plan shall be submitted to the President through the Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor.

Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The removal of the Jan. 6th database “signals the Trump administration’s intention to not only spare the president’s supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record…”

My personal theory is that Trump doesn’t give much of a shit about anything except winning, staying out of prison, pardoning his loyalists and getting revenge on people. I think he’s relieved to let Elon do whatever he wants with the government

“I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire.”

Brilliant.

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous.

I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them.

🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:

A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls So...

"A 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more"
www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and tax information.

Violation of this law is a FELONY.

I’m demanding answers on if Elon Musk is already violating the law.

Associating immigrants with contagions historically leads to very dark places. Which they know. Which means they’re leading us to dark places purposefully.

"it's an election-interference case, not a 'hush money' case, motherfuckers," she muttered, pouring her coffee

Trump Allies Were Told to Stop Saying They'll Put Migrants in 'Camps' Trump’s plan to expel millions of migrants would require massive new camps. His advisers are pressing allies not to call them “camps”

Surrogates advised to stop saying migrants will be placed in camps.

“…avoid terms, like ‘camps,’ that can be twisted and used against the president, yes,” says one close Trump ally. “Apparently some people think it makes us look like Nazis.”

Lolololololol! Right, too rich to be self-serving?!? Simping for the billionaire class is as repugnant and it is pathetic.

Legacy media is telling us that what we see happening isn't really happening.

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

This place was built it large part by a wave of trans early adopters and it’s a fucking insult that the mods here are letting a deliberate troll like Singal set up shop here to bully and harass them.

This isn’t a hard call, guys. Not at all.

When Trump instituted his inhumane family separation policy

Immigrant children were put in detention centers, abused and even died

It is estimated there are now 4.4 million kids in the US whose parents are undocumented

If Trump deports the adults

The damage to these families will be catastrophic

UPDATE: the snitch not only can't get the NYPDs $10k because she apparently called 911 instead of Crimestoppers... She has been fired from her job after the McD franchise was FLOODED with negative reviews. Live and learn!

Trump and his allies are more than willing to kick an adversary when he or she is down. Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan, described by email the probable Republican agenda: Authoritarians tend to target certain institutions to cement their control: typically the media, higher education, the bureaucracy, the legal system and the military. To varying degrees, Trump has promised to control, purge or punish all of these groups. He has pledged to remove woke bureaucrats and generals, and to protect free speech in the media and on campus by punishing organizations deemed to be outliers. Moynihan stressed that “this is not about wokeness, or free speech; it is about Trump using government powers to engage in selective punishments and purges on a scale we really have not seen before.”

Sold.

A Century-Old Law’s Aftershocks Are Still Felt at the Supreme Court (Gift Article) In 1925, Congress let the justices choose the cases they would decide. That change “continues to prompt political contention and crisis,” a scholar argues.

I hadn't considered it until now, but if you just took away certiorari, SCOTUS would hold the function merely of resolving disputes rather than a tier of demi-gods, deciding who gets to live or die or get healthcare or get away with crimes.

REFORM THE COURT.

Yeah, this isn’t working.
