Part of the generation that fought for Civil Rights, fought for the end of US imperialism. Fought for the rights of the individual. Fought for the equality of women. And watching people destroy what we fought for.

According to retired general interviewed by Kathie Phang. The slowdown of Starshield which is resulting in more successful attacks on Ukraine, is totally Musk acting independently. And he has done this before. We have a billionaire civilization making foreign policy decisions at his emotional whim.

In a Kathie Phang YouTube she drives home the point that the attempt to live stream an execution has caused damage throughout the world. It has made him a martyr and It justifies cruelty by our enemies. It is an embarrassment to our allies. Troops know this is wrong. The reputational damage is done!

Trump's family has pocketed $3 billion in cash and gifts since the 2024 election. Much of that came from crypto schemes as he deregulated the industry. That money could pay for a full year of SNAP benefits for 1.3 million people, or more than 600 million free school lunches. Second Gilded Age.

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

Zelensky said he had restricted attacks for three days while Russia continued striking Ukraine's energy infrastructure. "We're done," he told the Financial Times. Putin abide by an agreement Trump invented and then complained about it in the middle of attacks on pre-winter Ukraine? Not happening.

We can’t just wish for good news. Sometimes the truth is different. “Tech experts quickly explained that the “bots” that had been taken offline by the Yandex strike were actually web crawlers, which continually browse the internet in order to index web pages.” BOTS are still alive and well on AWS.

Elon Musk has suggested that the US gov’t may be behind restrictions on the ability of Ukraine's weapons to stay connected. An adviser to Volodymyr Zelensky said he believed the restrictions were not a coincidence DJT trying again to deflect from the Iran war Supporting Putin. Blame the victim.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

“We aspire to be a galactic civilization & harness all the energy in a galaxy.” But Musk’s recent statements raise a question about who, exactly, the “we” is “Propagating super intelligence to the stars is a great success condition for a biological bootloader.” A PURE MASTER RACE Sound familiar ?

Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia hit a power plant in Ukraine "immediately after" DJT announced what he called an energy ceasefire. "It's clear Putin doesn't read Truth Social," Russia has ramped up attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure every winter. DJT played, KGB Putin gets money for nothing

Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of striking a power plant in Kyiv after Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire". Because DJT just makes sh*t up a spews it out as if he can alter gravity. Putin didn’t agree to anything. Putin can stop the war any time. If Ukraine stops fighting they die.
