Diversity, equity, and inclusion aren’t just aspirations that any decent human being should support—they’re at the very heart of the life, teachings, and existence of Jesus.

Christians fighting these things are rebelling against their supposed God.

Hey White MAGA Christians, You Know DEI Was Jesus' Whole Point, Right?
So, DEI is the new “woke”: MAGA America’s default boogeyman-du-jour.

WHERE ARE AMERICA’S SO-CALLED LEADERS?
“Musk’s ego and actions suggest he might outstrip historical tyrants in his own way.” — Grok I am an award-winning scientist and entrepreneur thrice recognized by the United States Department of Homeland Security as having extraordinary ability. I have had the privilege of working with Stephen Hawking, of being mentored by Nobel Laureate Francis Crick, and of creating a multibillion dollar company of which I am supermajority owner. I have known Elon Musk at a deep level for 14 years. I understand exactly how sick, dangerous, sadistic, manipulative and power-hungry he truly is. He has a pattern of investing in companies, destabilizing and wounding them under the guise of making them more “efficient” before sacking their leader and taking them over. He did that with Tesla and Twitter — he tried a similar thing at OpenAI and NeuroVigil, and I had to fire him from my own company. Now, this person who worships Sulla, the Roman general who wrestled power away from the Senate and became Dictator, is doing the exact same thing with the US government, his biggest investment to-date, using Trump to tear down the Constitution and weaken the country before he tears up Trump. We are in the first phase of a double coup, the first by Musk via Trump, and the second by Musk against Trump. Elon wants to be Dictator — yes, really. His own AI recognizes the historic danger he poses. America IS under attack while Congress is in a coma. Your home is literally on fire while you are asleep and suffocating in the fumes. This is NOT a drill. Take a good look at what is happening and finally wake the fuck up! We have essential workers getting fired, we have highly qualified people fired because of their gender, sexual orientation or skin color, we have universities, the FBI and military leadership and legal corps gutted, we have entire agencies defunded in contravention of Article 1 of the Constitution, we have Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security threatened by a Nazi Saluting Goverment Subsidized Corporate Welfare Baby, hiding behind a fake “agency”, who locked out government officials out of their office and stole Americans’ private information, we have Google pressured to summarily rename geography and social media coerced to practice censorship, we have a Vice President scolding a freedom fighter and meeting Nazis, we have a President violating the Records Act, the Hatch Act, and the 1st Amendment, a President bullying the media and law firms, a President claiming that he can interpret the law as he sees fit and that he is above the law in the first place, a President kidnapping British and Canadian tourists and even a US Permanent Resident, a President turning Guantanamo into a fucking Concentration Camp, a President who is creating a dumb trade war with Mexico as well as with Canada which it is removing from 5 Eyes and which it promises to annex, a President crashing the stock market, a President abandoning Ukraine, and a President who today promised the invasion of Greenland in front of the NATO Secretary General!! THIS IS A COUP BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH Where are the so-called Constitution Loving “Patriotic” Republicans in Congress? Have they ALL abdicated their solemn duty to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”? Are they hoping the Judiciary will magically swoop in before fucking tanks are in the streets? Have they not studied History? Do they not have, for all their tough talking over the years, a picogram of Courage? WHERE THE FUCK ARE AMERICA’S SO-CALLED LEADERS? Where is President Bill Clinton? Where is Barack Obama? Where is Joe Biden? Where is Kamala Harris? And, especially, where the hell is George W. Bush? Most of them spoke a big game about “standing up to Putin”, and sent young men and women who otherwise had their whole lives ahead of them overseas to make the Ultimate Sacrifice to protect the freedoms of other countries, but yet they cannot find it in their stomach to stand up to a Petty Buffoon, a Village Idiot despised by the majority of Americans and utter one fucking syllable to protect Freedom at home and the very Constitutional Republic it stands on? Have they completely abandoned the very people who stood by them and the “ideals” they claimed to hold dear? Don’t they fathom that they can mobilize the Public to put Real Pressure on Congress, that they can embolden Judges and, for the former Commanders in Chief, that they can act as a moral guardrail against Trump unleashing the military on the People? If they are not speaking because they are worried Trump will remove their protection and leave them at the mercy of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers — actual domestic terrorists he released from jail — as he has for Anthony Fauci and General Milley who have served honorably, then SHARE AND @highlight THIS MESSAGE, and tell them that a Canadian citizen, Philip Low, will pay for their security and protect their right to free speech, but they need to EXERCISE IT NOW!!!

It is not as stated about deporting immigrants who came across the Southern Border, that is happening regardless — it is actually about detaining Canadian and British nationals, which has already begun, for war across the Northern Border.
Trump to invoke wartime Alien Enemies Act to carry out mass deportations: Sources
Trump is expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act as part of the efforts to carry out mass deportations, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.
