Headline: Trump orders creation of US sovereign wealth fund, says it could buy TikTok

From the article: "WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok.

"If created, the sovereign wealth fund could place the U.S. alongside numerous other countries, particularly in the Middle East and Asia, that have launched similar funds as a way to make direct investments with government dollars."

White women are about to be the latest to learn that when you support fascists because "they'll go after other people and improve things for me", "other people" always shifts to include you eventually

(Tweet by Trump's new Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs)

White men who think you won't be next on the chopping block: I guarantee you have a lot more in common with the "other people" than you have with the people in power.

Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men."

“Three students from Columbia University filed a lawsuit on Monday morning against the school administration for their suspensions related to their pro-#Palestine activism on campus. Among the claims in the complaint, the students state that the university violated its own policies during the disciplinary process, that the university targeted the students for their views, and that it violated New York’s landlord tenant laws when it evicted the students from university housing.”

You have to wonder whether cutting off aid to South Africa has anything to do with the Butcher of Gaza being in the White House as we speak 🤔

Just because they speak your language and make much of your television, don't expect them to have too much in common with you. Many do but as with many large countries you should not expect it. Look at the evidence.

I don’t understand why so many ppl are surprised/disappointed by Trump’s response to the DC crash. I thought we’ve been knew?? Like. He’s shown us from day one that he lacks any empathy or humanity. If something doesn’t make him look better, he has no reason to engage with it. He’s a psychopathic narcissist, plain and simple. #trump #USPolitics #dcplanecrash

"The US has a long record, under much more gentlemanly presidents, of breaking international law, insulting international institutions and embarking on unilateral campaigns licensed by its superpower status."

My local brewpub, Kulshan Brewery, has this poster in their front window. More businesses need to take a stand, post similar messages publicly, and identify themselves as safe spaces in the resistance.

"Musk has become a kind of digital necromancer, like the white wizard Saruman, using his privileged position in the West to channel the dark autocracy of Sauron in his Kremlin towers to the east. (Perhaps, as in Tolkien’s epic, Musk deploys an all-seeing ‘Palantir’ courtesy of his tech ally and fellow South African Peter Thiel – whose surveillance company shares that name)."

Trump has done more to unify Canada against 'conservatives' than frankly any of us could, and my feeling this is deep, angry and lasting

Own a Tesla here? You are considered a true fuckhead, expect damage

I had this stanza rattling around my head after the book club horror show today. I had to look it up when I got home, so here's the whole poem. It's by the very excellent danez smith, from their 2020 collection Homies.

" ... & the trans girl making songs in her closet, spinning the dark
into a booming dress? she too is my president ... "

#USPolitics #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Poetry #Bookstodon #FuckTheFash
my president

today, i elect jonathan, eleven & alerady making roads out of water
young genius, blog writer, lil community activist, curls tight
as pinky swears, black as my nation     i trust the world in his tender
blooming hands, i trust him to tell us which rivers are safe to drink
& which hold fish like a promise

& i elect eve ewing, who i know would ms frizzle the county
into one big classroom where grandmas finger paint
the national budget & uncles stand around smoking blacks
plotting on stars for our escape     she could walk to the podium
at her inauguation & say, *the future is now*, & we'd all marvel
at the sun & moon looping the sky like a gif as the cars learned
to fly & our rskin grew bulletproof

& colin kaepernick is my president, who kneels on the air
bent toward a branch, throwing apples down to the children & vets

& rihanna is my president, walking out of global summits
with wineglass in hand, our taxes returned in gold
to dustour faces into coins

& my mama is my president, her grace stunts
on amazing, brown hands breaking brown bread over
mouths of the hungry until there are none unfed

& my grandma is my president & her cabinet is her cabinet
cause she knows how o trust what the pan knows
how the skillet wins the war

& the man i saw high kicking his way down the river?
he is my president

& the trans girl making songs in her closet, spinning the dark
into a booming dress?  she too is my president

& shonda rhimes is my president
                                                & nate marshall is my president

                                   & trina is my president

                  & the boys outside walgreens selling candy
                  for a possibly fictional basketball team are my presidents

          & the dude at the pizza spot who will give you a free slice
          if you are down to wait for him to finish the day's fourth prayer
         is my president

& my auntie, only a few months clean, but clean
she is my president

                             & my neighbor who holds the door open when my arms
                             are full of laundry is my president

& every head nod is my president

                 & every child singing summer with a red sweet tongue is my president

        & the birds

                                                       & the cooks

                & the single moms especially

                                           & the weed dealers

        & the teachers

                      & the meter made who lets you slide

        & the cab drivers who stop

                  & the nurse's swollen feet
        & the braider's exhausted hands
                               & the bartender
               & beyoncé
               & all her kids

                                       & the rabbi

               & the sad girls

                                & the leather daddy who always stops to say *good morning*

& the boy cryng on the train & the sudden abuela who rubs his back
& the uncle who offers him water & the drag queen who begins to hum

                              o my presidents!
                                 my presidents!
                                 my presidents!
                                 my presidents!

             show me to our nation
my only border is my body

                  i sing your names
                    sing your names
                            your names

                               my mighty anthem

Hey guys did you know hiring people with darker skin and funny accents causes plane crashes?

Just ask #trump cuz he is blaming the plane accident in #washingtondc on diversity hiring practices.

Not him gutting the FAA like a definition of the stupidest person I know.

You know what the last thing I would ever cut is?

The guy in charge of whether flying planes is perfectly safe or 100% deadly for everyone involved.

"mainstream" media has a very strong long-term persistent right-wing bias.

"mainstream" media is right-wing media, just a slightly less obnoxious version of it than Fox or Breitbart.
