Trump proposal to repatriate Ukrainians, Haitians would use foreign aid funds

I think the people in the administration wake up every day and say, “What cruel thing can can I do that will make people’s lives miserable.” I truly cannot put myself in their place to try to think like they are thinking.

At the nation’s elite military academies, the library stacks are being emptied by executive order.

Adults 18 and over attend these academies, not children.

This, unfortunately, follows a pattern of defunding and denial of science.
The trump administration is harming the lives of Americans, and some of that harm may lead to death.

Law firms should know better than to give in to extortion. trump’s executive orders are illegal and should be opposed. It is disgraceful that law firms should bend the knee to the one who would be king
In a word, #Resist!

Universities, law firms, and all manner of persecuted organizations should fight back.

Individuals (and organizations) should speak up and speak out. Silence = assent. And we should support and join organizations that are doing the same. #StrongerTogether
Do we have any protections from utter stupidity and dereliction of duty such as this? Anything? Or no?

The Alien Enemies Act is a notorious law last used during World War II to intern Japanese, German, and Italian nationals. It was used to deport individuals who are allegedly part of a Venezuelan gang. In addition at least two individuals have been incarcerated for speaking in favor of Hamas.

Trump issues executive order to eliminate ‘anti-American ideology’ from Smithsonian

Next, they’ll be burning books on the national mall and confiscating degenerates art

Trump issues executive order to eliminate ‘anti-American ideology’ from Smithsonian

JD Vance is totally unqualified to evaluate the Smithsonian Institution. This is so Orwellian! We will surely see the desecration of an internationally renowned institution #Orwell #Smithsonian

EPA moves to dismantle dozens of Biden’s environmental rules

Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator said “… We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age.” #climatechange is not a religion #climatechange is a reality.

Trump wants Guantánamo to hold 30,000 migrants. So far it has held about 300.

This is so wrong, so cruel, and so #trump administration. #migrant

There are a lot of dumb, stupid and illegal things being done by the so-called #trump administration. Telling the Dept of Defense to ignore climate change & stop all activities related to climate change has to right right up there on the list of stupid things.

When I was a kid growing up in Pensacola, I played “Army Man” a lot. I’d climb up in the persimmon tree in my backyard and pretend it was my fort. I’d shout “PEW! PEW!” and pretend to repel every kind...

The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone.

Society has changed before at the scale we need it to today: but that change was never catalyzed by presidents, PMs, or CEOs of the richest companies of the time.

The fossil fuel age won’t end until we ordinary people demand it does.
BP shifts course, boosting fossil fuel investments and cutting renewables
BP said on Wednesday it would increase annual oil and gas investment to $10 billion, returning the focus to fossil fuels, as part of CEO Murray Auchincloss' efforts to boost returns and improve financial performance.
