An openly sieg-heiling Nazi who spends 90 percent of his waking hours amplifying Nazi conspiracies and campaigning for Nazi parties now has access to practically every social security number in the US.

Access to the system has historically been closely held because it includes sensitive personal information about the millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds and other payments from the federal government.

🚨 The Trump admin is going strip parole from everyone who came through the CHNV program who hasn’t yet applied for another status. Could be over 100,000 people. It’ll make them undocumented, with no work authorization, and they’ll be sent notices starting removal proceedings. They came here legally.

The DHS proposal would terminate a Biden administration program that allowed more than 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to fly to the U.S.

The genocide in Gaza hasn’t stopped—it’s just slowed. Internet access remains life-saving, but funding for eSIMs has taken a hit. With costs rising and donations dropping, Crips for eSIMs for Gaza needs to raise at least $42K CAD to keep folks connected. Help if you can!
• disabilityvisibilityproject.com We have also been steadfast as we can be—in a disabled way. For over a year, we have sent eSIMs every day, from our bed, from the toilet, in the hospital, while waiting for the bus. With over 160+ volunteers, we have sent over 18,000 eSIMs and kept several thousand active continuously, some for over half a year, totalling more than 41,000 eSIMs and top ups. Thanks to all of your donations, we raised over two million dollars CAD and spent over two million dollars CAD on a rough estimate of 600,000 gigabytes of data, in support of Connecting Humanity and Gazans on the ground. • disabilityvisibilityproject.com With keeping eSIMs active for this long, and Canadian-US exchange rate at a disadvantage due to, among other reasons, the Trump candidacy, our spending has ballooned while donations have dropped. As a result, we are currently several thousand dollars in the negatives, and need to raise at least $42K CAD to comfortably send new eSIMs to Gazans again. We have been eager to keep all our active eSIMs going, especially users who use 10GB or more a day, knowing one single eSIM can power a whole family or apartment, and knowing how dangerous it is to activate a new one in elevated locations. The genocide in Gaza is far from over, it has — as Bisan Owda and many others point out - simply slowed down. Until the local Internet infrastructure is safely restored, we will keep our eSIMs active and send new ones when we have the funds to do so.

Great news.

A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now.

Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge.

First win in court, as the case continues.

Maria Moe had been held in a low-security women's facility with no disturbance, complaints, or disciplinary record. Trump has held her in solitary confinement for the past four days and plans to send Moe, who transitioned at 15, to a men's prison where she risks facing abuse, assault, and rape.

If your takeaway from this election is that voters should vote for pro-genocide politicians & not that pro-genocide politicians should stop being pro-genocide, I really don't know what to say to you other than you seem to not have a problem with genocide. That's the conclusion I'm drawing about you.

The page in question, from Museum of Degenerates:
Pasting this from pages 108-109 of Museum of Degenerates (bluesky is truncating it). Pages appear along with the drawing: The GOP July 19, 2019 On July 14, Donald Trump launched his latest racist tirade against women of color in Congress. Referring to the four members of the so-called "Squad," three of whom were born in the United States, the president harangued on Iwitter: So interesting to see "Progressive" Democrat Congresswomen, who orig- inally came trom countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe. the worst, most corrupt and ineot anvwhere in the world (it thev even have a functioning government at all). now loudly and viciouslv telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out tree travel arrangements! In response, the founder of the Neo-Nazi Daily Stormer rejoiced, "This is the kind of WHITE NATIONALISM we elected him for." When told at a press conference that his comments were galvanizing such groups, Trump replied. "It doesn't concern me because many people agree with me!" As usual, he had the full backing of his cabi- net members, spokespeople, and staff, one of whom shot back at a reporter "What's your ethnicity?" when asked about the remarks. For their part, reporters indulged their periodic public pondering over whether it was acceptable to call the lifelong-rac- ist, son-of-a-Klansman, whites-only property leaser, hero of American Nazism, birther president a racist. Fox News hosts read Trump's comments amid guffaws, adding that Trump "is making an important point." During congressional hearings in 2023, it was revealed that after Trump's harangue, Iwitter changed its content moderation f…
