Native Americans are being targeted by ICE agents.

Native. Americans. Y’know, the people who were here before all the white people.

Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

January 2025:

Donald Trump pardoned 1500 people who participated in the insurrection of January 6th, including those who violently assaulted and nearly killed police officers.

Donald Trump has declared that trans and non-binary people don’t exist.

Donald Trump is working towards firing everyone in the government who isn’t loyal to him.

Donald Trump has effectively fired everyone who he claims is an “illegal DEI hire” …whatever that means

Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization

Congress are trying to pass the Laken Riley Act to, effectively, round up every immigrant in the country, including LEGAL immigrants

Donald Trump removed caps on prescription drug prices.

Donald Trump wants to withhold federal aid to help combat the LA wildfires and help the thousands of people who have been displaced and lost their homes.

The Department of Justice has put a hold on all civil rights cases.

Donald Trump has cut off aid to Ukraine.

Laken Riley Act has been passed by Congress and is awaiting being signed into law by the President. Here’s the breakdown of the votes: House Senate

Donald Trump purged a dozen inspectors general from the federal government and intends to replace them all with people loyal to him.

Pete Hegseth has been confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Here’s the breakdown of how the Senate voted. Note, it was a 50-50 tie that JD Vance had to break.

Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Colombia after the Colombian government turned away two airplanes carrying migrants. Columbia has retaliated by imposing a 25% tariff of its own on US goods.

Donald Trump has also issued a travel ban for Colombian citizens and revoked visas from Colombian migrants coming to the US.

Donald Trump has now backed off the tariffs and other threats against Colombia. Note for future reference: this comes just hours after Trump made the threat in the first place and he and the Colombian president got into a big fight on social media.

Nearly 1,000 migrants were arrested mostly in Chicago on January 26th by ICE and ICE has been told to meet a quota of 75 migrant arrests every day.

Donald Trump rescinded an anti-discrimination executive order from Lyndon B. Johnson

Donald Trump signed an executive order banning trans people from serving in the military and also ordered that people who were discharged for refusing to get mandatory vaccines be reinstated.

Donald Trump has frozen all federal grants to institutions.

After pressure from state governments, activist groups, and the general public, the White House has rolled back some of the freezes on federal funding.

This.

Donald Trump is trying to fire all federal employees who don’t want to return to the office (work-from-home saves the federal government millions of taxpayer dollars in overhead). He also sent an email to federal employees saying that if they’re not loyal to him, they’ll be investigated.

Donald Trump has signed the Laken Riley Act into law.

Donald Trump has said he doesn’t think Palestinians should be allowed to return to Gaza but instead should be sent to Egypt and Jordan.

Also this.

Donald Trump signed an executive order that schools should no longer teach about racism and discrimination. And that schools should only teach history that is “patriotic” [x]

Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna wants to add Donald Trump’s face to Mount Rushmore. [x]

Trump’s Department of Education has called book bans a hoax. [x]

The Department of Justice has barred certain news outlets from receiving information from the Pentagon. [x]

The Trump administration has fired multiple FBI officials who investigated the January 6th insurrection. [x]

February 2025

I’ll keep adding to this list as new things come up and, again, please feel free to add anything I’ve missed. I know that in this world of constant news it’s easy to forget, so let’s give our future selves a little help!

as someone who has spent years studying WW2 & the holocaust, america needs to wake the fuck up.

"it's a roman salute" ?????? you're a fucking idiot and that ideology is the reason this country is falling apart from the inside out. if you're defending him in any way whatsoever, you're the issue. nothing about what he did is justifiable, regardless of how many random ass excuses you give him.

elon musk is deemed to be the smartest man in the united states and you have the nerve to think this was an accident? to think he wasn't 100% aware of his actions & the consequences that were sure to follow? he's famous enough to have had media training enough to have been told repeatedly not to make hand gestures that could resemble that in any way.

but yeah. it was an accident.

hitler rose to power gradually. everyone believes he stormed into office, everyone cheered, and he began committing genocide. this happens via piecemeal development, not immediate change. or, as quoted from the handmaid's tale, "nothing changes instantaneously. in a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it."

anybody in a position of power is aware of this. it's about time some of you accept it as well.

the nazi party was initially shunned by the german population. they were extremists, nobody wanted them to run the government in a million fucking years. but things happen. in this case, the treaty of versailles was put in order & they thereby had no choice but to turn to the man who was claiming that he'd "make germany great again". sound familiar? yeah.

he was a wonderful politician at first. he fixed the economy, gained respect from neighboring nations, and took over lots of lost land from WW1. but, as time went on, he just kept going. no other country dared to say shit to him for fear of starting another war. so they left him to continue stealing more and more land, to rise higher and higher in power, to kill more and more of his own citizens.

by the time people realized he was a dictator, it was too late. jewish people were being gassed, land was being stolen, and wars were being declared.

america, we have a huge sign flashing in our fucking faces.

to ignore something that goddamn inexcusable would be nothing short of foolish. if nothing is done by this, we're signing our own death warrants.

Target has helped so many save money since they want to kiss the ass of Trump. Costco is better anyway.

Here’s a real boycott list

P.s: obviously everyone can’t boycott everything but one also didn’t need that Tito’s Vodka or Wendy’s 😉

[zendayaupdates]

Quick reminder as we head into Trump’s first week in office. We are about to see an onslaught of executive actions designed to strip of us our rights. We’ve seen this before.

Many of them won’t be legal, many of them won’t take effect immediately, and some of them will be just plain nonsense. Trump alone can’t change the law (yet anyway- that’s Congress) and there is an official government process for enacting most executive actions that works slowly.*

There will be time to fight against these orders—either by stopping them entirely, weakening them, or at least slowing them down.

The purpose of doing so many terrible things at once is to scare us. Is to intimidate us to cede more ground than we need to. Don’t let them.

Stay engaged, stay angry, stay hopeful (or spiteful- me tbh), and—most importantly—stay strategic. Find an organization you trust, follow them, and take action when they ask you to.

(Side note- pick just a few issues to care deeply about and only follow a few organizations you trust. Don’t try to solve everything all the time or consume every piece of news. You WILL burn yourself out and that’s not helpful for anyone. Trust me, speaking from experience. Staying 15% engaged is better than 120% for three months and then 0%).

What we’re seeing right now is a backlash to decades of progress—a dying (and by extension dangerous I’m not gonna lie) breath of those in power desperate to maintain control. They wouldn’t be trying to squash us if there wasn’t something to squash.

TL;DR- there’s gonna be a lot of bad stuff in the news today. Don’t give into panic. There will be time to fight most of it. Stay engaged.

*Unfortunately, there will be some actions the President can control on his own and will take effect immediately. ICE Raids being one of them. Here’s a Know Your Rights factsheet. To learn more and stay informed on this issue, recommend following National Immigration Law Center, CASA, Immigrant Defense Project.

This is a nightmare.

A brief bullet-point list of the executive orders Trump signed yesterday. The tiktok thing is a distraction. If you are in the US, please read this. It will take less than 5 minutes. Gift article so no paywall

Some of the items on that list:

Freeze federal hiring except for military and immigration enforcement.

Bar asylum for people newly arriving at the southern border; declare migrant crossings at the southern border to be a national emergency; suspend the entire Refugee Admissions Program.

Terminate DEI initiatives across the federal government.

Recognize only two sexes; remove protections for transgender people in federal prisons.

Withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, the pact among almost all nations to fight climate change.

Declare a national energy emergency, a first in U.S. history, which could unlock new powers to suspend certain environmental rules or expedite permitting of certain mining projects.

Try to undo Biden’s ban on offshore drilling for 625 million acres of federal waters; undo Biden-era tailpipe pollution regulations and other energy-efficiency, fossil fuel, and pollution regulations.

Open the Alaska wilderness to more oil and gas drilling.

Eliminate environmental justice programs across the government, which are aimed at protecting poor communities from excess pollution.

Withdraw from the World Health Organization.

Ensure that states carrying out the death penalty have a “sufficient supply” of lethal injection drugs.

Create the Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk in charge.

[zendayaupdates]

Open your eyes.

Guys these are such scary times. How can people be proud to have a convicted felon as their president. The things he has done and changed in just two days are absolutely insane. All these changes will only praise the rich / billionaires and whoever works with trump. He’s going to ruin the environment and worse the climate crisis as if it wasn’t bad enough already. Lord protect us and our planet, these four years are going to be intense.

Also to anyone who doesn’t want to “give money” to these people please make sure to delete apps such as X who is owned by Elon Musk, mind u the gesture he has done on national television didn’t only scare the us citizens but the entire world. Absolutely disgusting. The past only repeats itself.

Delete any app that involves Meta. (Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads) Those are owned by people who work directly with Trump. I know these are the “go to” apps when u just want to chill on your phone, but we can’t allow these people to win and ruin our future bc the only thing they care about is money.

Amazon. The company owned by Jeff Bezos who suddenly switched up and mysteriously became friends with trump. Please do not order from Amazon anymore, I know it’s a very useful service, trust me I get packages from them almost every day, but please if there’s a certain product you would normally order on Amazon, try looking for it at your local store or get the product from their website.

We’re not letting the rich win and ruin our lives by making us poorer and suffer from their immature actions.

It’s going to be a sort of boycott, it should be a short thing as it’s going to impact their businesses. Please think about this, it’s your future and other people’s future as well.

Except it’s a lie. Tom never asked her dad’s permission. Kaz said so himself.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14259965/Zendaya-Tom-Holland-engagement-father-proposal.html

It really isn’t!

First off I’m not the only blog who’s been posting about this and I’m saying that because I’ve literally been attacked in my inbox for this topic, like are y’all okay?? Chill out. Please.

Anyway, moving on with the topic. Tom HAS asked her dad’s permission already a few months ago and this isn’t only coming from ‘TMZ’ since that seems to be such an issue, but many other famous pages too, you can easily look it up on google.

Also in regard to the other messages in my inbox, to all the people who keep telling me to stop spreading fake info/rumors that they are “not engaged yet”, please stop, you’re desperately seeking attention and have nothing better to do in ur life, funny how not even a few days ago I was warned about this happening very soon.

Continuing. Zendaya has NEVER worn a ring on her ring finger before this years Golden Globe and to add to that she went out for a Challengers interview with Luca Guadagnino where she was seen wearing her ring, the same exact one from the Golden Globes carpet !!! I’ve shared photos on my blog of that day and you can see it on her hand, plus if you watched the interviews, all she does the entire time is play with her ring and stare at it, she’s such a happy woman right now, let her be.

Y’all will never be satisfied until you see them post something about it on social media, which I pray will never happen if this is the reaction I’m getting/seeing as a blog/fanpage. Tom’s dad already said what happened and how things went so please stop it now. It’s getting so childish.

Her and Tom deserve the happy ending more than any other fake Hollywood couple. Now cut me some slack and relax. Get your proper sleep and I’m sure y’all’s lives will turn back to normal, as if this “impacted” your daily life in any way.

If this may not be enough I’ll leave a few links down below! Now breathe. Have a beautiful day.

[zendayaupdates]

my inbox looks insane rn. I’ll answer everyone as quickly as possible. also chill out thank you.

[zendayaupdates]

Zendaya & Tom Holland’s engagement is now confirmed by Tom’s father, Dominic Holland in a newly shared Patreon blog post:

“Tom, as you know by now was very incredibly well prepared. He had purchased a ring, he had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter. Tom had everything planned out. When, where, how, what to say, what to wear.”
