Here is some coverage on at least one of the racist pieces of trash Trump specifically let into the country.
Why is he beholden to some much racist filth from South Africa?
This Week: Visas and Comic-Cons
A lot of folks overseas are afraid to come here now.
Let’s say it more clearly: citizens of other nations are fearful of what will happen when/if they come to visit the United States of America.
If you are fine with that sentence, you are a really shitty person and horrible at being an American citizen.
This starts with folks wondering if they want to come to cosplay at a convention. But in coming years we have the Olympics and the World Cup. Folks see how ICE and the FBI and police treat our citizens and have every right to be afraid. They see white nationalists in power and emboldened and pardoned by those in power.
Why would anyone come here to visit?
The Militia and the Mole
If our government had the will to do so, we could infiltrate the anti-American white supremacist gangs threatening our democracy. It *can* be done.
You just have to want to do it.
It’s Time to Start a Real Nationwide Resistance Movement
A few months have passed since this post, and other than organizing protests, I don’t see much action.
Where is a general strike? A concerted effort to list companies siding with Trump? Finding out who is building the camps, supporting ICE efforts? They are staying in hotels, eating at restaurants, driving rental vehicles. Name and shame and cut the spigot of cash heading to these organizations.
Getting folks together to speak out is fine. But if there is no cost, then what’s the point? Right now our police in Minnesota are, I guess, looking for a cosplay cop assassin. Considering they actually got into a shootout with them, he shouldn’t be that hard to find, right?
I mean, if it was a minority kid with a water pistol, he wouldn’t have gotten more than a block before they shot him dead.
You’re Not a Criminal, But You’re Going to Jail: My ICE Detention Story as a Canadian Citizen
This is how we treat folks with proper paperwork. Imagine how we treat folks who don’t have their ducks in a row.
There are billions of people across the globe judging us ALL for the horrid behavior of the worst of us.
We Taste-Tested These Gruels Because We’ll All Be Feudal Serfs Soon
Yes, it is tongue-in-cheek. That doesn’t make the information any less useful.
CISA Puts Election Staff on Administrative Leave
If I did a daily dump on the abuses of the administration I still wouldn’t be able to keep up.
In any case, here’s a story from a few months back on the job cuts at Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the elections security group. You know, the folks formerly tasked to make sure foreign governments don’t influence our elections.
You know, in case you wonder why we can’t root out the fascists.
Target Lets Go Pair of Executives Who Had Supported DEI Programs
So Target is bleeding cash and can’t see that a solid reason for it is their DEI program pull.
Their current solution is to fire a couple of female higher ups who were involved in those programs.
Yeah, fuck ’em. They chose this.
They are changing the menu, altering hours, opening spin-offs, closing spin-offs, putting out value meals.
But not once have they tried to disassociate from being TrumpBurger.
Hint, that’s why a lot of us aren’t coming. You’ll never get that stain off of you. But trying would be nice.
Pharmacists stockpile most common drugs on chance of targeted Trump tariffs
Drug stores are stocking up, preparing for the manufactured recession Trump caused.
I have also noticed shelves getting a bit thin in the early days. Stock up yourselves folks. It might be a wild ride this year.
Incidentally, I was in for an outpatient visit to the clinic a couple weeks ago. They recommended I get a Covid booster as long as I was already there. I got the booster. Maybe they knew Trump & Co. was going to restrict access to them.
