Trump signs order seeking to overhaul US elections, including requiring proof of citizenship

President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive action to overhaul elections in the U.S. Tuesday's order demands documentary proof of

So how much longer until he tries to get rid of voting entirely?

Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They're acting like they're still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn't deranged.

A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.

Don't walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I'm serious, go limp, be dead weight.

Putin's Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant "LIE" in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can't read above a 3rd grade level.

Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.

If you're gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you're actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.

Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. "DOESN'T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?" or "PUPPET PRESIDENT" or "EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE" or "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.

Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you're trying.

Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you're there!

How hard is this? There's probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

Social media is not private, emails are not private, internet searches are not private, your text messages are not private.

"I use a VPN!" Your ISP can see when you initially connect to a VPN. The VPN company will comply with a subpoena.

"My socials don't have my real name!" What about the email to register that social? What about your wifi provider? They provide the IP address from which you're frequently logging in. Don't they have your information?

Your cell carrier will comply with a subpoena.

You ISP will comply with a subpoena.

So will Google, Apple, Yahoo, Meta, Tumblr, Twitter, you name it. None of them will fight the government on behalf of a random person they don't care about.

This is why fighting for online privacy laws, real actual privacy laws, is so important. It's why using services with end-to-end encryption is so important. It's why if you don't want any chance of law enforcement to know about something, you cannot post about it online in any way.

The messages we recieved growing up about being very careful about what you post online wasn't fear mongering. They just picked a different villain.

'Down nearly 40 percent': Musk’s far-right MAGA politics are sinking Tesla

Billionaire Elon Musk, head of Tesla, SpaceX and X.com and leader of the Department of Government Accountability (DOGE), has become a very p

Billionaire Elon Musk, head of Tesla, SpaceX and X.com and leader of the Department of Government Accountability (DOGE), has become a very polarizing figure on both the left and the right.

Liberals and progressives are vehemently critical of the mass layoffs of federal government workers he is pushing via DOGE, and Never Trump conservatives deeply resent his influence on the Republican Party. Musk, anti-Trump conservatives and libertarians argue, is doing the GOP a major disservice by threatening to fund primary challenges against Republican lawmakers who offer even tepid criticism of President Donald Trump's policies.

Opposition to Musk is leading to boycotts of Tesla in both the U.S. and Europe. And according to Business Insider's Ana Altchek, that opposition is hurting Tesla's profits.

This past week has been an insane series of events. Any remaining pretense that we still had the freedom of speech is dead. It’s not like we ever had a good justice system but now we’re just letting blatantly biased AI (all AI is inherently biased, just as every human has an inherent bias) do the work for us and calling it evidence. This is sick and fucked up.

Trump delays tariffs on most goods from Mexico for a month

President Donald Trump is postponing the 25% tariffs on most goods from Mexico for a month after a conversation with that country’s presiden

And in a not-so-shocking turn of events, Trump has, once again, walked back one of his disastrous policy decisions. After the stock market took a tumble this week, erasing the gains made since the election, do you think Trump has finally learned that tariffs and trade wars are a bad idea? It's like our country is being run by a fucking toddler.
