The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all — too hard — and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers
"No one ever thought that this would happen. I thought that the administration was going after violent criminals, but these people are innocent, honest, hardworking people. These are human beings." www.inquirer.com/news/philade...
ICE raided his family’s North Philly car wash. Here is Jeffrey Lee’s account of what happened.
"They weren’t rude or anything, but they basically just told me 'We are here to take some illegals. If you don’t hear from us then don’t worry about it,'" said the car wash owner.

3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years

Elon's agenda isn't part of P25, which is the agenda of The Heritage Foundation and is based on Christian Nationalism (which is different than Christianity).
Elon doesn't care about Christian anything. He doesn't pretend to be one and never has. His agenda is entirely focused on his wealth/power.
