US Secretary of State Rubio describes classifying the AfD as 'definitely right-wing extremist' as 'tyranny in secret' (or 'tyranny in disguise'), which seems downright absurd in view of US President Trump's realpolitik.

But if you think about it, maybe not, because what the U.S. government itself practices is not a 'tyranny in disguise', but simply a completely open tyranny: both domestically and internationally!

3M FOREIGN CHILDREN WILL BE DEAD.

3 weeks ago the Trump admin CXL all of its upcoming orders -everything beyond those old orders that were previously reinstated. The move reneged on an AGT to provide about 3M children with emergency paste💔 over approx the next year. The admin hasn't awarded sep contracts to shipping cos., leaving much of the food assured by the original reinstated contracts🚨stuck in the US.

Well, the secret police are ramping up; The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.

So, that’s fun!

OK well #CNN has the story, so I can talk about this now.

The administration has ordered all #refugee #resettlement work in the country to stop immediately. A refugee family that arrived on Thursday and was placed into a hotel until longer term housing could be identified would today, Saturday, be homeless.

I remind everyone that refugees are not here "illegally". They've gone through a years-long process of application and vetting that resulted in their admittance to this country. As part of that process, the US agrees to provide support and assistance when they first arrive—help that has now been prematurely terminated, in violation of our commitments.

Expect this cruel and illegal action to be challenged in court as early as Monday. Please support #HIAS or your local resettlement agency so they can continue their critically important work.
