41 people on the made up "DOGE" team: ~36 white people ~2 Latinos ~2 South Asians ~1 Arab? 0 Black people I'm sure this was definitely meritocracy and definitely not overt white supremacy and nazism from a fascist who grew up in apartheid South Africa.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Know your immigration rights

You have guaranteed rights under the U.S. Constitution, regardless of your immigration status.

If law enforcement asks about your immigration status

Stay calm. Don’t run, argue or resist. You have the right to remain silent. Don’t lie or provide false documents. If asked for immigration papers, you must show them if you have them. If an officer asks to search you, you can say no.

If you are stopped by police, ICE, or Border Patrol

Stay calm. Don’t obstruct officers. You have the right to remain silent - say it out loud. You don’t have to consent to a search. If arrested, you have the right to a lawyer. ICE won’t provide one. Don’t answer questions about your immigration status. Memorize phone numbers of family and a lawyer.

If police or ICE come to your home

Do not open the door unless agents show a warrant signed by a judge. Ask them to slide the warrant under the door or show it through a window. You have the right to remain silent - say so out loud. If they force entry, don’t resist, but state: “I do not consent to this search.”

If you are detained or arrested

Ask for a lawyer immediately. Do not sign anything or answer questions without a lawyer. You have the right to call your family or a lawyer. If detained by ICE, you can request a list of free or low-cost legal services. Remember your immigration number (“A” number) and share it with family.
If you need a lawyer
Police must provide a lawyer if you’re arrested, but ICE does not. You have the right to private communication with a lawyer.
If you are stopped in transit
Car: you must show your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance. Bus/train: Border control can ask about immigration status, but you have the right to remain silent. Airports: Agents can ask about your status when entering or leaving the U.S. but legal residents are only required to confirm identity and residency.

If your rights are violated
Take note of badge numbers, patrol car details, and a…

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose. And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds. This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.

Despite Trump’s claims, DEI initiatives don’t uplift unqualified candidates – in fact, they make “sure no talent is left on the table,” says @profmmurray.bsky.social. And w/ Trump scapegoating the DC plane crash, “we’re right back where we have always been,” says @esglaude.bsky.social. #Velshi

‘We’re right back where we have always been’: Trump scapegoats DEI in DCA plane crash
President Trump’s politicization of the plane crash outside of Reagan National Airport isn’t just deeply offensive – it’s reckless endangerment of the American public. This rhetoric is part of a broader right-wing campaign to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the federal government and private sector. “It is a decidedly racist, sexist, and masculinist agenda,” says Eddie Glaude, Distinguished Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University. And it reinforces the false, racist claim that meritocracy and diversity cannot co-exist, says Melissa Murray. “When we didn't have DEI policies, when we prioritized the hiring of white men, we were effectively looking at only half of the talent pool.”

“So what do we do to stop Trump?” is a question I get dozens of times per day. I answer in detail here. The worst thing we can do is give up. Autocrats want capitulation through exhaustion and compliance through fear. Do not comply. Here’s how to take action: www.qasimrashid.com/p/magas-7-de...

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal. Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.
