During President #DonaldTrump's inauguration on Ja

During President #DonaldTrump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, Tesla CEO #ElonMusk delivered a speech at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., celebrating Trump's return to office. During his address, Musk made a gesture that drew immediate attention online. He placed his right hand on his chest and extended it outward with the palm facing downward, a movement that some observers interpreted as a fascist salute. ⁠
⁠
The gesture sparked discussions on social media platforms, with some users expressing concern over its resemblance to historical fascist symbols. However, others defended #Musk, suggesting that the movement was intended as a heartfelt expression of gratitude toward the audience. ⁠
⁠
Musk has not publicly commented on the incident, leaving the interpretation of his gesture open to speculation.⁠

Kidnapping Inc. is a highly anticipated Haitian fi

Kidnapping Inc. is a highly anticipated Haitian film shot in #Haiti, featuring an all-Haitian cast of talented actors.
Scheduled for release on February 7, 2025, the film will be available in select theaters across the United States and Canada, with online streaming also available in the U.S.⁠ 🎞️🇭🇹
Directed by #BrunoMourral, Kidnapping Inc. marks Mourral's first feature film. The movie blends dark comedy and political thriller inspired by the growing kidnapping crisis in #Haiti. It follows two bumbling kidnappers who, through their incompetence, become entangled in a complex political conspiracy.⁠
The film highlights a standout #Haitian cast, including the revelatory Gessica Généus (known for Freda), the charismatic Jasmuel Andri, and Rolaphton Mercure. Their performances bring depth to this poignant "road movie" that balances gritty realism with dark humor, set against Haiti's chaotic landscape.
A fresh take on the crime genre, Kidnapping Inc. resonates deeply with Haitian culture, drawing praise for its kinetic storytelling. Vladan Petkovic of Cineuropa describes it as “a succession of ultra-kinetic set pieces, alternating with rapid dialogue segments that are often almost as entertaining.”
Also featuring legendary Haitian actors like Manfred Marcelin and Ashley Laraque, the film pays tribute to the older generation, bringing a wealth of experience to the screen alongside the new wave of talent.
Already making waves on the festival circuit, Kidnapping Inc. has won the audience gold medal for Best Quebec Film at the Fantasia International Film Festival and has been selected for Sundance, the Brussels Film Festival, and the prestigious FESPACO (often referred to as the "Cannes of Africa").⁠

Migrants waiting in #Mexico for entry into the #Un

Migrants waiting in #Mexico for entry into the #UnitedStates through the Biden administration’s #CBPOne app, including thousands of #Haitians, were left devastated Monday as their scheduled appointments were abruptly canceled upon President Trump’s return to office.
At precisely noon, coinciding with Trump’s swearing in CBP One went offline, according to an announcement from Customs and Border Protection. The shutdown marks one of Trump’s first actions in his aggressive immigration overhaul. Since its launch in January 2023, CBP One has facilitated the legal entry of over 900,000 migrants, with at least 43,000 crossing into the U.S. each month under the Biden administration.
Many Haitians fleeing economic turmoil, gang violence, and political instability had relied on the app as a safe and legal pathway into the U.S. Footage from a #WashingtonPost reporter in Juarez, Mexico, captured heartbreaking scenes of migrants in tears at the U.S. border gates after learning their appointments had been canceled.
Many had waited months for the opportunity to enter legally. Among them are thousands of Haitian families who have been stranded in Mexico, facing discrimination, unsafe conditions, and a lack of resources while seeking asylum. According to CBS News, an estimated 270,000 migrants had been waiting at the Mexican border, hoping to secure entry before Trump’s inauguration.
Trump’s immediate termination of CBP One is expected to face legal challenges. U.S. asylum laws still require migrants to be processed at official ports of entry, a function the app previously streamlined. During his inaugural address, #Trump declared the border crisis a “national emergency” and announced plans to deploy U.S. troops to the region to restore order. He also labeled the migrant gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as terrorist organizations, reinforcing his administration’s hardline stance on immigration. With CBP One now defunct, thousands of Haitian and other asylum seekers are left stranded, their future in jeopardy.

On January 20, 2025, #DonaldTrump was inaugurated $On January 20, 2025, #DonaldTrump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his return to the White House for a second, non-consecutive term. Due to inclement weather, the ceremony was held indoors at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, making it a memorable occasion. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath to Donald Trump. At the same time, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh swore in Vice President-elect JD Vance, officially ushering in the new administration. In his inaugural address, President Trump delivered the longest speech in modern history, laying out his administration’s priorities. He emphasized plans to combat illegal immigration, boost energy production, and revitalize American manufacturing. As the Trumps took office, former President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden left Washington, D.C., marking the end of their term. The inauguration also saw the attendance of former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, alongside their spouses. The ceremony included musical performances by Carrie Underwood and Lee Greenwood. The presence of several billionaire tech industry giants included Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX; Jeff Bezos, founder and executive chairman of Amazon; Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta; Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google; Tim Cook, CEO of Apple; and Shou Zi Chew, CEO of TikTok. President Trump outlined a series of ambitious policy directions for his second term in his inaugural address. Among them were plans to initiate mass deportations and repeal birthright citizenship, signaling a firm stance on immigration. Additionally, Trump declared a national energy emergency, which would increase fracking and oil drilling. He also revealed plans to create a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk. The department will focus on modernizing government operations. The administration intends to cut funding for schools that teach critical race theory or enforce vaccine mandates in education. On the foreign policy front, Trump announced a withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and terminated the CBP One border app. #lunionsuite #haitianamerican$

#ElonMusk made an unexpected appearance at Preside

#ElonMusk made an unexpected appearance at President-elect #DonaldTrump’s Victory Rally in #WashingtonDC., stepping onstage with his young son, X AE A-XII, as speculation grows over tensions between Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) counterpart.⁠
⁠
Trump welcomed the billionaire #Tesla and SpaceX CEO to the stage at the Capital One Arena, where #Musk, with a smile and a chuckle, assured the roaring crowd that the incoming administration would implement sweeping reforms to strengthen America for generations. ⁠
⁠
“We’re looking forward to making a lot of changes,” Musk told supporters. “This victory is the start, really. What matters going forward is to actually make significant changes, cement those changes, and set the foundation for America to be strong for… a century. For centuries. Forever.” As the audience erupted in cheers, Musk briefly hesitated before adding, “And make America great again!” ⁠
⁠
Musk’s remarks, though brief, signaled his growing role in Trump’s administration as the head of DOGE, a position expected to focus on streamlining government operations. Meanwhile, his son could be seen excitedly jumping up and down just off-camera, drawing amused reactions from the crowd. ⁠
⁠
During the rally, Trump praised Musk’s expertise, specifically referencing election technology. “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers,” Trump said. “And we ended up winning #Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide. So it was pretty good. Pretty good. So thank you to Elon.” ⁠
⁠
As Trump’s inauguration nears, Musk’s involvement in the administration continues to fuel curiosity about the tech mogul’s influence on government efficiency and policy. Source: @ABCLIve⁠

On the eve of his return to the White House, Presi

On the eve of his return to the White House, President-elect #DonaldTrump promised a blitz of executive actions on his first day in office, vowing to move with "historic speed and strength" in the hours following his swearing-in. ⁠
⁠
Addressing a raucous crowd of thousands at the Capital One Arena in #WashingtonDC., for a "Victory Rally," #Trump previewed his upcoming term while celebrating his November election win over the Democrats. ⁠
⁠
“Every radical and foolish executive order of the #Biden administration will be repealed within hours of when I take the oath of office,” Trump declared, highlighting his opposition to President Biden’s policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). He pledged to dismantle DEI mandates, insisting the country should instead operate on a “merit system.” ⁠
⁠
Rejecting the idea of gradually rolling out policy changes, Trump insisted on swift action. “No, we’re doing them tomorrow,” he said. “We’ll have plenty to sign in the future, don’t worry about it, it’s not going to stop.” ⁠
⁠
The Republican also promised to use his presidential powers to take unilateral action on a wide range of issues, including launching mass deportation operations, slashing environmental regulations, and ending diversity programs. ⁠
⁠
Additionally, he vowed to increase government transparency by reversing what he called the “overclassification of government documents.” As part of this effort, he promised to release records related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. ⁠
⁠
Trump’s sweeping pledges signaled an aggressive policy shift, setting the stage for a dramatic and controversial start to his second term.⁠

A federal appeals court delivered a pivotal ruling

A federal appeals court delivered a pivotal ruling on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) #immigration program on Friday, presenting a legal challenge but stopping short of fully dismantling the policy. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously, declaring #DACA unlawful but clarifying that the program should not be halted entirely nationwide. The decision modifies a previous ruling from a Texas federal judge, limiting its impact to #Texas only and ensuring that DACA remains active for recipients outside the state.⁠
⁠
The ruling introduces new uncertainty for nearly 500,000 DACA recipients across the U.S. However, it preserves the program’s overall structure, allowing the current recipients to maintain their status for now. The appeals court’s decision also upholds an injunction preventing a nationwide ban on new DACA applications, meaning that current participants can continue to renew their status while the legal battles persist.⁠
⁠
The appeals court stated that its decision would remain on hold "pending a further order of this court or the Supreme Court," creating additional uncertainty. With the incoming #Trump administration’s opposition to DACA, how they will address the ruling remains unclear.⁠
⁠
Since its inception in 2012, DACA has faced numerous legal challenges. Under President Biden, the program was strengthened through a federal rule-making process. However, it was subsequently challenged by Republican-led states who claim DACA imposes undue financial burdens through public services such as health care and education. The appeals court affirmed that DACA was similar to the executive action taken in 2012, but it contradicted federal immigration law, which they argued did not grant the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to establish such a program.⁠

🤭 🇭🇹The first Saturday Night Live of 2025

🤭 🇭🇹The first Saturday Night Live of 2025 kicked off with #DaveChappelle returning to Studio 8H for his fourth time hosting, delivering a nearly 17-minute monologue filled with sharp commentary. Among the many topics he tackled, Chappelle addressed former President Donald Trump’s 2024 remarks about Haitians in #Springfield, Ohio. ⁠
⁠
Chappelle, who resides near Springfield, recalled Trump’s inflammatory claim that #Haitians in the area were eating people’s dogs and cats. “Trump’s a wild guy,” Chappelle said. “I live one town over from #Springfield. That’s not what happened in Springfield at all.” ⁠
⁠
In response to Trump’s remarks, #Chappelle shared how he supported the Haitian community in his own way. “Every day, I’d drive over to Springfield and eat lunch at the Haitian restaurant,” he said. Then, with his signature comedic delivery, he added, “And to be honest with you, I don’t know what that meat was. But whatever it was, it fell right off the bone.” ⁠
⁠
Chappelle’s monologue, one of the longest in #SNL history, blended humor with sharp social commentary, highlighting the resilience of the Haitian community while aiming Trump’s rhetoric. His remarks quickly sparked discussions online, with many applauding him for shedding light on the baseless claim and standing with Springfield’s Haitian residents.⁠

#BREAKING - TikTok has restored service in the Uni

#BREAKING - TikTok has restored service in the United States just hours after going offline, crediting its return to President-elect #DonaldTrump’s intervention. ⁠
⁠
Users logging back into the app were greeted with a message: “Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!” This followed a brief shutdown late Saturday night, when Americans trying to access the platform saw a notice stating that a U.S. law had banned the app, temporarily making it unavailable. The app was also removed from the Apple and Google Play stores, along with ByteDance-owned Lemon8 and CapCut. ⁠
⁠
Early Sunday, Trump announced plans to issue an executive order after his inauguration on Monday to delay enforcement of the ban. Within hours, TikTok’s access and website began functioning again for U.S. users. ⁠
⁠
The decision is welcome news for TikTok’s 170 million American users and the millions of small businesses that rely on the platform. In a statement, TikTok credited #Trump for assuring service providers, enabling the app’s restoration. “We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States,” the company said. ⁠
⁠
In a Truth Social post, Trump confirmed his intention to extend the timeline before the ban takes effect to allow negotiations for a national security agreement. He also reassured TikTok’s partners that they would face no legal repercussions for keeping the app online ahead of his order. ⁠
⁠
Previously, Trump had proposed a 90-day extension to explore a deal that would transition TikTok’s ownership to a 50-50 joint venture between ByteDance and an American company. Despite supporting a TikTok ban during his first term, Trump has since changed course, recently posting: “SAVE TIKTOK!” ⁠
⁠
TikTok CEO Shou Chew is expected to attend Trump’s “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” in Washington, D.C., before being seated prominently at Monday’s inauguration. ⁠
⁠
While TikTok’s return was swift, its long-term presence in the U.S. remains uncertain as negotiations continue.⁠

Thousands of demonstrators, the majority of them w

Thousands of demonstrators, the majority of them women, gathered in #WashingtonDC on Saturday to protest President-elect #DonaldTrump’s upcoming inauguration. Advocates for women’s rights, racial justice, and other causes marched in opposition to policies they fear will undermine constitutional rights during Trump's second term.
Some protesters wore pink hats reminiscent of the massive demonstrations following Trump’s inauguration in 2017. The People’s March, previously known as the Women's March, has taken place annually since 2017. The march wound through downtown #Washington, passing the #WhiteHouse before heading toward the Lincoln Memorial along the National Mall. While turnout was lower than in 2017, organizers estimated 50,000 attendees, though police anticipated around 25,000. More than 300 similar demonstrations were planned across the country.
The protest united groups advocating for reproductive rights, civil rights, environmental protection, and other causes, all rallying against Trump’s return to power. After losing his 2020 reelection bid to Democrat #JoeBiden, Trump is set to take office on Monday and has pledged sweeping policy changes, including immigration crackdowns and restructuring parts of the federal government.
Saturday’s march highlighted various concerns, including immigration, democracy, climate change, and the ongoing war in Gaza. Some demonstrators also protested Trump’s stance on #Canada, with one sign declaring, "We are not your 51st state."
