I went looking through my archive to references (ca. 1970-2000) in the US press to "white genocide" in Africa. With only one exception, every single one I could find appeared in neo-Nazi publications, like this one from December 1975. CB Baker was a protege of GL Rockwell and Willis Carto.

Here is a rundown of exactly how the GOP proposal would change every clean energy tax credit. While it looks like a bunch of nips and tucks, it's probably more akin to a full repeal. More analysis from us to come.

"a brief standoff Monday" at the Library of Congress 👇
It seems like capitol police denial of their involvement is *techically* true, per Politico. But DOJ officials did in fact show up at the Library of Congress office today, confirming Wired’s reporting: www.politico.com/live-updates...

As per this, the "90 days" framework is properly seen as a comms strategy rather than economic policy. It's intended to create room to moonwalk away from the original policy. So you never have to say you blinked. Just 90 days and by that time everyone forgets.
5/I do not believe that a snap back in 90 days is credible. But the policy framework creates continued uncertainty. What is the US policy on tariffs and China...business doesnt know. And that uncertainty will stifle investment/risk recession.

A grant in Vermont that helped train 50+ women and nonbinary people each year in construction and renewable energy was cut by DOGE, alongside two dozen others across the country.

And Trump expects us to believe he's going to grow the workforce and create jobs? Give me a break.
DOGE killed dozens of grants that supported women workers
Advocates say the cancellations will lock women out of construction and manufacturing jobs—and may violate the law.

Congress can solve this with legislation to make the Librarian of Congress a congressionally appointed position — it did the same in 2023 for the Architect of the Capitol.

I would love for the Mayor of Newark to serve a no knock warrant on that private prison for illegally holding people accused of no crimes.
Roll up with SWAT and arrest every private security ‘agent’ at that private prison and get every executive in cuffs for a perp walk.
Arrest ICE Thugs.
