Trump's America: we police the names of the drinks in small coffee shops and prosecute the owner if we don't like them.

I really would love to know who told him ending every post with “thank you for your attention to this matter!” would make him look like LESS of a little bitch. Anyway, stupid Hitler is a fucking lunatic.

That’s not the lesson I took away from January 6.

Each time a protest is violently shut down, a university is defunded for political reasons, or a person is deported without a fair hearing, the foundation of our democracy cracks just a little bit more. We must all raise our voice in opposition before the damage is irreparable.

Besides its flights to the International Space Station and Starship program, SpaceX is deeply embedded in the Department of Defense. The feud between Elon Musk and President Trump could end all that.

But why defund schools? To curate failure — to say that public schools are broken and public school teachers are inept all in a push to privatize public schools. To dumb down the populace. To demonize a system that educates over 90% of kids in this state… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Time to file a class action lawsuit. These assholes aren’t looking for fraud. They’re building a surveillance state.

“They are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state. We can see that happening in real time. This is huge amounts of data on every single person in America that can and will be used in opaque & unaccountable ways—and it is terrifying.” Must watch interview with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social.

This is how Trump is going to give Enrique Tarrio and company a big payday, to thank them for helping to lead his attempted overthrow of the U.S. government. He'll tell the DOJ to settle, and they'll get lots of money to use to help overthrow the government again.

Since Musk outed the fact that the Epstein FBI files were not released because Trump is, of course, in them, I was recommended to share this book and podcast. Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury – The Podcast EPISODE 22: JEFFREY EPSTEIN AND DONALD TRUMP podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Reminder that Trump, who does not care about antisemitism, just announced, bc of that antisemitic attack, by an Egyptian, a travel ban of 12 countries none of which are Egypt.

Posting there is a problem because it validates Musk’s right-wing platform, but just being there is a problem too. You can’t marinate all day in a right-wing fever swamp and come away unaffected. You’re letting a fringe group warp your sense of “what normal people think.”
