    ...#Xi, #Netanyahu, #Orban, 👉 #Khamenei*👈 , #Kim, #Milei, #BinSalman (#MBS), and others are not only flirting with #totalitarianism, they are *living* it and developing it further (#Xi, #SteveBannon, #HeritageFoundation, and many others).

    The best example of this in written form is probably the #MAGA movement's #plan to seize power, #Project2025.

  2. @servelan not sure why everyone seems surprised that #OrangeFelon is screwing the #AmericanPeople, #NationalGuard, #Military, or #CivilServants ... That's what he does. That's how he ran and still runs his scams camouflaging as businesses. Usually around this time of his ruinous leadership, he would declare bankruptcy. Since the US government isn't a business he goes for full blown dictatorship instead.
    Let's not forget #TheUnAmericanVotersDidThis #BillionairesDidThis #HatersDidThis #EvangelicansDidThis...
    More and more Americans will soon see what the "Only I can fix it"-POTUS following the playbook of #Project2025 did when his administration destroyed the #NWS, #FEMA, #NHS, #DOJ, #IRS, #NPS, and #EPA.
    Their dirty deeds will not go unnoticed! It just will be 100-times harder to remove the regime than it was to prevent it.

  3. If you’re in the #albuquerque area and want to continue that #nokings energy, you can join an intersectional demonstration held each Tuesday at Lomas/4th street from 12-1pm. I’m going to be out there raising awareness of the GOP plan to sell #NPS and #publiclands (no-bid sales, even. If that doesn’t sound like a con to you…). #joinus !! #indivisible #abq #nmpol #uspol #Project2025

  4. When are #ICEProtests ‘illegal’ in #Texas? Here’s what state and federal laws say

    By Tiffani Jackson Updated June 12, 2025

    Excerpt: "What are your rights to protest on public or private property? Your rights are strongest in “traditional public forums,” like parks, sidewalks and streets, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. While you generally have the freedom to express yourself on other public land, like plazas outside government buildings, it’s important that your actions don’t block access or interfere with the building’s intended function.

    "On private property, the owner has the right to impose restrictions on speech. However, the government cannot limit your speech if you’re on your own property or have permission from the owner. It’s also important to remember that counter-protesters have the same rights to free expression, and police must treat both protesters and counter-protesters equally.

    "Is it legal to take photos or video protests, police or government buildings? You are legally allowed to photograph anything in plain view, including government buildings and law enforcement officers, when you’re in a public area.

    "On private property, however, the property owner may have their own rules about photography or video recording.

    "What is an ‘illegal protest’? Protesting is a fundamental right protected by the First Amendment, but not every demonstration is automatically legal. According to the Freedom Forum, a nonpartisan foundation dedicated to preserving the First Amendment, the following actions can cross the line and turn a peaceful protest into one that could get you arrested:

    - Violence or destruction of property – If a protest turns violent, involves #vandalism, or causes harm to people or property, it’s no longer protected under #FreeSpeech laws.

    - Trespassing on private property – Protests are generally allowed in public spaces, like sidewalks and parks. But if demonstrators enter private property without permission, they could face trespassing charges.

    - Blocking roads or public services – #Marching in the street without a permit or blocking traffic can make a protest illegal. Many cities require permits for demonstrations, especially those that could disrupt public order.

    " 'It can’t be about the content of the speech, because content and viewpoint are protected by the #First =Amendment,' TCU media law professor and First Amendment expert Daxton “Chip” Stewart said. 'It has to be about something else. A protest that #BlocksTraffic, for example, or that arises to violence.' Texas laws about protesting

    "According to the Texas Law Library, there are specific restrictions on where protests cannot take place.

    "For example, it’s illegal to protest within 1,000 feet of a funeral service from three hours before to three hours after the event, as this could disrupt the service. Likewise, protests at #CriticalInfrastructure sites, like oil pipelines or #construction areas, are heavily regulated, with severe penalties for trespassing or disrupting these facilities.

    "Additionally, blocking #highways, #sidewalks or any passageways that are accessible to the public — especially emergency routes—is prohibited, and doing so can lead to felony charges.

    "#Protests that turn disorderly or disrupt lawful meetings also fall under legal restrictions. Finally, any actions that involve violence or #loud, disruptive noise are subject to criminal penalties.

    "What are your rights if you protest on college campus? In 2019, Texas passed a law that made all common outdoor spaces on public university campuses 'traditional public forums.'

    "This means that anyone — whether you’re a student, staff member, or just someone from the community — can express themselves, whether that’s through protests or other demonstrations, as long as it’s lawful and doesn’t seriously disrupt the university’s operations."

  5. 1/2 US Protest Law Tracker - Updates to #Federal #Protest Laws introduced in 2025.

    Latest updates: Jun. 10, 2025 (US Federal)

    Providing for deportation of non-citizens who commit protest-related offenses

    Would cancel the visa of any individual convicted of protest-related crimes and provide for the individual’s deportation within 60 days. Under the bill, individuals convicted of any “crime (i) related to [their] conduct at and during the course of a protest; (ii) involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of Federal property; or (iii) involving the intentional obstruction of any highway, road, bridge, or tunnel” would be deportable. The bill requires that such individuals’ visas be “immediately” cancelled and the individuals removed from the US within 60 days. If enacted, a non-citizen convicted of even a nonviolent misdemeanor “related to” a protest, such as trespass or disorderly conduct, could face deportation. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in #LosAngeles as the impetus for his bill.
    (Full text of Bill: cotton.senate.gov/imo/media/do)
    Status: pending
    Introduced 10 Jun 2025.
    Issue(s): Traffic Interference

    Heightened penalties for "#riot" offenses

    Would amend the federal #AntiRioting law to raise the maximum penalty to ten years in prison, instead of five, for participating in or inciting a “riot,” or aiding or abetting someone to do so. The federal definition of “riot” is broad, requiring only a “public disturbance” where one individual in a group commits violence. Under the bill, someone who committed or abetted an “act of violence” during the commission of a “riot” offense would face a minimum one-year sentence, while an individual who assaulted a law enforcement officer would face a sentence of at least one year and up to life in prison. Federal law defines “act of violence” broadly to include using force against #property—or just attempting or threatening to use such force. As such, if enacted, the bill could result in steep criminal penalties for protesters who do not actually engage in violence or destructive conduct. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in Los Angeles as the impetus for his bill.

    HR 2272: Blocking #FinancialAid to students who commit a "riot"-related offense

    Would bar federal financial assistance and loan forgiveness for any student convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” The bar would apply to students convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would bar financial aid and #LoanForgiveness for students convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also bar financial aid and loan forgiveness to students convicted of any offense related to “#organizing, #promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a social media post to cheering on demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

    #HR2273: Providing for visa revocation and deportation of #noncitizens who commit a "riot"-related offense

    Would require the Secretary of State to revoke the visa of and make deportable a noncitizen #student, #scholar, #teacher, or #specialist convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” Under the bill, individuals in the US on an F-1, J-1, or M-1 visa would have their visas revoked and would be deportable if they were convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would provide for the deportation of foreign students, scholars, and others convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also provide for their deportation if convicted of any offense related to “organizing, promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a #SocialMediaPost to cheering on #demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

    #S1017: New federal criminal penalties for protests near #pipelines

    Would create a new federal #felony offense that could apply to protests of planned or operational pipelines. The bill would broadly criminalize under federal law “knowingly and willfully” “#vandalizing, tampering with, disrupting the operation or construction of, or preventing the operation or construction of” a gas pipeline. A range of peaceful activities could be deemed “disrupting… the construction of” a pipeline, from a rally that obstructs a road used by construction equipment, to a #lawsuit challenging a pipeline’s #permit or# zoning approval. The bill does not define “disrupt,” such that even a brief delay would seemingly be covered. Further, the underlying law provides that any "attempt" or "conspiracy" to commit the offense would be punished the same as actual commission. As such, individuals as well as organizations that engage in the planning or facilitation of a protest that is deemed to “disrupt” pipeline construction could be covered. The offense would be punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for an individual, or $500,000 for an organization.

  8. President #Biden rescinded the order after he took office, but after taking office again in Jan, #Trump signed a new EO reinstating & renaming it.

    Trump & his allies laid the groundwork for a new admin stocked w/ #loyalists. #ScheduleF was a significant part of that plan.

    Many of the Trump allies who pushed for Schedule F now have key roles in the admin, including Dpty Chief of Staff #StephenMiller & #OMB Dir #RussVought.

    #Maine groups march against #Trump administration ahead of Inauguration Day

    PORTLAND, Maine — "Maine-based groups took to the streets of Portland Saturday to protest the incoming Trump administration ahead of #InaugurationDay.

    "#ThePeoplesMarch was hosted as a response to #Project2025, the far-right political roadmap that has been linked regularly to Donald Trump.

    "'All people from all sides of the aisle, including Republicans and Democrats, have the duty to flag that #fascist policies are antidemocratic,' said march organizer Dania Bowie."

  12. Some dedicated folks in #AugustaMaine showed up for the #50501Movement protest today -- despite the original organizers backing out because of threats from "bad actors". Kudos to those hardy souls who showed up anyways! (And who are there until 8pm tonight)

    #AntiTrump protest draws hundreds to #Maine State House Wednesday

    "I went to bed and woke up in a different country," said one protester.

    Anti-Trump protest in Augusta still on despite confusion

    Two organizers dropped out, but the event, part of a nationwide day of protest, is still set for noon at the State House.

    "A protest against President Donald Trump scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the State House is expected to go on, despite its two official organizers canceling because of “bad actors looking to spread hate, misinformation, and turmoil.”

    "Protests are expected the same day at state capitals across the country in response to orders made by President Trump in his first two weeks of his second term, as well as #Project2025, a playbook by the conservative #HeritageFoundation for changing American government and society whose contributors have been hired throughout the Trump administration.

    "The protest is scheduled between noon-8 p.m.

    "#KennebecCountyDemocrats and a group called the #WomensMarchAugusta, Maine, both took out permits for the protest and were set to act as co-sponsors.

    "However, on Tuesday both groups rescinded their official involvement in the event 'out of an abundance of caution.'

    "'The event planned for tomorrow has been infiltrated by bad actors looking to spread hate, misinformation, and turmoil,' the group said in a post on its Facebook page.

    “'We have pulled our permit with the Capitol Police and any one who shows up will be considered on their own. People should know we expect bad actors to show up to cause havoc please be vigilant and careful if you do decide to go anyway,' said the post.

    "However, another community member has since secured a permit, so the protest is still on."

  13. #HouseGOP Working to Push Through Bill That Would Let #Trump Shut Down #Nonprofits

    #DemocracyNow, November 18, 2024

    "On Capitol Hill, House #Republicans [and some #Democrats] are attempting once again to ram through #HR9495, a bill that would allow Trump and future presidents to effectively shut down nonprofits by labeling them a '#terrorist-supporting organization.' The measure could target #HumanitarianAid groups, #news outlets, #schools and countless #CivilSociety organizations. #Congress failed to fast-track the bill last week, falling short of a required two-thirds majority despite dozens of Democrats voting in favor along with Republicans. But the next vote, which could happen this week, would likely only require a simple majority.

    "A coalition of groups said in a statement, 'This bill was designed to #criminalize organizations and #activists who oppose the U.S.'s unconditional support of #Israel's #genocide of #Palestinians and the slaughter of #LebaneseCivilians.' Signatories to the statement included the Council on American-Islamic Relations and #AmericanMuslimsForPalestine. #Oxfam criticized the bill, saying Trump could use it to silence and censor critics, curb free speech and target political opponents."

  15. Stephen Wolfe grew up in Napa, California,
    and his father was an admirer of the right-wing pundit and erstwhile GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.

    After attending West Point and serving in the Army, Wolfe earned advanced degrees before leaving academia to
    “do the Wendell Berry thing”
    in North Carolina with his wife and four kids.

    Over the summer, Wolfe, 41, agreed to speak with me on the condition that I refer to him as “Dr. Wolfe”
    and call him an “expert on Christian nationalism.”

    The Dr. Wolfe I spoke with was a more muted version of the firebrand I’d watched online.

    He said his ideal version of America would be led by a Caesar figure.

    Gay marriage would be strictly prohibited.

    Women would not be allowed to vote
    —instead, men would vote for their households.

    When I brought up the bit from his book about heretics being killed, he grew annoyed.

    “I do think it’s permissible, in principle, for a state to suppress theological heresy,
    but that doesn’t mean that it’s prudent or proper,
    suitable in every circumstance or every tradition or way of life.”

    The Founding Fathers, he added, had encouraged religious liberty,
    so killing heretics would not be appropriate in the United States that we inhabit.

    We turned to remarks he had made at a recent conference convened by Brian Sauvé:
    “I think we need to reflect on this idea of Judeo-Christianity,
    or Judeo-Christian worldview,
    or Judeo-Christian whatever,
    and really eradicate that from our thinking.

    Because if we say that America is a
    Judeo-Christian country,
    then it can’t be a Christian country, okay?”

    What role, I asked him, would Jews play?

    After a deep sigh, he told me that they would be allowed to “exercise their religion freely.”

    We spoke a week before Vance’s RNC speech,
    and Wolfe’s remarks helped me understand what the TheoBros heard in Vance’s phrase about
    "America as a people".

    The founders, Wolfe noted, intended for their country to be “Anglo-Protestant with an American inflection.”

    America, he continued, is “a place of settlement and rootedness,
    but it’s an open ethnicity in which people can become one of us.”

    Which is to say that, like some others, Wolfe is not necessarily opposed to the idea of nonwhite people in America
    —as long as they agree to assimilate to the Anglo-Protestant dominant culture.

    In this telling, America is not a pluralistic society at all,
    but rather one in which there exists an uneasy truce between Christians and those they reluctantly tolerate.

    Toward the end of our conversation, I asked Wolfe what motivated him.

    “I want Christians to be more assertive and to recognize the Christian heritage of the American way of life,
    and to seek to restore that,” he said.

    “This is a Christian country, and we’ve got to work to restore it to what it once was"

    In his keynote address at Sauvé’s conference, titled “Why Multicultural Pluralism Fails and What to Build Instead,”
    Wolfe called the concept of America as a melting pot
    “an early 20th-century idea cooked up by a Jew in New York who despised the confident Anglo-Protestant establishment.”

    WASPs were the “distinct ethnicity” of America, he insisted,

    and America should only welcome those who aspired to assimilate.

    As he put it, “This is our homeland, and we welcome you on the condition of conformity.”

    Or, in the words of JD Vance, America “is a group of people.”

  16. William Wolfe served in the Trump administration
    both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense
    and as director of House affairs at the Department of State.

    He is also an alumnus of #Heritage #Action,
    a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation,
    the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025,
    whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.”

    A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists.

    The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors
    and Oklahoma Sen. #Dusty #Deevers as a co-author,
    called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”

    The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals.

    As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses,
    including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.”

    The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”

    Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage.
    There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says.

    “If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”

    William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media,
    but in mainstream conservative outlets,
    it was #Stephen #Wolfe
    (no relation to William)
    who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world.

    In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative,
    Wolfe paints America as a “#gynocracy” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders.
    (Sound familiar?)

    He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.”
