*In yet another part of the #Trump administration’s Make America White Again agenda — and if you think we’re being hysterical, they announced this week that they would now allow military contractors to segregate their workforces — the Pentagon is scrubbing its websites of tens of thousands of photos and posts referencing anything that might be seen as “#diversity, #equity, and #inclusion.”*

A man told me he once got a "pretty good-sized" fish in that pond, years ago. He lacks for nothing in his life and is a strong, capable guy who leads a quiet life. But he carries that memory with him always.

This is how stupid #Trump really is. The #tariffs are paid by the importer company, not the country. Walmart pays the #TrumpTax at port-of-entry to the US Customs and #Border Protection (CPB). They then pass that tax on to the consumer via a price hike on the imported goods they are selling. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/88c9ccecb5b3fc139fbf2c50af07101400901196f92a68b09f543c7bc248585a/510ef85323647cbb7085860e1b010b9b2ee1a9c8dd734ed8f09066e71c47a49f.webp

Text from link, worth following and reading the whole thing: Anyone who has studied the fascism, violence and pogroms of the post-reconstruction era of America would know that white humiliation / Black progress has long been this country’s ticking time bomb.
The historical parallels are 1920s Oklahoma, not 1930s Germany.

I have posted this before but it’s worth posting again: #Trump and #Musk are pushing forward with dissolving the rule of law and ruling by fiat exclusively. The minute he starts openly defying or allowing his minions to defy court injunctions, that’s it.

#Meta has always been gargage and #Zuckerberg has been every inch as garbage of a human as #Musk and #Bezos. Historic assholes like Thomas Edison or Henry Ford would take a look at the modern crop of degenerate robber barons and shake their heads in disbelief. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/88c9ccecb5b3fc139fbf2c50af07101400901196f92a68b09f543c7bc248585a/a026cad787de1db8213c2fe93efbf2b78e1d76cc63de3f2e6f73e05913ea73b7.webp

Always remember, because they will always remind us, for #Republicans and other assorted #WhiteChristofascistNationalists, cruelty is a virtue when it is applied to anyone who isn't a #cis #het #white #man (or supportive of cis-het white men in general). https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/88c9ccecb5b3fc139fbf2c50af07101400901196f92a68b09f543c7bc248585a/4bf1debf21f8951001a9905ee3d7ebf16aa8051be1bb4f9778c483d763b2300f.webp

To be clear here, there is no "audit" occurring. An audit is conducted by qualified personnel in a transparent manner that has strict oversight and accountability. This is simply #ElonMusk and his #DOGEcels running amuck in high level databases of entities that have been investigating him.

Elon #Musk IS a robber baron and worse. He’s a foreign intelligence asset who is now shifting gears from his coup in the US to bringing his #apartheid buddies in from South African via the #POTUS and White Christofascist Nationalists.

Video at the original link is pretty cool to watch, both dramatic and dramatically symbolic for what it means to this country and region as a whole.

@npub1nwk…dgjz A couple of questions:
Is the Share function broken on the iPadOS version or am I doing something wrong? It works on the iOS just fine (copies a URL to the post to be shared). Would cross-reposting be in the cards for a future update? https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/88c9ccecb5b3fc139fbf2c50af07101400901196f92a68b09f543c7bc248585a/03af97de5632cd0ac21ce9806e3cd278003fb739446db188af4c29d9034d63ea.webp

It’s not malicious compliance, it’s just anticipatory compliance with the most nakedly and publicly racist president since Andrew Jackson. And just as cruel and inhuman.

🇲🇽🇺🇲 The Mexican president asks how cartels in Mexico possess weapons from the US military:
"How is it that there are weapons in Mexico that are for the exclusive use of the US military?
Who sold them?" https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/88c9ccecb5b3fc139fbf2c50af07101400901196f92a68b09f543c7bc248585a/c76285eaf541c2b093eb213c622f197ed3b95d7456580dc1cfb6028341fbdc1a.webp
