I’ve put my life into wtf mode. I don’t even think it’s good to raise my daughter here anymore.

It’s now more of a question of do I stay to help my country, or do I leave to help my daughter?

Habeas corpus predates the USA, I guess it’s fitting that it will outlive it.

You wouldn’t be imprisoned. That would imply due process and habeas corpus.

Enemies of the regime will be disappeared.

I’m not trying to make you feel bad. I just think this is where we are at the moment and I have a hard time not thinking about it.

I thought the regime in the USA started a trade war there too.

Translation, workers should get in his way as much as possible.

He needs staff to do their jobs so he can accomplish his agenda. He can not do that if faced with disobedience. It’s not like he is capable of doing any staff members jobs.

I’m so glad my tax dollars are being spent to reduce the influence of gays and minorities on our military.

There surely isn’t a better use of time or funds of the us military this very moment.

The era of science and research has ended in the USA.

If you want to know about the state of the climate emergency, just look at what home insurance companies are doing.

Gentile, 31, was detained in April after returning from an international trip. Though he has held legal permanent residency for years, a 2020 misdemeanor conviction in California flagged him in the Department of Homeland Security’s system. When he appeared for a routine immigration appointment, he was arrested on the spot and later transferred to the Stewart facility in rural Georgia.

According to court documents, Gentile was convicted of infliction of injury and initially sentenced to five years of probation, later reduced to three. The case was closed in 2023. Still, ICE charged him with committing a “crime involving moral turpitude,” a designation that can lead to deportation for green card holders.

This is why due process is important.

What is it with him and gulfs?

You can also parboil and soak (overnight or over a few days in the fridge) dry chickpeas to get similar to canned chickpeas.

There are many, many theories on this. In March, Alex Nowrasteh and Ryan Bourne of the libertarian Cato Institute tried to organize them into “six theoretical models for understanding DOGE’s action to date”:

1. DOGE is seeking to purge progressive influence within the federal government.
2. DOGE is a scaled-up public version of Musk’s style of corporate restructuring applied to the federal government.
3. DOGE is the first step of a public relations campaign to build popular support for spending cuts.
4. DOGE is an essential component of a Trump administration legal challenge to expand the president’s power of impoundment.
5. DOGE provides political cover for Congress to be even more fiscally irresponsible.
6. DOGE is about self-interest and cronyism.
7. DOGE is building a surveillance state or, if you prefer, a less-siloed government.
