Just a thought: Instead of white Afrikaners from South Africa, how about we fly American kidnapping victims from El Salvador back first?

Fareed Zakaria: "#ElonMusk choosing, thru #DOGE, to cut #USAID is a case of the world's richest man being involved in the deaths of the world's worse [off] people."

Bill Gates: "If you show up and say in a few months you can cut $2 trillion out of a $7 trillion budget, you're not going to succeed... He's a genius in some domains but in global health, it hasn't been a focus."

#Trump has halted virtually all #refugee admissions for people fleeing #famine & #war from places like #Sudan & the Democratic Republic of #Congo. But he has created an expedited path into the country for #Afrikaners, a #white ethnic minority that created & led the brutal #apartheid regime in #SouthAfrica.

The refugee process often takes years. But only 3 months have passed from the time Trump signed an EO establishing refugee status for Afrikaners….

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

#Protests continue outside the concentration camp where they illegally abducted the mayor of Newark.

Gov. Abbott supports a bill in Texas that is being hyped as a "furries" bill.

When you read it, it's a draconian ban on a common form of children's play: dressing up.

But really, the goal here is to stoke anti-LGBTQ hysteria.

#Trading records examined by NYT show that a flurry of purchases of the $TRUMP token started the day before the coin’s backers disclosed the contest. Information had leaked about the upcoming promotion, allowing certain parties to make early bets that the market price was about to jump, the records suggest.

Why ICE grabs people off the streets:

If an officer knocks on your door:
Do not open the door.

ICE “warrants” are not signed by judges;
they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers

One of the weirdest digital things about moving to a new country has been all the App Store region locked apps that are totally essential for basic utilities, shopping, and digital ID.

So the only thing I have figured is making a second icloud in Australia and scheduling hours (because of the timer) to deregister and reregister my phone, install the apps in bulk, then switch back.
