Did I follow you? Follow backs are optional. A follow from me is a nod and a hello and just an indication I expect to see interesting skeets. A following back, to me, is a handshake and and a hello, and it's never something I demand. I'm not here for 'engagement' from or via bigly followed accounts.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Nice to see the Cassandras who’ve been trying to warn people about Trumpian fascism since 2016 get their due.
those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

This happened to me! When applying at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center it was between me and an Indian woman and she got the job over me, and then the director worked out a way to hire me on as well. The kicker is the Indian woman is far more competent than I am and it was the correct choice

Elon's DOGE legacy is a living nightmare for millions around the world. When he took a chainsaw to USAID he condemned millions to exploitation, abuse, suffering and death. It's on us to hold him accountable for that. #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall
Hundreds of underage girls married off and hundreds more children kidnapped as U.S. foreign aid cuts contribute to surge in violations against persecuted Rohingya children.
Trafficked, exploited, married off: Rohingya children’s lives crushed by foreign aid cuts
Severe foreign aid cuts imposed this year by U.S. President Donald Trump, along with funding reductions from other countries, shuttered thousands of schools and youth training centers in camps for Rohingya in Bangladesh and crippled child protection programs.

It's about the cruelty
According to a memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Trump administration plans to deploy immigration agents to the U.S.–Mexico border to arrest undocumented migrants trying to return home voluntarily during the holidays.

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.
