Fortunately #DonaldTrump lacks the legal authority to deport US citizens into foreign jails.

I would not be surprised if he begins doing this with foreign students who protest his reign in #America 🇺🇸.

#ElSalvador 🇸🇻 has created a very scary option for #Republicans.

👉🏾 #Trump says he'd deport US citizens convicted of crimes 'in a heartbeat' if legal https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/marco-rubio-el-salvadors-president-agrees-house-us/story?id=118433524

@dalfen Yeah, this screenshot is fake. The fake screenshot also spread on X, but there has been no record of Elon ever posting about this.

I believe #ElonMusk is the only exception here, but everyone else who sucked up to #DonaldTrump may not be spared after all.

Trump only respects two things: power & money. If you have neither, you are considered nothing to him.

Any mention of #ClimateChange / #GlobalWarming & anything related to diversity is being purged from the federal government by #Trump.

👉🏾 #DonaldTrump’s data purge has begun https://www.theverge.com/news/604484/donald-trumps-data-purge-has-begun

The insanity just keeps escalating. Is #DonaldTrump President‽ Why is he allowing an unelected outsider gain unfettered access to the federal government‽

@paul @texastribune I need to move to a blue state as this is insane!

I guess #America 🇺🇸 will see more outbreaks of preventable diseases thanks to widespread ignorance. 😕

👉🏾 #Measles cases reported in #Texas as vaccine rate against the disease has fallen https://www.texastribune.org/2025/01/30/texas-measles-vaccinations-schools/ 🔛 @texastribune

So it begins…this is probably why many media outlets bowed down and kissed #DonaldTrump’s ring of power.

👉🏾 #Trump's FCC chief opens investigation into NPR and PBS https://www.npr.org/2025/01/30/nx-s1-5281162/fcc-npr-pbs-investigation

I expect @npr & @PBSNewsHour to fight this in court.

Sadly there are not many major news outlets left who refuse to bow down before the pumpkin 🎃 king 👑.

Finished Filing Taxes!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!

Fighting Uncle Sam in a the boxing ring I finally finished filing my taxes! This time of year is always stressful, as dealing with various tax authorities (IRS or Internal Revenue Service, State Tax authorities, County Tax authorities, Local Tax authorities, etcetera) is always stressful—& unnecessary complicated. I use TaxAct software to do my taxes as I have access to an accountant (if I need one), which makes it easier to file…

First ABC sends #DonaldTrump $15 million, & now #Meta will send #Trump $25 million. Trump keeps winning against media & social networks, yet he regards both with contempt.

👉🏾 Trump agrees to settle lawsuit against Meta, with most of the $25 million settlement going to Trump's presidential library https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-settles-lawsuit-meta-million-presidential-library-2025-1 🔛 @BusinessInsider

I was trying to figure out why @Mastodon stopped reporting accurate stats to https://fedidb.org & https://fediverse.observer (active users is reportedly “zero”).

The #Mastodon flagship https://mastodon.social is experiencing “technical difficulties” with their API right now. I am praying 🙏🏾 @Gargron & the Mastodon team fixes the issue soon!

I just upgraded to an #iPhone 16 last year too! 😂 But I might as well wait until #Apple rolls out full satellite support for iPhone (& hopefully #iPad as well).

👉🏾 Apple Works With #SpaceX to Support #Starlink on iPhones https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/apple-works-with-spacex-to-support-starlink-on-iphones 🔛 @theinformation

I know #Android fans will already point out that they already have satellite phones: https://satellitephonestore.com/catalog/sale/details/thuraya-x5-touch-satellite-phone

I have little sympathy for #OpenAI as they previously built their empire by stealing content from others without permission or compensation.

Now they are upset that #DeepSeek used their code‽ 🤷🏾♂️

I understand why #Google is doing this (as they usually follow the government’s lead when it comes to maps), but this whole “Gulf of #America 🇺🇸” fiasco is silly.
