I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is because everything they want to do is illegal
It’s not your imagination. Trump and the Republicans are drowning in dysfunction.
They can’t legislate — all they’ve got are executive orders.

📌 Congress has passed only 6 bills — the fewest in a president’s first 100 days in over 70 years.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.

This is 21st century Nazism.

Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.

Where is the global outrage?

The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

I think people will subscribe to DeepSeek just as they did with the Little Red Book app. Meta, X, and Amazon have compelled people to use apps run by people they hate, and whose owners have shown them nothing but contempt. If any other option presents itself, people will bail, and rightly so. I did.

The US TikTok 'migration' to little red book/REDnote/ Xiaohongshu isn't that weird when you think Western Universities have been accepting Chinese students in NUMBERS for time now. Young people are far closer acquainted with Chinese people than the government realise.

I buy books which sit on my shelves and then I read other ones I've downloaded
Recently found out that some people are actually READING all the books that they buy to put on their shelf??

Seems unbelievable but apparently it's true.
