On November 27, 2024, Trump announced a "permanent pause on migration from all Third World Countries."

This is white nationalism as federal policy. New 4-part series documents how we got here.

Overstaying a visa is a civil violation.
The enforcement looks nothing like one.

America once swore there would be no kings. Now we’re watching gold arches, loyalty parades, and family succession unfold in plain sight. Power is being treated like property—and cruelty like strength. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s warning. #NoKings

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive by canceling elections. It arrives through endless “emergencies.” That’s what we’re watching now.

Why is the UK 🇬🇧 government handing all our data over to these evil people ? #Palantir
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · May 31
The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.

This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

I was explaining what it’s like to live with a disability—while people around me act suspicious or dismissive. My comment got too long, so I turned it into a post.

I see it now...

Putin awarding Trump Russia’s highest honor for his 'service' in the Ukraine war—because nothing says 'America First' like getting a medal from the Kremlin. A satirical take on loyalty, influence, and who really benefits.
