    In the meantime while everyone is looking at Elon Donald is signing executive orders to

    • Grant top secret security clearances to White House staff without going through traditional vetting procedures.
    • Open the Alaska wilderness to more oil and gas drilling.
    • Eliminate environmental justice programs across the government, which are aimed at protecting poor communities from excess pollution.
    • Move to end birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, for the children of undocumented immigrants.
    • Declare migrant crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border to be a national emergency
    • Remove protections for transgender people in federal prisons.
    • Ensure that states carrying out the death penalty have a “sufficient supply” of lethal injection drugs.

      I’m not saying there will be mass deportation, indefinite detainment, and possibly executions of unwanted people, but they sure are lining up for it. For example ramping up execution of sexual predators, while at the same time labelling LGBT and drag as being predators, just for existing near children…

      Like if Elon is a nazi, then we may very well see a DOGE squad hunt down “un-American” people in the darkest timeline.

      Ensure that states carrying out the death penalty have a “sufficient supply” of lethal injection drugs.

      Some context: The EU has been sanctioning the US over this for decades now, first we stopped selling drugs they use to murder people to prisons, then we completely stopped exports, it has gotten so far as to stop exports of precursor chemicals. And it’s not like our pharma companies would mind they’re actively on the ball regarding this, they don’t want to be associated with it either.

      If you want to be barbarians at least have the decency to not paralyse people while they die in abject agony but use a guillotine. Heck, firing squad or hanging are more humane than that injection stuff: Literally torturing people to death while making sure they can’t flail and scream.
