Thank you. I think I threw up again, just reading the headlines you supplied. While I dearly want to look away and ostrich-out, the crucial information you compel us to see, read, talk about and respond to overpowers that urge. I'm a big fan of together we stand wholeness, but I admit I am sickened and daunted by the enormity of what has been thrown at us.

Thank You for the Break Down this morning ☕ David. Absolutely None of these orders helps the citizens of America, not one. Let's hope the ALCU and any other lawsuits prevail,we must fight back this Tyrant at every turn.💯👍

Thanks for your concise summary. One of the most concerning to me is the lavk of statistical data collection or external communication from any health organization. While I recognize that those agencies will be staffed with syncophants going forward, not allowing scientific work while Bird Flu is rampant and mutating, or Covid is again ramping, shows us that they are actively trying to harm the citizenry. I live in FL where Ladapo and DeSantis have already done that, and ut isn’t a comfortable place to be.

Excellent overview. Thanks very much.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions of this civil rights act forbids discrimination on the basis of sex, as well as, race in hiring, promoting, and firing. The Act prohibits discrimination in public accommodations and federally funded programs and strengthens the enforcement of voting rights and the desegregation of schools.

Yesterday, the Associated Press reported that  the Trump administration has directed that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on leave with plans that they be then laid off.

Does this means that any and all federal employees responsible for enforcing or implementing The Civil Rights Act of 1964 will be put on a fast track to be laid off?

This reinstates 1) the original affirmative action in favor of inferior white men over better-qualified women of every race and men of every race other than caucasian; 2) the "trail of tears" and smallpox-infected blankets given to Native Americans, among other atrocities; 3) establishes the professionally inept and worst case fraudulent agencies of the federal government; and 4) nullifies our national attempt at full democracy. Welcome to the booboisee as envisioned by H.L. Mencken.

Indeed, the GOP has succeeded in its long game.

That "environmental equity" abolition subjects Black women in particular to greater health hazards leading to death or permanent infirmity is utterly repulsive.

We are now the official Recist States of America. U.S.A. no longer exists.

der Fuhrer is consolidating his power over America. His America of Dishonesty, Cruelty, and Violence directed at American citizens is taking shape. He does NOT serve America, he serves himself! Everyone everywhere who is NOT okay with any of this need to rise up in any form or fashion you are able and stand up to this madness...........or America will soon look like a waste land of misery and destruction - except for people like him and his billionaire buddies - who will continue to live a life of luxury on the backs of the citizens (serfs, slaves) of America!!!!

Thank you for this disturbing summary of day one of the dictatorship. Is there any chance you’d run for governor against Ramaswamy?

I would venture to bet that he does not know, understand or have conviction for half of what he is signing. He is a narcissist with a third grade vocabulary and even lower comprehension. This is all Project 2025. We will oppose and never back down to him, the plutocrats or the Christofascists. But, I think the maga stooges will ultimately bring his demise with their incessant white trash need to fight because eventually they’ll realize that they’re not only 3rd on his agenda. They’re not even on his agenda. Hopefully, one among those village idiots is a better shot. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oops. I didn’t mean to say that last part out loud.
