Um, looks like #USGovt is looking to imprison more folks -- #shoplifters! Like, parents who can't afford food for their kids because of #TrumpsWar ! #Homeless folks, #veterans , #protestors -- they are all on the *list* too!
Congress Might Give ICE the Power to Go After Shoplifters
A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.
by Sam Biddle
August 7 2026, 7:17 a.m. ET"To counter the purported national scourge of 'organized retail crime,' a bill moving through Congress would deliver the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented policing powers, granting even more authority to what experts say is an already lawless ICE."

Um, so apparently, the #USGovt is admitting they are #Fascists?
"For example, per #Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, 'anti-fascists do not wait for a fascist threat to become violent before acting to shut it down, physically if necessary."
Gee, I'm pretty sure that's what my grandfather did during World War 2!

Hey, so, if anyone comes across useful information about #Solar, #Renewables, etc. on #USGovt websites, I would make the effort of archiving them on the #InternetArchive. They may not be up for much longer. (I just found some great information about Solar on farms, but I expect that to go away soon...)

Now, on a side note, I must share that when I worked at MIT in the legal department, all the files about #ColdFusion were snatched up by the #USGovt, which makes me think they were onto something... @aumalatj @grzgrz

Thousands of veterans face foreclosure after Trump's VA ends key mortgage program
from #NPR #NationalPublicRadio [USA]
May 1, 2025 5:00 AM ET
By Chris Arnold and Quil Lawrence"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.
The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."

I waited until the last minute to file that stupid BOIR form - I didn't want to give the govt any more personal information than absolutely necessary. The deadline was March 21, and I filed on the 20th. But ON MARCH 21, they decided to remove all reporting requirements for US based companies. (And US persons who have ownership in foreign companies.)
Anyway, if you didn't file, you are now officially off the hook. https://fincen.gov/boi

@Wyatt_H_Knott I agree. When I signed my enlistment papers, that formed a legally binding contract between the #USGovt and me. Part of that contract was #VA benefits and care. My VA benefits were paid for in blood, sweat and tears. It adds insult to injury to have loser #bonespurs taking away my benefits.

A #foreign -born #billionaire is running the #USGovt without check – the #Republicans in the #US #Senate are totally ok with this.

#MAGA #ForkINTheRoad directive to #Federal #employees states simply reply with word #RESIGN in header and you can #optout of your career #USGovt position with pay for more than 6 months?
#TVNews blithering & graphics packages have parroted language of #President & #OPM at face value but offered little detailed #analysis or #legalterms fine print...
The #DJT admin so-called #BuyOut that offers 7 months pay to #GOV workers that take it, actually has strings attached. In fact the terms are a "deferred resignation" that requires employees to do other tasks if so assigned!
Perhaps loading boxcars of detainees?

It costs ~$13,000/hour to fly a USAF C-17 Globemaster. Flight time from Ft Bliss to Bogota is ~6 hours, ergo a round trip costs ~$156,000 for 165 deportees or ~$950 per person. A cheap one-way from El Paso to Bogota is ~$400 and the #USGovt doesn't pay to fly the plane back. To fly 1 million deportees to Columbia will require 6000 flights or ~$945 million. Where's #egoMuskrat and #doge? (Someone check my math bc this is off the top of my head)

At a few points in my living history, the #USgovt tried to get #Redbone labeled as a terrorist group - because of their #music. #Censorship of #musicians - especially #BIPOC - who created resistance & activist songs were heavily censored in 70s - now.
-
#Europeans appreciated #Redbone a lot more than most Americans. The #USgovt #banned this #song from radio & TV airplays.
They sang about the #Indigenous #genocide by #USA ✊️❤️ -
I ain't f*cking happy about #whitewashing BS. I'm a #WarSurvivor & loathe #USgovt. I loathe all who never learned much from their own freaking violent, foreign interfering, #ProxyWars bringing, war profiteering, guns at ready to shoot innocent citizens & y'all try to tell the world you have a freaking #DEMOCRACY?
We ain't all #brainwashed #Yankees. We're fucking #PISSEDOFF AT USA & ALL THEIR FUCKING ENABLERS RIGHT NOW! We ain't buying the US BS. F*cking #accomplices to #GENOCIDE
