How #Trump Used 10 #Emergency Declarations to Justify Hundreds of [otherwise #illegal] Actions

In his 7 months back in office, Trump has declared 9 #national emergencies, plus a “crime emergency” in #Washington. Those emergency declarations have been used to justify hundreds of actions—including #immigration measures, sweeping #tariffs & #energy #deregulation —that would typically require #congress approval or lengthy regulatory review….

Over the years, Texas legislators have declined to pass at least three bills that would create siren or alert systems, a tool that Kerr County officials tried to secure for years before the July 4 flooding.

Update from Ross: "My electric won't be shut off until tomorrow unless I can pay them $90 by midnight. I also owe my landlord $35 and I have no idea if he is going to still try to process an eviction or not since I did pay him most of what I owed."

If just 18 people donated $5 each, Ross could keep his power on!

#MutualAidRequest from Ross, a trans man who has been struggling with severe illness. He has been in and out of the hospital and is behind on rent and bills.

He needs $5 TODAY to be able to pay his rent.

He has a few more days to raise $270 more so his electricity doesn't get shut off.

❗ HELP TO FUND AN EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR TRANS PEOPLE FROM RUSSIA

UPDATE, URGENT: new costs needed for July, shelter is on brink of closure, more on ALT

Note: I don't represent anyone from Centre T, I'm just a random person who wants to share and help

Centre T has a shelter in Armenia for trans people that left Russia due to transphobic laws and political persecution, and is currently financially struggling. Because Russian people are mostly poor and can't afford donating, I'm asking everyone on fedi to help to cover as many months as possible.

Regular donations are a priority, but one-off are welcomed too

DONATE:https://buymeacoffee.com/centret

RAISED: €875 of €1,460

JULY 2025 FRIENDS OF THE SHELTER FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE CAMPAIGN The Center T Shelter in Yerevan is once again on the brink of closure. Unfortunately, after the Trump administration’s decision to shut down USAID programs, our organization lost a significant portion of its previous funding. This has made our work much more difficult and put large-scale projects — like the shelter in Armenia — at serious risk. Once again, we need your help. By the end of this month, we need to raise €1,460. This money will go toward rent, utility bills, food, and medicine for our residents. The situation has become so critical that, in an effort to save funds, we’ve had to cut the shelter team’s salaries this month. Your donations cover rent for a three-room apartment (shelter capacity is up to 6 people at a time), utilities, household chemicals, basic food and medicine for those who are unable to afford those costs. It also includes the support of the project by a psychologist and coordinator.
