“In the name of our god, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now” – NBC News, Direct even from Washigton DC, January 21st, 2025. These are the words of Mariann Budde, who made a speech at Trump’s inauguration. Her words are strong and filled of emotions all the way through.
Indeed, US citizens and inhabitants are probably right to be scared by everything going on in their country if we look at the 26 executive orders Trump signed at his inauguration -based on radio Canada-.
The greatest example is, in my opinion, his executive order to remove the Citizenship and civil rights. We can already remember that that right is granted by the 14th amendment of the US constitution : “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Donald Trump is talking about removing something that is in the constitution since July 9th, 1868. The last time that right was questioned was in 1898, and the Supreme Court decided to go with the constitution.
The Citizenship and civil rights means that every child born in the US can and will have American nationality. At least it is the case if the president doesn’t go through. Yet, president Donald Trump would like that only children born by us citizen, or legal resident, or legal resident in the army could have the nationality.
According to Amnesty International, this executive order, with other about immigration, is leading to massive expulsions, the restauration of harsh border decisions, the end of some constitutional rights, and even more : targeted raids across the US. However, immigration represents nearly 2 million people between 2022 and 2023. According to Pew Research Center, around 4.4 million children born in the US are living with illegal immigrants parents in 2022. Among the adults born in the US, estimations are that 1.4 million of them have illegal immigrants parents.
An important question stays in mind : Is Donald Trump allowed to take such a decision ? Well, according to France Info, he could eventually remove the 14th amendment, but to do so, he would need to propose a new one, with 2/3 vote in the Senate, and ¾ States agreeing with that new one.
There are still so many other question if this is applied : would a child, already born in the US and that now has the nationality, but whose parents don’t qualify for Trump’s standards, be deported with his parents ? Well, TF1 is telling us it is very improbable, and that those cases would quickly be brought to the Supreme Court.
Thankfully, we know since Thursday, January 23rd 2025 that a judge in the federal court of Seattle blocked that executive order. He is supported by the Washington DA, Nick Brown, as we can see in the intervention relayed by TV5MONDE. He even says there that Trump’s decision was absurd, and that the constitution had been decided by the Supreme Court, and even reviewed by other president before the 45th and now 47th president.
Yet, as we can read in the article and the report about it from France 24, the president say that obviously, they will appeal the decision. It is a new battle about that executive order that starts now. 22 States were immediately against it the first time, like the state of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Hawaii, or even California. The battle will be complicated for the government, especially since federal judges are calling that order as “unconstitutional”.
The final decision is yet to be announced, but it seems very little probable that the US constitution will change, at least on this point. The 14th amendment will then probably stay, a very short reprieve for US residents as other executive orders are already in action, expulsing already hundreds of migrants at the South border.
Wait. So. I'm a history student, and right now, we're in modern history and talking about Christopher Columbus. Who wanted to go to India, by boat. How did he want to do that ?
Right. Travel around the Earth. Because Earth is round. And they knew that at the end of the XVth century.
Now. Explain to me, how the hell do people think the Earth is FLAT ??????
Like, If you believe that, I'm sorry dude, but you're dumber than an XVth century man (yes, many of them knew. I don't actually believe people thought the Earth was flat at that time. How did we end up thinking that again ? Like we knew it was round during Antiquity, through middle age -yeah, they didn't believe in heliocentrism, but the Earth was not flat- and now what ? I don't understand.)
I'm going to update once in a while, but I'm trying to do one to two rows everyday, and... Yeah, it's coming along!! (Don't mind all the threads pls, I don't wanna take care of it yet)
I started a cat blanket yesterday.... Already done 15 rows .... The hyperfocus is strong within me....
Just don't look at the back for the moment 😅
the rest is coming as soon as my phone accept to put the photos in
So... Yesterday my university -in France- was blocked by other people :
It's says : fuck Elon Musk (on the bench : death to Trump)
No need to translate that : we know it even here
Do a Luigi please
That's a french politique, and it's says fuck him
Once again : no need to translate
I'm gonna need to reblog it to add more, 'cause there's so much.
And I don't usually post this kind of things here but.... I went past that wall, went into the next building, and knew I had to go back. I find it really powerful. One of my friends said it was dirty and not well done. I don't agree.
Happy to report that the blanket is going well : it is longer than my forearm 🙃
I just saw the first picture I posted... Man, that grew fast actually

Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League : Let's talk about it
A follow up from that post
As I said yesterday, I did watch Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League. I have opinions !
Ok, seriously I find this second movie better than the first, but is it because I was crocheting ? We'll never know. But no mecha this time, only some kind of power ranger shit with batphoenix. btw, speaking of batphoenix, can someone explain this ??
WHY IS THERE A MOUTH ON RED HOOD'S HELMET ?!?
Oh, and Bruce's voice changed. I like it better this time tbh. More depth. All characters have. Except... Damian. Still a no for me.
Like the animation a bit better, it wasn't only CGI this time I think, and a lot of reference to the style of anime in the 80s/90s. That was nice.
And we got this :
Best Red Hood suit in my opinion. Love when they do it this way (we have both ways in the movie, just prefer that one).
Not a lot to complain this time, as I said, I find the movie better, except the villain is predictable (like come on ? Calling Batman "detective" ? There's only one person to do so !) but the story is coherent, and well done. So yeah, definitely go see that one. I feel like you don't really need the first one, they explain what happened a lot, but it can help. So yeah, that's it, no real rent from me.
(I'm actually thinking about reviewing more movies in the future, but maybe not alway DC... But probably a lot. Are people interested in a blog like that ???)
Don't you just love when your tattoo artist can't remember what you do in life ? Like come on! It's my third tattoo with him!
(I'm joking I love my tattoo artist, he's doing amazing work, but still 😂)
By the way I'm posting this as he's working on my tattoo, and my leg is ✨shaking✨ thankfully not the one he's working on
Mercury stained my soul the way only my bones can know...
Or my skin
(this was just after the tattoo was done in October... It's still gorgeous)
And I have another one of Mercury Act I album picture, but it's hard to take it behind my arm 😅
