Makes one wonder… If Musk gets his way encouraging everyone to have babies citing “BIGGEST CRISIS FOR MANKIND: DEPOPULATION”… With no access to abortions (PROJECT 2025)… Cutting social program (DOGE)… How can one then afford a child without having a billionaire dad? Maybe that’s their goal?

Trump and Musk are firing nuclear safety experts. They’re willing to put us all at risk to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Fire Elon Musk.

I’m encouraged seeing the Palestinian people protesting against their “leaders” who don’t give a rat’s ass about them. Not much different than the US government who doesn’t give a shit about anyone without a 1B net worth. We, the people of the world, need to continue this stand against tyranny!

“We are approaching Defcon 1 for our democracy and a lot of people in the media and the opposition leadership don’t seem to be communicating that to the American people. That is the biggest danger of the moment we’re in now: the normalisation of it.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

“He's a heartless self absorbed weenie” sums it up perfectly.
Post on X by a user named Ed Kwok, with the handle @kwok_xian. The post reads: "Musk seems actually surprised at the backlash against him after he brandished a chainsaw WHILE he laughed about cutting American jobs. He's a heartless self absorbed weenie." The user's profile picture shows a person wearing glasses.

In the late 1940s into the 1950s, the US sought to ideologically deport individuals, including those who had lived in the US for most of their lives. "Should Miss Liberty Be Deported?" is a pamphlet in 1950 calling on the public to help challenge these deportations. Ch. 5 in "Threat of Dissent" 🗃️

Trump and Musk both are AMAZING… at ruining companies. Trump managed to bring down CASINOS (how one can lose in that business, is beyond me) and now Musk with Tesla. MAGA or MABA (B=Bankrupt)?

Trump's call for the judge to be impeached came after his administration blatantly ignored one of the judge's orders.

Sadly, I am not sure what can be done here short of secession of the bluer states from the rest of the US. Under this regime (a.k.a. Project 2025), US citizens will become more indoctrinated, uneducated, poor and have more babies. The system will eventually fail. That’s what the “voters” want.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
