Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Shit's about to pop off, but we don't know exactly what the orders are yet. I figure we could collect them in a single post and discuss as they come out.

"RESTORING THE DEATH PENALTY AND PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY"

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-the-death-penalty-and-protecting-public-safety/

This includes pursuing death penalties for anyone who kills a cop "regardless of other factors" and for any "illegal aliens" who commit a capital offense.

It also includes this terrible bit: "The Attorney General shall evaluate the places of imprisonment and conditions of confinement for each of the 37 murderers whose Federal death sentences were commuted by President Biden, and the Attorney General shall take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose."

Where they will punish people who were commuted by Biden by ensuring that if they can't give them the death penalty they can give them a life of torture.

Ah yes, the "in for a penny, in for a pound" law skeleton-guns-akimbo

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They're going to let the feds harass Leonard Peltier in his house arrest and make his life as close to the misery of actual prison as they can.

This is why Biden is fucking pathetic for commuting instead of pardoning him and others.

This makes no sense because Trump himself was a vaxxer and big believer in covid. He's doing this for the base and not because he believes it's a good thing.

"RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP"

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-freedom-of-speech-and-ending-federal-censorship/

This is largely the no-more moderating hate speech order, but this bit is pretty sweeping: "The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report."

The Attorney General's office is going to be busy as hell keeping up with all these wide-scale audits of Biden's regime that pretty much every order calls for. Altogether, these orders point to sweeping retaliation within the fed for the past four years, and an explicit threat to get in line for the next four. Not unexpected, of course.

Bit idea: we just spam "crakkker house" nonstop on White House social media, then sue the government when we get banned for comically large amounts of money.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You and I both know it only goes one way, KKKrackkkers are only allowed to say racist stuff and we will get banned without a chance of being able to sue

Cartels designated as terrorist organizations. Someone just asked if he might send special forces to Mexico, he said "stranger things have happened".

Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government

“Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.

Each agency and all Federal employees shall enforce laws governing sex-based rights, protections, opportunities, and accommodations to protect men and women as biologically distinct sexes.

The Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, shall implement changes to require that government-issued identification documents, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards, accurately reflect the holder’s sex

The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers

The Attorney General shall ensure that the Bureau of Prisons revises its policies concerning medical care to be consistent with this order, and shall ensure that no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex.

Agencies shall effectuate this policy by taking appropriate action to ensure that intimate spaces designated for women, girls, or females (or for men, boys, or males) are designated by sex and not identity.

agency-imposed requirements on federally funded entities, including contractors, to achieve the policy of this order.

I hope all the right wing shitheads feel good about this when they're dying because they can't afford healthcare or rent

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Bit idea: invasive tests on cis people to make sure we have the "immutable" characteristics to match our gender. It'd be really funny if this EO caused an explosion in the number of intersex people recognized by the government.

[–] omenmis@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

this has already happened w sports and was deeply traumatic for many intersex women involved
