Trump Administration - Blog Posts
Someone please tell me that did not just happen.
[Image ID: A photo of Elon Musk. He is holding his right arm out in a gesture eerily similar to a Nazi salute. /End ID]
source link
The link includes a video and if you think this is just a photo taken at the right moment to make it seem like a Nazi salute I am sorry to report that the video makes it worse. My heart goes out to all Americans that they have now a President that is friends with and has appointed to a government position someone who does the Nazi salute at his inauguration.
if you don’t remember anything else for the next 4 years, remember this: don’t be a fucking snitch.
Never posted before, but I was thinking a lot about the TikTok ban and I feel quite confident that I know at least part of the reason why the government is doing this.
Although it was designed to be mind-numbingly thoughtless as a platform (as are all social media platforms made for short-form media), it was quite literally the biggest way that a majority of people got political information. It made it easy to share information with a large amount of people who may not normally be able to (or want to/seek out) political information. This made it incredibly effective at sharing information, rallying people for causes, and keeping people informed about the shit going on in the USA.
It also made it easy to spread misinformation, but that’s another topic.
I find it very funny that this TikTok ban is being rushed so quickly at the start of Trump’s presidency. To destroy the source of information (which has gotten a lot more young people connected on social issues) would mean that that source of connection, information, and knowledge would basically disappear.
Trump has spoken a lot about his “first few days in presidency,” implying that he plans to do a lot very quickly. If the majority of young US citizens are losing their primary source of information just around that time, it’s going to change our response time. It’s going to change how we learn information. And, at least for the first little while until the majority of people settle into a new app, it’s going to mean that a lot of these people that once were able to stay informed with little effort are now going to have to go out of their way to find and read news sources that will report on the smaller things as well.
The USA is soul sucking. If it takes a ton of effort? People won’t do it.
And Trump has said that he will go after news sources as well, so finding anything reliable is going to be miserable for everyone.
So, that’s my theory. It’s going to disrupt the biggest source of news that young US citizens have, and it’s purposefully going to do this at the start of Trumps presidency.
I mean, it’s disappearing on the 19th, and he’s going into office on the 20th. Like… hey now.
literally and people keep forgetting that they DONT care. yeah sure “hehe haha so funny theyre wrong and we’re all women now!!” like they know that they’re medically and scientifically wrong but it doesnt matter when, with enough power, in legal and governmental standings they can force their ideology into the truth. so yeah, right now theyre wrong about the scientific backing to their claims but legally? in the government eyes? they do not care. they had enough power to make this into reality whos to say they wont continue to make it that way?
i mean we’re already seeing people’s government ids being reverted back to their AGAB. they do not care yall. theyre already having their way with how they want us to be seen legally and in the governments eyes. they dont want us to exist.
stop focusing on the wrong things and realize that this is just one step towards erasing and eradicating us. read inbetween the lines. dont fall for the propaganda.
my take on the "trump said there's only two genders at conception but gotcha!! we're all female at conception!!" and the "MAGA is so obsessed with trans women in backgrounds but what about trans men? gotcha!!!" responses to right wing transphobia/trans erasure is that they don't care. MAGAs don't give a fuck about understanding nonbinary/intersex/trans people they just want us gone
Oh no. MAGA is mad that the NYT shared the names of DOGE staffers. Don’t share this! Would be a shame
Impeachment
There are so many people celebrating the House of Representative’s impeachment of Donald Trump, without truly understanding what it means.
The House chose to make a political statement by impeaching him. Now what happens is that either the House holds the vote hostage and doesn’t send it to the Senate, or they do and the Senate votes to actually remove him from office.
Trump is still in office. This impeachment unfortunately is not the end, this is only the beginning.
My wish and dream is to have a loaf of bread and a drink of water for me and my family to live on.

Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

every single republican told us we were overreacting. trump swore he had nothing to do with project 2025 yet continues implementing details outlined in it. not a single person has the right to tell us we’re being dramatic anymore.
hope “cheaper eggs and gas” was worth it.
EDIT: i removed the “trump refused to swear on the bible” point because it was being taken as me being an offended christian. i’m not christian, im agnostic. the reason i included it in the first place is because he’s the first president in history to ever refuse to swear on ANYTHING. meanwhile his “conservative christian” followers had no issue with this, and decided to continue to scramble for excuses instead of admitting he may not be as religious as he claims he is. i figured taking that point out entirely is probably better than filling this with an explanation in the middle of the other important issues.
Hello everyone, I am an LGBTIQ human rights defender and an advocate for the refugees in south Sudan.
I fled from Uganda because of torture and persecution because of my sexual orientation, I went to Kenya where I had thought I'd find peace and acceptance, unfortunately it turns out to be a new home to torture, discrimination and hunger.
Later in 2023 when Kenya passed out anti homosexuality bill, this made me and my fellow LGBT refugees residing there very prone to their death sentence and death traps.
So I made the toughest choice of my life to flee to another country, which happened to be south Sudan. However there are hopes of being resettled to Canada, life comes with greater insecurities as the country is experiencing genocide.
There are also too much homophobic people, I hereby appeal to you well-wishers to support my journey of resilience by donating to our fundraiser.
Your donation not only supports my life but my entire group. Here food is expensive and I can't afford as I can't work due to genocide. There also basic needs that we need like sanitary pads for the lesbians and new tents as the rainy season as come and its accompanied by heavy storms .

Hello everyone am a LGBTQ 🌈 advocate from Uganda.
I fled my home country due to torture and persecution because of my sexual identity ,I went to Kenya where I thought I would find security and acceptance but it turned out that it was a nightmare and days of horrors again as there was too much homophobes and discrimination in Kenya still because of my sexual identity.
so later on in 2023 the government of Kenya passed an anti homosexuality bill which left me and my fellow lgbtq refugees at risk of facing possible death penalty and death traps.
So I made one of the toughest decision in my life in 2024 to flee to another country which happened to be South Sudan, so I am living in Gorom refugee camp here in hopes that I will be resettled to Canada. However I am rest assured of being resettled there are other challenges that come in because South Sudan is a country that is experiencing genocide so there is hyperinflation and prices of commodities and groceries are very high and an affordable since I cannot work because of discrimination of the highest degree due to my sexual identity.
And therefore appealing to well wishes or anyone with hearts or act of humanity kindly support me by donating to our fundraisers.
All funds donated will go to purchase our basic needs which are required in the day-to-day life like food medication and we also needed to buy new tents since it's rainy season and it comes with a lot of heavy storms and floods.
Whatever day that you have you can share with us it would really impact our lives

I have one crazy conspiracy theory that I 100% believe in, and it's it's that:
Russia created and spread most of those "flat earth" "lizard people" "harmful vaccines" "fluorite water" "5G" conspiracies (And hundreds of other "trust no one, everything's fake"-type conspiracies) through the sheer amount of bots that they have, on Facebook and other social media. I genuinely believe it's the Russian propaganda machine that started and fueled those "Flat Earth"- type conspiracies, either as an experiment to see how susceptible people are to propaganda, or as a means of making people not trust scientist or anyone around them and start arguing that "Maybe 2+2 isn't 4? Maybe we should question things like that?".
I genuinely,
in my heart of hearts,
believe,
that the "Flat Earth" theory started with two russian trolls betting on a bottle of vodka and a 500 rubles after one of them said:
"I could convince those bitches that the earth is flat if I wanted to!"
And the other said:
"Nah, Vasia. You're drunk. They may be stupid but not that stupid"
And the first said:
"You don't believe me? *hiccups* I'll show ya! I bet my whole next month's salary to you!"
That is my conspiracy theory. That it's Russia who mostly creates crazy conspiracy theories about world control, mind control and distrust... in order to control people, influence their minds and make them distrust everything.
Every time I hear about Trump "Making America Great Again", all I can think about is that quote about Putin "Lifting Russia from it's knees" where the joke goes:
~"Putin lifted Russia up from it's knees... just to put it on all fours"
Same vibe honestly. Cus I feel like Trump is doing something artistically similar with America, or at least taking inspiration.
