Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Banning states from passing or enforcing laws that protect workers from AI for the next DECADE is just plain reckless.
The labor movement is urging the Senate to remove this harmful, anti-worker provision from their budget bill.

David Huerta, President of California's largest union, was assaulted and detained Friday by ICE. Now the @aflcio.org, the biggest confederation of unions in America made up of nearly 15 million active and retired workers, is calling on members to protest on his behalf.

Only issue is that NEPA reviews are used by opposition to delay housing and public transor development. Dramatic reforms are needed to allow NEPA to be relevant in our modern context and not inhibit progress on modern issues.
NEPA is not a check-the-box bureaucratic hurdle. It's the bedrock environmental law that protects communities and ecosystems and informs responsible federal decision-making. This sacrifices our health and environment. There are no shortcuts if you want a livable future.

The Republican budget bill adds so much to the deficit that it triggers massive cuts to Medicare — on top of making the largest Medicaid and ACA cuts ever.
All of this just to put even more money in the pockets of billionaires.
It's not just bad policy — it's immoral.

I get Big Brother skeptical with more cameras, but damn this would be nice in some targeted locations.
I usually argue that ticket revenue clearly isn’t a money-grab from the police because it would be such a tiny % of their budget but holy moly $1.3m for a transit agency is a LOT
LA Metro’s camera-based bus lane enforcement program on two routes issued 5,500 tickets (total $1.6m in fines) in the first month, an increase from average of 570 tickets issued per month before camera-based enforcement.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.
This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.
It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.
