You can be unapologetically antifascist and simultaneously not revel in moments of political violence like this.

Two children are now without a father, a wife is without their partner.

We need to humanize each other, even those we vehemently oppose.

The other two EO's would take aim at individual large donors and charitable organizations.

It is only speculation but these EO's may name:

Ford Foundation
Bloomberg Philanthropies
Gates Foundation
Open Society / Soros

+ other individuals admin sees as key progressive donors.

Another of the proposed EO's will take aim at groups that engage in any overseas activities by specifically blocking federal grants that fund these programs.

Among these EO's may be one aimed at changing IRS rules to declare groups working on climate change cannot be considered "charitable."

This could result in climate change orgs being stripped of their 501-c3 status, while chilling the speech of other broader environmental groups.

DEVELOPING: There is chatter coming out of the White House that as early as next week Donald Trump may issue as many as 5 Executive Orders targeting US-based nonprofits and civil society organizations.

The same ghouls who are actively gutting aid, social services, veterans benefits, and now possibly social security, are always hyping "private investments."

"Get a 401k" they say...

Welp, today they just flushed $2Trillion from your 401k in ~20minutes.

I noticed Fox News Pentagon Correspondent Jennifer Griffin is in Mike Waltz phone as "JG"

Could an errant click on the wrong JG accidentally have added Jeffrey Goldberg?

Speaks more to human error than conspiracy but why are they adding a Fox News reporter to a sensitive chat?

A bizarre PR exercise at the White House today as the Trump administration handed right wing influencers binders with curated redacted versions of Jeffrey Epstein related files previously released by the FBI years ago.

"The White House's move to handpick favored reporters to observe the president —and exclude anyone whose coverage the administration may not like— is an effort to undermine the public's access to independent, trustworthy information about the most powerful person in America"

Am I unraveling or did Elon Musk post *14* American Flag Emojis at *2:14PM* ET on Saturday?

Was this a nod to David Lane's 14 words?

In any other timeline I'd say I'm over thinking this, but with the current march towards fascist oligarchy I'm unsure...

It sure looks like Trump just "Hawk-Tuahed" his supporters.

If any other celebrity did this it would be shameful, but the fact that incumbent president just did this makes me ashamed to be American.

DEVELOPING: Credible sources are hinting that a Trump-aligned buyer may try to secure a US TikTok spinoff deal ahead of the January 19th deadline.

If this happens, Trump sycophants will have captured 3 out of 5 of the US' popular social platforms.

I'm not sure who else needs to hear this but if you are exhausted by the thought of starting fresh on a whole new social platform I feel you.
