"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

Not in any way fun fact: Both Mexico and Venezuela have nationalized oil.
The military is preparing target sets for lethal strikes against cartel targets in Mexico.

The strikes were discussed at a July meeting at NORTHCOM HQ in Colorado Springs led by Colby Jenkins, Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations:

VA-District 2 covers such a large area of Hampton Roads and the people should not be ignored! If you're our representative you need to show up, not hide because the people you serve are unhappy. Veterans live here, families live here. If she cared she would be here, not sending out excuses.

Cubans with I-220As are being detained at their required check in appointments, whether or not they have a criminal record. A community that has largely voted Republican and supported Trump are realizing they are not going to be protected, that they are not white in the eyes of the administration.
Cuban Americans have had special privileges under immigration granted to them since the REAGAN administration that have secured their loyalty to the Republican party for generations. Trump is true to his word to his white nationalist base.

Everybody non-white is out of here.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.
2. A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

cool how Project 2025 went viral during the election, we were told Trump disavowed it and wouldn't do it, he got elected and started implementing it immediately and now we're being told "well this is what people voted for"

they very explicitly did not
The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
