Not here please.

This already happened at least a decade ago. They hired an American, Fox News Media producer to run all of their media. I think he’s still there.

Yep, it began immediately.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what’s going to happen at midterms and 2028. Our democracy is slipping through our fingers like sand.

By the time it gets here, the workers will have the same conditions if the Republicans get their way.

This guy is someone we should all have on our radar:

Defending Jan. 6 Rioters, Investigating Democrats: How Ed Martin Is Weaponizing the DOJ for Trump

In the first letter, dated Feb. 3, Martin asked Musk to “utilize me and my staff” to protect the people and the work of DOGE. He vowed to take “any and all legal action against anyone” who impeded DOGE’s work.

“We will not act like the previous administration,” Martin added, “who looked the other way as the Antifa and BLM rioters as well as thugs with guns trashed our capital city.”

In February, Martin removed the chief and deputy chief of the Federal Major Crimes section, which oversees cases involving drugs, firearms possession, child exploitation, human trafficking and immigration violations. The two lawyers, who had decades of experience between them and were widely respected, were demoted to low-level roles; the more senior of the two, Melissa Jackson, resigned soon afterward. (Jackson declined to comment; her deputy did not respond to requests for comment.)

Martin also said he was “rewriting” the office’s policy for the so-called Lewis list, a repository of police officer disciplinary records. Prosecutors consult the Lewis database when they decide whether to put a police officer on the witness stand. They also use the Lewis list to identify officers about whom they need to disclose information to defense attorneys that bears on a witness’s credibility or potential bias to fulfill their constitutional obligations.

That was really a master class, I haven’t seen one of those in awhile. He used the story technique to make you feel dumb for falling for these busy looking leaders. It was dramatic in comparison. I’m seriously impressed.

So you’re completely correct. Progressives and Democrats, in general, are boring. Magas go around with coal burning trucks, racist outbursts, laws that usually go after the “other.” How do the progressives and democrats go after that sweet, sweet, comparison story without looking like dipshits.

I did not communicate that well. I didn’t mean “just left” as in recently, I meant I left out of the blue 100%. When I’m done with something, I’m done. Did the same with lemmy .world. I don’t log in and I don’t look at any of the old places. Randomly, I get info from a search, but that’s it.

I bet they’re focusing on the old.r users, they’ve been wanting to get rid of that for awhile. If they shadowban you and leave on your own randomly, there won’t be another mass exodus. That’s conjecture though.

Human dinosaur.

Why does that look like Elon? Good job cartoonist.

Having gone cold turkey and just left, it’s weird no matter how you leave. Realizing how addicted I was, was kind of hard for my psyche.

Trump’s 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term.

He’s not very photogenic either.

He cheated. He legally cheated, so he might have won anyway, but he also cheated cheated. Every accusation is projection.

This is something.

Organized under the “Hands Off!” banner, demonstrations voicing opposition to the administration’s policies occurred in over 1,400 locations across all 50 U.S. states,[18] drawing up to an estimated 3-5 million participants nationwide according to the demonstration organizers.[19][20] According to demonstration coordinators, the protests involved a coalition of over 150 progressive, labor union, pro-democracy, civil rights, LGBTQ+, and women’s rights groups.[24]

In Tennessee, protests were held in Knoxville[163] (reportedly with thousands of attendees),[164] Nashville[165] (around 3,000 attendees),[166] Chattanooga, Maryville,[167] Johnson City , Kingsport (around 500),[168] Greeneville, Morristown,[169] and Cookeville.[170]

In Florida, thousands of protesters demonstrated in Miami,[173] joined by about 1,000 protesters in Pensacola,[174] and nearly 2,000 in The Villages,[175] a Republican stronghold retirement community in which organizers attempted to limit the number of online RSVPs to 500.[176].

As part of Donald Trump‘s immigration crackdown, three U.S. citizen children were deported with their mothers by the New Orleans Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Friday morning. One of the children was undergoing cancer treatment and one of the mothers is pregnant.

Both families had lived in the country for years and had ties to their communities, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Louisiana, which warns that the circumstances of their sudden deportations raises grave due process concerns. The civil rights organization says that the first family was detained on Tuesday and the second family on Thursday, and that one of the mothers was given less than one minute on the phone before the call was abruptly dropped, after her spouse attempted to provide a phone number to legal counsel.

This is an opinion by an anarchist.

I think the thing that is most important from the study, is that getting 3.5% of the population works every time and you can ignore the rest. That works with what you just posted. In my opinion, he’s focusing on the wrong thing.

And SCOTUS and the Republicans are silent.

That’s because they’re trying to distract from the memo:

For purposes of this guidance memorandum, an “Alien Enemy” under the Proclamation and 50 U.S.C. § 21 is a person who is: (1) fourteen years of age or older; (2) not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States; (3) a citizen of Venezuela; and ( 4) a member of the hostile enemy Tren de Aragua, as determined by reference to Form AEA-21A, titled, “Alien Enemies Act: Alien Enemy Validation Guide,” attached to this memorandum.

(2) Removal of Alien Enemies

All aliens who are determined to be Alien Enemies under the Proclamation and 50 U.S.C. § 21 shall be issued a.Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal under the AEA and removed from the United States, except as provided in section (8) of this memorandum. In effectuating the removal of Alien Enemies, law enforcement officers and agents (“officers”) must follow the procedures below.

A. Apprehension and Removal Procedures in Proactive Matters i. Step 1: Validation of Alien Enemy Status and Execution of Form AEA-21A At Step 1 of the proactive AEA apprehension and removal procedures, a line officer, or any other available officer (“line officer”), is responsible for determining whether an individual qualifies as an Alien Enemy. As outlined above, that requires determining that an individual is:

• (1) at least fourteen years ofage;
• (2) not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States;
• (3) a citizen of Venezuela; and
• (4) a member ofTren de Aragua.

As outlined in that form, there may be instances where removal proceedings under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) would be more appropriate based upon a review of the facts of the case than removal under the AEA. Line officers should adhere to the instructions in Form AEA-21A, including consulting with their supervisor(s) and the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in making such a determination.

As much as practicable, officers should follow the proactive procedures above—and have an executed Warrant of Apprehension and Removal—before contacting an Alien Enemy,” the memo reads. “However, that will not always be realistic or effective in swiftly identifying and removing Alien Enemies.… An officer may encounter a suspected Alien Enemy in the natural course of the officer’s enforcement activity, such as when apprehending other validated members of Tren de Aragua. Given the dynamic nature of enforcement operations, officers in the field are authorized to apprehend aliens upon a reasonable belief that the alien meets all four requirements to be validated as an Alien Enemy. This authority includes entering an Alien Enemy’s residence to make an AEA apprehension where circumstances render it impracticable to first obtain a signed Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal” (emphasis added).
