Discussions on social media regarding Telangana's declaration of heatwave as a state-specific disaster and compensation often diverged into off-topic political and social debates. Frustration and distrust towards government decisions and policies, unrelated to the heatwave, dominated the conversation, leading to an incoherent collective opinion on the specific news topic.

Answer: So when Trump took office on January 20th, one of the first executive orders he made was the "Declaring A National Emergency At The Southern Border of the United States", which he declared:

"A national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States...I hereby declare that this national emergency requires use of the Armed Forces..."

Essentially, in the order, he directs the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a Joint Report to the President about whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 within 90 days.

Typically, the military cannot be used against US citizens ,even acting as police, due to the Posse Comitatus act of 1878. 

The insurrection act of 1807, however, gives the president emergency powers to use the military against citizens during times of civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion.

January 20 2025 + 90 days = April 20, 2025

Hands0L0

Answer: on his first day in office he signed an Executive Order requiring the Departments of Defense and  Homeland Security to report to him 90 days later as to whether he could invoke the Insurrection Act. As he has replaced the heads of both departments with followers, the presumption is they will answer “Yes,” and he will do so. April 20 is the 90th day after the order was signed, so he will likely invoke the Act on that day. That it is also Hitler’s birthday and that Hitler’s dictatorship began with the Enabling Act is merely a cosmic joke.

Question: will I still have to go to work if this happens?

Dollar_Bills

Answer:

Hard to ever genuinely predict what he'll do but this is based on [his own actions and words.](https://www.newsweek.com/insurrection-act-explained-trump-admin-deciding-whether-invoke-1807-law-2041626)

He's got his people working on a report to tell him whether he should declare martial law over the border, and that date is the deadline.

carrie_m730

Answer: one of Trump's executive orders back in January included giving 90 days for the secretary of Defense to compile a report of what measures are needed to secure the border, **including declaring illegal migration an invasion, as in the same thing that happens when a foreign army is entering your country**.


The deadline for that report is April 20th (coincidentally, because thats 90 days after the 1st day Trump could sign EOs) and the theory is that since the government is chockful of loyalists, the report will say exactly what Trump wants: illegal immigration is a big crisis and thus Trump can do whatever he wants to deal with it, including declaring a national crisis and mobilizing the army.

firebolt_wt

Answer: On Jan 20 he asked the department of defence if they think it's worth invoking the Insurrection Act because of what is going on at the border (which is just an excuse). They have 90 days to reply.

Jan 20 + 90 days = Apr 20. 

If you want to dig deeper, this is all part of Yarvin's playbook to dismantle America's democracy and slowly but surely build a network of city states ran like businesses (with little regards for their residents).

[This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpPTRcz1no) does a really good job at explaining and connecting the dots. 

Basically Trump is following almost step by step the guide from Yarvin (to implement the Butterfly Revolution). Just look how far along we are already:

**Step 1: Campaign on autocracy**

What it is: Frame the autocracy as getting rid of an inefficient and unworkable system

What was done:

Creation of Department Of Government Efficiency: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93qwn8p0l0o
US President-elect Donald Trump has picked Elon Musk for a role in government cost-cutting, as part of his drive to "dismantle" bureaucracy when he returns to the White House next year.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74mmj7p0keo

Many worry he will try to rule as an autocrat and undermine American democracy. His predecessor, Joe Biden, pointedly used his final Oval Office address to warn of a dangerous oligarchy of unaccountable billionaires forming around Trump that threatens the basic rights and freedoms of Americans.

**Step 2: Purge the bureaucracy**

What it is: RAGE - Retire All Government Employees - Then replace with a smaller number of loyalists

What was done: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ced961egp65o

Freeze on federal hiring
Schedule F to reclassify federal employees to make them easier to fire https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/20/trump-executive-order-schedule-f


Federal employees returning to the office (to encourage more of them to leave)


Offering incentives for federal workers to resign https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnvqe3le3z4o


Project 2025 Presidential Personnel Database is implemented to have an easy list of loyalists to pick from if you need to replace other officials (it is live and you can add your application now) https://www.project2025.org/personnel/


Presidential Administration Academy: a platform to educate the potential candidates to work for the admnistration to ensure proper alignment: https://www.project2025.org/training/presidential-administration-academy/


Fired justice department officials that were investigating him https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cjw461nelzdt



**Step 3: Ignore the courts**

What it is: the president should declare a state of emergency so the supreme court rulings would become merely advisory with no need to follow it/enforce it. The goal is to give more immunity to the president to solidify his autocracy

What was done:

Supreme court ruling that Trump has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2024/jul/01/supreme-court-decision-trump-immunity-ruling


Trump declared a national border emergency in immigration crackdown https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/20/trump-immigration-emergency-executive-order

Worth noting from the executive order above: 

&gt;(b)  Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report to the President about the conditions at the southern border of the United States and any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.


This could mean  implementing Marshall Law on April 20, or the Insurrection Act so you can deploy the military against citizens if needed.


**Step 4: Co-opt Congress**

What it is: The president should handpick candidates for every single seat based only on personal loyalty to him

What was done:

Picked Republicans as new members of the Congress, at least temporarily (but they don't say for how long), tipping over the power in his favour in the US House https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-turns-congress-cabinet-picks-whittling-away-slim-margins-2024-11-13/



**Step 5: Centralise police + powers**

What it is: leveraging the new state of emergency/immunity, the president should take direct control over all law enforcement agencies, federalise the national guard and effectively create a new national police force that absorbs local bodies

What was done: 

[Trump fired several military official - CQ Brown (Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff), Adm Lisa Franchetti (Chief of Naval Operations) and Gen Jim Slide (Vice Chief of Staff of Air Force)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyr2xvn4dpo)

 The Joint Chiefs of Staff is a group of senior military leaders that advises the President, Defense Secretary, Homeland Security Council, and the National Security Council on military matters. The chair is the nation's highest-ranking military officer and normally serves a term of four years, staggered to provide stability between presidential administrations.

Brown is being replaced by Dan Caine, a retired lieutenant general who is so unfit that his nomination legally requires a “national interest” waiver from the White House. He is also an investor in a cryptocurrency venture capital firm

[The Senate put Kash Patel as the Director of the FBI](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0rqpp52j5vo) - a far-right Qanon conspiracy theorist. 

[Trump appointed a right-wing Podcaster as deputy FBI Director](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwd2qrn1e2o)

It is worth noting that he did already gather the national guard back in 2020 for the George Floyd protest, threatening to use the Insurrection Act https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52893540


**Step 6: Shut down elite media and academic institutions**

What it is: To have true power you need to control the media and academia. True power is held by "the cathedral", it is the elite media and academic institutions that sets the bounds of acceptable politic discourse and distorts reality to conform more to your beliefs, Ministry of Truth style.

What was done:

Pause to all federal grants, loans and other assistance, including help for cancer research. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c77rdy6gzy5o


The freeze impacts the NIH so it basically halts all research in the US https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-hits-nih-devastating-freezes-meetings-travel-communications-and-hiring


He pledged to axe the Department of Education: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79zxzj90nno


and fired 50% of the DoE workforce in March: https://abcnews.go.com/US/department-education-faces-50-layoffs-after-closure-notice/story?id=119690524

before finally dismantling it on March 20 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c07zpmzxln1o


He said in his campaign (not actioned so far) he would "reclaim" universities to give them a massive overhaul to fire 'radical left accreditors' https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/18/trump-education-policies


They are considering buying TikTok https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgm81x2d3ko

It is now the White House that directly chooses which journalists should be in the press pool: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/26/white-house-journalists-trump

It used to be an independent body making sure to rotate who is in the pool to follow the president and report on what is happening. They are the reporters closest to Trump during interviews and they are the ones who can him questions and hold him accountable. So what happens now that he's the one handpicking them?

[They are closing down Voice Of America](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvge4l109r3o) ( launched in 1942 with a mandate to combat Nazi and Japanese propaganda)

**Step 7: Turn out your people**

What it is: Get your people to go out on the street and loudly proclaim their support any time anyone would try to stop you in any way.

What was done: Nothing recent, but we all remember Jan 6 so we know he has enough influence to pull something like this.

Another useful link: [Project 2025 tracker](https://www.project2025.observer)

--------

I know it all looks grim.

Don't lose hope, do your part, even the tiniest part: spread the word. Educate those you can, make sure more people know about this.

And remember: Fascism will ALWAYS lose. Their core values revolve around targeting a specific group and vilifying them and pinning all your problems on them. 


Inevitably, after the first target is out of the picture yet the problems remain, you will need a new target. Slowly but surely, the party will turn against their own and implode.

Acting early can make a difference in the amount of suffering while they are in power, but they will always be temporary.


[Never forget that.](https://dansinker.com/posts/2025-02-23-dale/) 

Don't wait until it gets worse. It takes a few minutes to copy paste my message for instance. It's ok if you don't have the time to dig deeper, people like me did the digging already and are compiling it in a digestible format. Spread it.

It's just as useful. Time spent digging and compiling is time we cannot use to spread the message efficiently. We need you.

Kumar Vishwas aaya tha hamare yahan 2 lakh Mein. Jhaant sa management kiya tha Humne phir bhi bande ne 2 hours bina kisi shikayat ke perform kiya coz he is from a govt college also so he knows the struggle. Log kaise bhi kahin bhi baithe ho it was clear that he wasn't here just to perform for money but he was genuinely enjoying the engagement from the audience.

plz_scratch_my_back

Similar stuff with Samay Raina also happened at IIT Kanpur. He backed out at last minute and students kept waiting.

Leading-Jacket6300

Just checked the post and Samay has commented a reply. Cannot post the pic but copying the text- 

_“In the communication message that was sent before locking the show it was made CLEAR that everyone needs to be seated and
NOBODY can be sitting on the grounds or in corridoors or on the parapets, ALL the entrances need to be MASKED. There was ZERO masking. 400-500 people extra showed up. There was no security measure that could stop more people from coming in. (Sending you the communication screenshot in DM) People were on the ground, in corridoors, everywhere! I have done 40-45 college shows this season successfully so there is no reason for me to cancel except management issues!
I'm not a fool to travel 3 hours and come back in another 3 hour flight and waste an entire day to do nothing.
Also we had preponed the show to 7 pm instead of 8pm and this was communicated to your team early in the morning so i could make it to my flight. I had a 2 am flight also booked as a backup! So your argument about malicious intent is incorrect. Ask you organisers!
The reason my team charged you full advance is because of opportunity cost! I could have done 3 other college shows instead of yours, I waited backstage in the car for an hour. Your team said they will fix everything, they will vacate the corridoors, they will get everyone seated on the chairs, they will close the entrances by masking, I have the videos, photos, everything. Only after an hour when they said it is not going to be possible we left!
The reason i took down stories is to not shit on your management more publically. Didn't want to involve more people than necessary. So stop crying about it and organise a better show next time! doing a show in lIT Delhi on 30th, please learn from them how to organise a show. Maybe had u studied harder u would be there!”_

Ok_nerdiness

I went to JU and we had some solid musical performances during my time. Can’t believe they pay ₹5+ lakh to a dude to tell mediocre jokes now. Yikes. Uni’s definitely lowered its standards 🥴

[deleted]

Why give so much bhaav to these influencers .. Was he expecting Z security from college students?  Who does he think he is. .

Extension-Gas2255

Even if he didn't perform, he should definitely return the money, after deducting his flight expenses if it was to be paid by college.

Sue him. There was a similar incident in my friend's college. The comedian backed out just a day before the fest because he had prior engagements. The college authorities of course took legal action against him and I think they won.

Spiritual_Thing_9401

People need to stop idolising assholes like samay raina!!! Absolutely shit he is..I wouldn’t watch him ever after this incident!

Foreign_Bluebird2832

The more days pass by, the more I understand Kareena's reaction to influencers  😌

Fine_Original_9604

Engineering college fests are always overcrowded. I have seen top artists perform in JU, IIEST, IITKGP fests and never bat a eye about extra crowd. Fests are ongoing for several days and hardly there will more more crowd in a stand up comedy show. People wait for the gala night/Mumbai night. These shows are mainly to fill other time slots. College students are not unruly like normal people in concerts. Experience of attending and managing multiple fests at KGP. Heck, even Sunder Pichai managed and encouraged double the expected numbers in his open theater with KGP students. 
One thing is for sure, he is not going to get any future gigs in any top engineering colleges from now on. Loss of huge huge money and fans for him.

CapitalFeisty2928

One thing: samay questioning Jadavpur unis credentials is so weird because it is among the top 5 unis in the country. Moreover, After top iits, people prefer JU and then move on to lesser known iits so that was such a problematic statement.

BigIndividual5369

Lesson learned - Nothing against Samay Raina but a comedian like him charging 5.5 lakhs as an opportunity cost of 40 mins or even 1 day tells the story of today's India where thousands of young graduatess don't even earn 10-15 lakhs a year.

The habit of Indians to create false celebrities and drive their demand is adding to the undeserving imbalance of wealth distribution.

Over-Professional303

Bahen ka pakoda shakal se he chor lagta hai

Noobita2803

People are paying samay raina 5.5 for a 40 min performance??? Why the hell?

Mr_Carson

PurpleReady

To everybody bringinh up KK's concert, I appreciate your thought but let me tell you this was an open air stage. So there was no chance of any suffocation. Also I was there and I ca vouch that the crowd was really disciplined and quiet until he decided to cancel.

siutadru

&gt;So stop crying about it and organise a better show next time! doing a show in lIT Delhi on 30th, please learn from them how to organise a show.

Samay already knows that IIT Delhi has organised everything perfectly. Maybe the 5.5 lakhs were not just for comedy but for astrology too.

Godsenttt

Would probably get down voted but I would like to play the devil's advocate here,
an hour ago he did a livestream where he addressed the incident. In short he was saying that it was the college management's mistake and he is happy to do a show if they call him again or if he is in Kolkata 

Link for the livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/Z4T-gvSvdTg?si=BSb8c1YuYHn5t8Zm

arnine1503

Students of this college please reply, and tell me if the management problems are true or not. Second, please watch samay's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4T-gvSvdTg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4T-gvSvdTg) video. Its his point of view. Do not be so hasty while calling someone chor, scammer etc It fucking damages the mental health if proven to be false.

College deserves to be scammed if they decided to pay that much or take those many tantrums for talentless Raina of all people.

wanderlustbones

University joh students ko scam karti rehti, aaj unke sath hee scam ho gaya. Bwahaha

Anyway, internet just making useless people famous. Never understood the hype around him. Timepass log kaha kaha se aa jate, celeb banne. 

Sare stand up comedians, aise hee chu hote hai kya real life mein? Ek bhi dhang ka hai ya nahi?

ekdumsaras

I think he did clarify it on the stream saying that they didn't have a mojo barricading for the crowd (Which they got in the end but it was apparently too late). Which happens to be a protocol for him. Furthermore, he claimed that he'll even do a show later on for free.

Honestly, I don't think it makes sense that he was in college and then just refused to go to the stage.

Still-LoveHerr

godeeep

Idk universities regional and  Local artists ko kyo nhi bula leti, they were much better than these mainstreamed artist amd they have less tantrum.

Yeah he's not really professional. Went to see him in Hyderabad and he came 40 minutes late. It was a one hour show and he only performed for 30 minutes.

BarelyHuman_1010

I think I’m living under a rock. Who is Samay Raina?

Cherrycuppie

Do these students even know that people in Mumbai pay 499 rupees to watch him? I was in the front row, in a room of 25-30 people in Khar. He isn't as big as a celebrity people think he is. Paying 4.5L along with so many demands is just atrocious

roysouradeep

As much as I hate this guy, he’s not “scammed” anyone as the headline says. He was promised a safe environment to perform in, which he did not get. And if he did everything as per his promises, and the organisers messed up he has to then he is owed 100% of the fee.

ProteinFirst

Fests are usually student drive  and student managed, student there are also learning and organising such huge events at such young age is not easy. Samay portrays to be extremely chill and if it wasn’t a grave mismanagement issue he could have performed even though it was for say 20 minutes, and the sheer audacity to throw shit at JU without having any credibility of your own🤣🤣

Brief-Silver-6526

If Mr samay raina (that cockless greedy bitch) have found that there was an improper management, he could have informed the same to our college too rather than racing away from the campus like a coward asshole.Also he had informed nothing about the "mojo Barricading" which he appeared to say in his stream. I am glad you idiot Samay raina if you have conveyed the message much before the event took place than this would not have taken place.  
also you have insulted our college in your stream by saying that "inte sare sundar sundar college jaise iit bc, bits bc........., matlab jin colleges se ye log reject hue hai na kalke bache un bacho ki kal gund fadhke aya hoon mein ". we also have the evident

LET me  educate you mr Samay Raina BITS or BITS pilani is a good college no doubt BUT JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY is a great college in every aspect. its like the fact "muh mein leke lund(BITS) mujhe chodna mat sikha(JU).

also our college is nothing less than the iits too there are more than 20 iits in our INDIA and majority of them are bellow us MR greedy SCAMAY RAINA.  
you can check the nirf ranking too (if you know what nirf ranking means for that you have to be educated well enough.)

[https://www.nirfindia.org/2023/EngineeringRanking.html](https://www.nirfindia.org/2023/EngineeringRanking.html)  
[https://www.nirfindia.org/2023/UniversityRanking.html](https://www.nirfindia.org/2023/UniversityRanking.html)

you have commited a huge mistake by insulting our college and from next time we will ensure that a scumbag like you would not able to roam around such a prestigious college like JU.

It is quite clear that there was mismanagement on the part of the college also. Children from different colleges have also gathered in our college and have gathered such a huge crowd. They should have created a pass system to ensure that only college students could get to the performance, which would have also satisfied the "seated audience" segment.

Or they might have organized it in a big auditorium like "Gandhi Bhawan" or "OAT" (which is in the main/Jadavpur campus) so that students from other colleges can also enjoy the performance.

We are making the wrong people perform and the wrong people famous. Sue him. Boycott him. Blacklist him

Mswowhow

Ew, why would a uni bring HIM to perform?

He mentioned that he'll do the next show for free because no way is the university going to invite him again if he DID refund the money.

I guess this is a clarification

You think 5.5 lakhs is big amount for him he earns more than this on one brand endorsement

Not gonna lie, the college deserves to get scammed if they took only word of mouth and didn't sign a contract with these "oho rape funNi" comedians, like really paying the entire thing in advance, how much more stupid can he get and why were they taking all of his demands on a whim, a lot of those demands were just shenanigans at that point, like Samay, you ain't gotta do all that, you aren't that important, you literally stream for a living

Liberals won't back down on this. Especially after bringing Carney on.

The only way we reverse this, and to save our hobby, industry and for many, lifeblood of our nation, is to absolutely vote these people out...

Let them know there is no political win in seizing people private property and the way of life of many Canadians.

There's over 2 million PAL holders. That is a significant voting block

No-Contribution-6150

That was fantastic too bad you didn’t mention that the Canadian Association of police chiefs pen’d an open letter after the handgun ban basically saying this doesn’t help us at all

After-Strategy1933

was this actually sent in or just posted on reddit

Unfair_Valuable_3816

Parliament already knows all of the stats you're citing and we all need to stop pretending the government of Canada doesn't know its own statistics.  The purpose of the gun bans is not and has never been to improve public safety or lower already miniscule gun crime statistics.

TKAPublishing

horce-force

I’ll add that the 2% isn’t even shootings, it’s like storage violations and stuff

iLoveClassicRock

Won't do anything.

This is an ideological fight, not a rational one and it has nothing to do with public safety. The people who want the bans simply don't want you to have any guns. They abhor the idea of "gun culture" and want to eliminate it. Groups like Poly have even expressed a desire to ban hunting, because they disapprove of the culture that goes with it and want it eliminated from Canada. They tried to go after airsoft and paintball as well. They backed down, but will go after them again when gun owners are out of the way. They disapprove of the culture around those activities and want to see it eliminated from society. 

It's a nice letter and you can send it, but fact and rational arguments won't make a dent against an ideology.

Anla-Shok-Na

I like the letter, but the liberals simply fucking hate us and don't give a shit

LowOnDairy

This is good and like others have said, this would be great as a 'letter to the editor' for newspapers too. 

Some advice for other's planning to write to their MPs or other political leaders: frame it in terms of what is important to them. With the context that the political winds are shifting, an election is coming up, the Liberals and Conservatives are now in a very tight race and Mark Carney is a very centrist leader who perhaps two decades ago would have been a perfect Progressive Conservative candidate before the Tories were swallowed by the reform party. This all means that policy change is on the agenda, sitting Liberal MPs seats are at risk unless they make some changes, and Liberal-hopeful MPs that want a seat need to offer centrist and center-right voters something to not vote Conservative and instead vote for them.

This is probably the single largest policy item that would be:  

1. easy to change 

2. actually be beneficial to change in this political environment (especially given the cost, hostility of our southern neighbour) 

3. be easy to just blame the previous policy on Trudeau (which they are already doing for a number of things). 

4. Give them access to a huge pool of centrist voters who feel like they have to choose based on this specific policy because it threatens so much of their personal property directly.

If you speak their language you're more likely to change minds.

Also: you don't need a stamp to send mail to an MP! It is free to send letters to an MP and I recommend actually sending mail if you can - they don't get as much actual mail and it is harder to ignore.

pownzar

They don't care.  The liberals rule on ideology before data or facts.

The tarrifs response shows they are capable of data driven response, and it makes the entire past decades governance all the more aggravating

BigoteMexicano

 Nice letter but useless and here is why. Government totally agree with you in terms you put here. Their goal to disarm citizens because armed citizens poses more threat to the government that armed gangs. What is more armed gangsters help government to put fear into citizens and citizens will lean towards government to protect them. The sum up, government wants to disarm people and will use any artificial reason to do so.

The government:

"Wow, I'm glad to hear that / sorry that happened to you"

I would only change 1 thing.  Use the word "firearm" instead of "gun."   It's less scary for the sensitive lieberals.

When will you people learn they don't care about the cost or the statistics, they don't want civilian gun ownership plain and simple

There is no reasoning with the Liberals. They hate you. They truly believe they are better than you and that they should control your life. 

The correct response is to hate them back and act accordingly.

I'm a collector of antiques, got my RPAL and was actually eying the old Enfield Revolvers and the Italian police issued Berettas before the ban. I figured the national freeze would only be a few months. I hate not being able to expand my collection for something I legally started doing, I enjoy the range.

I actually own a Norinco JW-14, and thought for a sec it could be on the list, but not yet. That piece of junk jams like it's nobody's business and the rear right actually needs to be cut out, it's a solid block with no sight. I'm the one who used to stock the shelves at Canadian Tire and I literally picked the box with that one in it. I checked the chamber and the distributor sent it with a freaking loaded bullet! The gm told me to get over it lol.

That's the only thing I'd part with on buyback, but then again it's junk with a neat story.

I  would mention:
Sask had bipartisan support - voted unanimously on the Saskatchewan firearms act. 

Make firearms regulation a provincial responsibility.
