Reminder that when Trump was in office before a LOT of his orders got overturned or held up in lower courts for long enough that they became irrelevant. It also does not mean they WILL be enforced. Stand with your community where you can. The fight is not over. Do not obey in advance.

Last sentence above is the most important. Tyranny requires people to shut up and fall in line. Do not obey in advance.

Just want to share how Elon Musk has been deep in genocidal philosophies for a long time: he and Peter Thiel have voiced support for "longtermism" which involves ridiculous mathematical justifications for ignoring "short term" existential threats like climate change, nuclear war, poverty, etc. and focusing on preparing humanity for its inevitable future where we colonize space. to do this, it doesn't matter if 1 billion humans survive this moment or only 10 (and of course those 10 would be the tech oligarchs). so to them, working to prevent climate change is actually harming exponentially more human lives in this imagined transhumanist future for the sake of a fraction of a fraction of that number in the here and now. this philosophy practically situates the tech oligarchs as gods and the rest of humanity as a meaningless sacrifice to the machine that will grant them transhumanist immortality and the ability to colonize space. human suffering means nothing to him. the idea that he is not a fascist is ridiculous on all levels.
