I guess immigrant & work visas are officially “pay-to-play” now in #America 🇺🇸.
👉🏾 #Trump has authority to impose $100,000 fee on H-1B visas: judge https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/12/24/judge-trump-authority-fee-h1b-visas/87905814007/
With the launch of https://TrumpCard.gov (which costs $1,000,000 plus $15,000 processing fee) which appears to replace EB-1 & EB-2 visa holders, only the affluent will be able to afford these visas.

"Anti-White and anti-Black #discrimination are not like matter and antimatter; they don’t just cancel each other out. An #America where every job has racial preferences, and you have to look around for the jobs that favor your race instead of relying on individual merit and trusting the system, would clearly be a dystopia." https://open.substack.com/pub/noahpinion/p/america-has-to-feel-fair?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer

Friends, it's important we all take a step back from the daily chaos and the way the daily headlines make us feel hopeless. We need some context.
How can we possibly get out of this mess? -- I believe these two (relatively) short readings will be worth your time and may give you a new perspective.

Debating on whether I should watch Trump speak at 9 PM EST.
I really do not want to, but I suspect #America 🇺🇸 will be launching an invasion of #Venezuela 🇻🇪 (whose current leadership I despise) in the near future, so I probably should tune in.

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.

Behind closed doors in Washington, top advisers made a series of decisions that had devastating repercussions for the poorest country on earth. We went to South Sudan and found people who died as a result.

"The cuts would cost countless lives... #Trump officials were told repeatedly. The team of aides pressed on...
By the third week in February, they were on track to wipe out 90% of USAID’s work. Created in 1961 to foster global stability and help advance American interests... the small band of appointees had set in motion its destruction."

The Kremlin welcomed President Donald Trump's new national security strategy, saying it largely accorded with Russia's perceptions, the first time Moscow has so lavishly praised such a document from the United States. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/08/world/politics/russia-us-security-strategy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #russia #donaldtrump #russiaukrainewar #ukraine

Well done #America of #orangeturd #taco #tRump, you can be proud of your captured #democracy and calmly fade into ignominy.
This US administration doing its best to dig up European Fascism in a quest for allies.
@fj America created Fascism, which the Italians and Germans would then copy and build upon. Fascism didn't start in Europe. It started in America.
Even the creation of a Master Race which is iconic of Fascism, came directly from America into Europe. A great book that covers this is War Against The Weak by Edwin Black.

If you really want to protect children from pedophiles, don't waste your time blaming trans people. Focus instead on those who have been found, time after time, to be either abusing children or enabling/covering up abuse -- the "Christian" church.
It's not just a Catholic problem, it's happening in protestant churches, too.

"'Never spread the lie in the headline' should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories."
