And he's done.
What a magnificent, glorious speech.

@Remittancegirl

Each time I see something on that erasing of history, I almost cry. All those people who risked their lives to help America!!! They existed, and they should always exist in our hearts.

@danmcd

I heard there's a lot of data rescue going on at the moment, too. A lot of archiving, and it would be good if a lot is done in Europe as well. Create safe spaces and many back-ups.

I suddenly feel my years and years old fear that 'the rich' will kill as many as possible to obtain a manageable world in which all richness goes to them, and the remaining people are kept alive (without investing too much in care of course) as their work force, is happening all over the world.

Project 2025 helps achieve that. Gutting health research and funding for hospitals, social plans, and more, helps too.

Only protesting won't help. We need to actively cut them out of society.

I just watched the Zelenskyy - Trump with horror. Horror.
Trump and Vance are both entitled, terrible, ill-informed / malignant, colossal imbeciles.

Oh my god, please smite.

So, now that Trump knows that Musk expresses so much criticism and disdain at home to influence his 4 year old enough that it openly tells Trump to shut the fuck up and that he's not even the president, I wonder when he'll see that his precious 'friend' is really an adder he held too close to his heart.
I look forward to an openly falling out of love between those two. I think things are heating up already.
And someone corrected me last year, saying Musk could never be in the government 😬

@MaryAustinBooks

The video said so much.

The boy: indoctrinated > now opinionated and rude. He needs guidance, not from an antisocial growth like Musk.

Then there's Trump's face. He understands what's going on but is a bit slow to fully grasp the repercussions. I think they by now hit him hard.

Musk needs to be taken care of and removed from anything that affects people. He is a clear and very present danger. The thing is: he doesn't care about our opinions, he thinks he's above everyone.

@georgetakei

I think he is finally, and terminally, high on attention and power. This will at some point be his demise.

What the hell?
Trump invokes wartime 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants alleged to be gang members without court hearings, supercharging mass deportation push and potentially sweeping people not charged with crimes.
The act was last used to justify internment camps for people of Japanese, German and Italian descent during WW2. The move - facing legal challenges - could allow him to bypass due process rights and rapidly remove migrants.

@slothrop
Done.

@thanius
Eeew! 😂
Well then you should try one, go ahead why don't you? 😂

@jeffjarvis

@thanius
What in the world? 😂
Oh my god, don't tell the Dutch who already have something named 'hair salon', I shudder to think of what they would do with this concept.

@RustyRing
I was strongly criticised when I told an American friend that I didn't understand why one should register. And that the system seemed strange, with the gerrymandering and so on. They said I was attacking America. And to mind my own business. They were already pissed off because I didn't like Trump and aired my thoughts, so, no love was lost. Their toooes, long they were.

Years ago I took a few tests to check my biases. They were part of 'Project Implicit': a non-profit international collaborative of researchers interested in implicit social cognition, bias, and disparities.

You can check different things such as race, gender, and more biases. It was very interesting! ❤

That's how it's done!
Getting together to move forwards.
Growing together to shrink the far-right.
United we stand.
Now, let's get things done.

It's so clear.
Yet many don't see it.

Politicians' tactics:
Preemptively accuse opponents of being something YOU ARE to make it seem as if YOU ARE NOT like that.

Wilders, Forum voor Democratie (for instance):
Call 'the other side' the elite to win over 'the masses'.
While they themselves are the elite and don't care about the people.

@me
Celebration time! 🌞
Great to hear good news, and about someone you love. Enjoy ❤

I sometimes get low and blue and sad and more. That's when I should not send anything into the #Fediverse.

I try to remember that.
But I am not infallible 😬
So, if EVER you think 'what the hell?' after a reaction from me; please let me know. These times are hard and the last year was erm, abysmal. So; tell me if you feel a reaction was a bit much.

Of course, I also appreciate 'You're the BEST, you're so nice, look at how cool you are, no one can beat your tough cookie arse' and so on 😂

@georgetakei
Enjoy! Or wait, WE will enjoy ❤

@thomasfuchs I still have my 80's Yamaha amplifier and it's still going strong. A bit of contact spray and it's good to go but I will at some point need someone savvy enough to fix it for good ❤
