Gee what should we all call it when a president gets rid of an Executive Order that *de*segregated federal contracting?

President Trump just let more than 1,500 violent criminals loose on our streets.
On January 6, 2021, Daniel Rodriguez tased a police officer until he had a heart attack.
Watch the video below to see the January 6 rioters that Republican politicians are calling "patriots."

NEW: Judge CHUTKAN is now weighing in on Trump's mass dismissal of Jan. 6 cases, saying it "cannot whitewash the blood, feces, and terror that the mob left in its wake." www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Steven Cappuccio violently beat Officer Hodges while he was stuck in a door.
DJ Rodriguez attacked Officer Fanone and repeatedly shocked him in the neck with a taser.
David Dempsey stomped on an officer's head and beat them with a flagpole.
All pardoned by Trump. Disgraceful.

Trump pardons Silk Road founder of darkest Internet illegal marketplace in history. People used Bitcoin to buy hundreds of kilos of drugs: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/t...

A number of neo-Nazis were among the J6 rioters pardoned by President Trump tonight, including Anthime Gionet, the livestreamer known as "Baked Alaska, and Christian Secor, a former UCLA student who immediately called for the release of multiple racist killers he described as "political prisoners."

Tarrio was serving 22y for seditious conspiracy to overthrow the US government
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is being processed for release in anticipation of clemency from Trump, according to this lawyer, @nytimes.com reports. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...
Dr. King faced hatred, but he never accepted it - and we cannot either. As we face troubled times, we cannot surrender as we carry on his dream. 2/
The skies were dark today but our spirits were full of light as we celebrated the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther Ling Jr. this morning. 1/
The Trump administration might say they're just targeting criminals, but that's not true. We need to prepare for them to target the most vulnerable people (incl. seniors). My office will do everything we can to help protect people's rights & will share more information as we have it available. 3/
Second, if you’re approached by people who claim to be immigration enforcement, record everything you can. 2/
There are reports that Trump's immigration raids may target San Antonio. We know from history that mass deportation raids can lead to the arrest, detention, and deportation of even American citizens.
First, know your legal rights (in English and Spanish below). 1/
As this administration begins, I'm focused on great schools, affordable health care & a strong, fair economy that allows people to pursue their dreams.
I'll work with anyone to deliver for San Antonio — but I'll fight back hard against policies that hurt our city & the families who call it home. 3/
The Trump administration is gearing up to destroy birthright citizenship, gut the protections of the Affordable Care Act, and hand control of our government over to oligarchs who abuse and exploit American workers. 2/
President Trump began his second term today. He and the Republican majority are executing policies that would drastically alter American society. 1/

Another cynical move by @WBD meant to preserve their ability to get Trump’s approval for any merger while he’s President.
Many big company CEOs bowing to Trump fear retribution.
They fear he’ll strip away big federal contacts or use the DOJ to block mergers or sales by their corporations. 1/
Scoop: As Donald Trump gets ready to take power, CNN boss Mark Thompson has informed Jim Acosta that he would like to move his show to the graveyard hours.
Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/jim-acosta...
As South Texas faces freezing cold temperatures, the City of San Antonio is opening six overnight Warming Centers to provide folks with a safe and warm place to stay starting tonight at 6 PM. VIA will be providing free transportation. Locations and more info here: www.sa.gov/Directory/Ne...
