It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

One of my favorite bits of argument in the Bell Curve is that it uses apartheid South Africa as a control for the idea that a history of slavery and racial discrimination might explain IQ testing disparities in the USA, because South Africa didn't have slavery.

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.
Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

Schiff: Why is this firing of FBI agents such an important piece of this whole effort by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their enablers? Because .. if they're going to raid the treasury... They don't want an FBI that's going to examine anything they're doing.

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

Just a reminder that there had been a peaceful transfer of power in the United States starting in 1801 up until 2021. Donald Trump was the first to not just eschew this practice but be incited an insurrection. He knew he lost, but lied to his armed followers. 1/

So Trump's new secretary of defense has white nationalist tattoos
In that same book, Hegseth talks of how he was one of 12 Nat'l Guard members Kept from Biden's inauguration due to extremism. He says it was due to his Jerusalem Cross tattoo, but I'm betting it was his tattoo of Deus Vult, the rallying cry of the 1st Crusade in 1099 - and White Supremacists today.
