Howdy, I'm Ali, but you can call me Cheshire. (He/him, 24) This is where you can find Tenta and Disiac, though this is my blog I post everything, so it's not dedicated to them. Anyway, ask me what you like, and about them.

I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn't be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren't big standouts for people to point to to make him "the XYZ president." it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.

Yes, you’re right, but the democrats did next to nothing to reverse the policies he introduced. In fact, they’re continuing the ones they said they’d stop, like the border wall. We will continue lurching into fascism is we don’t stand up and stop the establishment now. Republicans push us right, and democrats keep us there until the next republican pushes us a little further.

Executive Orders Revoked by President Biden’s Climate Executive Orders (PDF) This table lists all of the Trump-era executive orders (EOs) revoked by President Biden’s environmental and climate EOs analyzed in our Biden’s Week One: Mapping Ambitious Climate Action report. This table covers only those EOs issued by Former President Trump related to environmental, climate, and energy issues. It does not include Presidential Memoranda or other executive decision documents. The EOs are grouped according to subject matter.

PDF is 8 pages long and covers over 25 of Trump's executive orders that have been revoked.

In his first 100 days in office, Biden signed more than 60 executive actions, 24 of which are direct reversals of Trump’s policies. ... To date, 10 of his 12 actions on immigration are reversals of Trump’s policies.

On the other side: Trump wants to remove birthright citizenship.

To deter migrants, he has said he would end birthright citizenship, using an an executive order that would introduce a legally untested interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The order would prevent federal agencies from granting automatic citizenship to the children of people who are in the U.S. illegally. It would require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their children to be eligible for passports, Social Security numbers and other benefits.

Anyone claiming "they're both equally bad" or "it doesn't matter because Democrats don't fix anything" is stumping for Trump.

Dozens of Google employees began occupying company offices in New York City and Sunnyvale, California, on Tuesday in protest of the company’s $1.2 billion contract providing cloud computing services to the Israeli government. The sit-in, organized by the activist group No Tech for Apartheid, is happening at Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian’s office in Sunnyvale and the 10th floor commons of Google’s New York office. The sit-in will be accompanied by outdoor protests at Google offices in New York, Sunnyvale, San Francisco, and Seattle beginning at 2 pm ET and 11 am PT. Tuesday’s actions mark an escalation in a series of recent protests organized by tech workers who oppose their employer’s relationship with the Israeli government, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza. Just over a dozen people gathered outside Google’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale on Tuesday. Among those in New York was Google cloud software engineer Eddie Hatfield, who was fired days after disrupting Google Israel’s managing director at March’s Mind The Tech, a company-sponsored conference focused on the Israeli tech industry, in early March. Several hours into the sit-ins on Tuesday, Google security began to accuse the workers of “trespassing” and disrupting work, prompting several people to leave while others vowed to remain until they were forced out. The 2021 contract, known as Project Nimbus, involves Google and Amazon jointly providing cloud computing infrastructure and services across branches of the Israeli government. Last week, Time reported that Google’s work on Project Nimbus involves providing direct services to the Israel Defense Forces. No Tech for Apartheid is a coalition of tech workers and organizers with MPower Change and Jewish Voice for Peace, which are respectively Muslim- and Jewish-led peace-focused activist organizations. The coalition came together shortly after Project Nimbus was signed and its details became public in 2021.

Hey! I actually drew something for once. And colored it! I've been getting into DND lately and here's my first (actually consistent) character. He's a genie patron warlock named Razzak. He's a trader/smuggler by trade and always looking to make a sale. His genie patron pushes him to do more of his harder/worse jobs but he's not that opposed to them.
