This is what pisses me off about the whole "don't give them a reason" rhetoric. They don't need one. They will manufacture one if they have to. I'd rather die than be a coward in this moment.
Pre Trump administration: The assault on the Capitol to overturn an election was not an insurrection, but protests against ICE is an insurrection
Pretty clearly setting the stage to use the Insurrection Act to crack down on domestic protests within the US.

Billionaire during fascist takeover that is disappearing our neighbors, family, and friends:

Aw man, y'all are no fun anymore.
The replies on here may not be as racist as Twitter, but they damn sure are hateful.
Talk AI: FU, AI sucks go away
Talk Business: Go away
Talk Healthcare: Crickets.

Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist

Adam, when you go out to protest, you wave whatever fucking flag you want. Don't coach courage from the sidelines.
Peaceful protests are fine. Violence is not and will only destroy your message. And please for the love of God do NOT wave a Mexican flag. American flags or nothing

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation.

"The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]."

This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities.

Aside from coffee, don't forget that 80% of the cut flowers sold in the US are from #Colombia. (That's how you spell it, White House staff.)

A 25% tariff (50% next week if Trump gets his way) will devastate MANY small businesses who get the bulk of their sales on Valentine's Day.
