#Biden

27 posts18 participants0 posts today

Since taking office, #Trump has moved aggressively to revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of #immigrants who were allowed into the country under President #Biden.

Now, the admin is taking drastic steps to pressure some of those immigrants & others who had legal status to “self-deport” by effectively canceling the #SocialSecurity numbers they had lawfully obtained….

Donald Trump Is Doubling Down on All of Joe Biden’s Failures

https://jacobin.com/2025/04/trump-biden-inflation-wars-censorship/

> Wars abroad, the affordability crisis, inflation, censorship of political speech — Donald Trump successfully exploited discontent with Joe Biden’s administration on all these issues and more. Trump is now making all of them far worse.

It's been said before, but I'll beat the dead horse again:

(one of) Smilin' Joe #Biden's biggest mistakes was not performing a complete house-cleaning at #ICE (and really U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as a whole) to root out the #Racist #Bigots who were running the entire lawless enterprise

ICE has been a rogue "agency" pretty much operating as its own law enforcement agency and private government, making its own policies and procedures that have only one purpose:

Terrorize any and all non-#Caucasians within the United States and either force them to leave, or arrest, imprison, and deport them as slave labor

#MayDay Means #Resistance
A Call to Take Action on #May1st

This May Day, gather in defiance of tyranny and oppression. Gather to create communities based in solidarity and mutual aid. Gather with everyone who wants a better life. Gather to honor those who fought before us. Gather to show that another world is possible.

#CrimethInc, 2025-04-08

"As May Day 2025 approaches, we face an increasingly grim situation. Donald Trump and his lackeys are restructuring the state, redirecting even more resources towards repression and filling their pockets along the way. They are already deporting students on the basis of their political views and they have made it clear that they intend to escalate to deporting US citizens as well. All the while, the ecological damage, climate disasters, wars, and genocides that were already in progress are only intensifying.

"While some are laying low, hoping that the tide will turn, that is a terrible mistake. How far this nightmare can go will be determined by what people do now to build movements of resistance. The more time passes, the firmer #Trump’s grip on the institutions will be, and the better positioned he will be to expand and intensify repression. Even if Trump’s ill-thought-out policies alone suffice to turn the majority of the population against him, that will not answer the question of how to push him out of power—he has already shown that he will not leave office willingly. It also will not ensure that what comes after will be any better. Remember, we ended up in this situation because of the catastrophic reign of the #Biden administration.

There’s no way around it: we have to build powerful grassroots movements through which to defend each other and popularize a radical analysis of what we are up against.

"May Day offers a perfect occasion for this. For nearly a century and a half, anarchists and other revolutionaries have observed it as a day of celebration and resistance. Tapping into this longstanding tradition offers many reference points for what we can do right now.

"Wherever you are, you can do something for May Day. Better yet, organize a week of events, including education, mutual aid, arts and entertainment, and a march or demonstration."

I keep thinking about how during the campaign, "somebody" was telling #Biden:

"Don't say, "The economy isn't as bad as they're saying. People don't like being told their pain isn't real."

But all they did was give credence to #DonTheCon's false claim "the economy is a disaster!"

Now #PizzaTheHut is in office, is destroying the #economy, and trying to tell everyone, "It's not as bad as it looks. Just hang tight and give it time." 🤦‍♂️

Get ready for #BlackLung

#Trump set to sign #ExecutiveOrders to boost #US #coal

When burned, coal releases more of the main #GreenhouseGas carbon dioxide than any other #FossilFuel. It also emits criteria #pollutants that are blamed for #lung & #heart illnesses. Much of its use has declined on #regulations from #Democrats, including President Joe #Biden.

💯

And while markets are protected by tariffs, products tend to reduce in quality because of lack of competition.

So, Americans can expect any manufacturing growth to be shoddy products produced by machines or exploited immigrants/children. It won't be the union jobs that #Biden helped bring back. It will be the meatpacking, sweat shop jobs. And the cost will be only slightly less than the imports.
