Get angry at the fascist’s enablers. Get pissed off at every college, university, law firm, media company, tech billionaire, bank CEO, Republican elected official, government official, and private individual who caved to the fascist. They’re to blame. He couldn’t be a fascist without them.

You will be pleased to know that the FBI says they have no information on the Russia-backed TEXIT initiative which has been brewing for the last decade. Because we stopped doing real counterintelligence 50 years ago. www.sacurrent.com/news/to-texa...

Musk's role in government was always limited to 130 days as a 'special government employee.' He can obviously continue to do what he's been doing through designated proxies of various kinds — and there is zero reason to expect otherwise.

To the rest of the world: we are aware that the United States has been captured by insane sociopaths and apologize for this inconvenience. These policies are wildly unpopular and we will try to fix this in due course. In the meantime, carry on without us and accept our apologies.
