Just when thought you had seen how devious Mark Zuckerberg could be, he takes his META platform and related AI applications to use by the military! interestingengineering.com/military/us-...

Eating their own! thehill.com/business/533...

Elon Musk fails again! He moves fast & breaks things but can't fix them. Faking it until he makes it only works if he can delivery on promises. He has lots of ideas, just can't deliver, like: Tesla auto drive, Space X Starship, Optimus robots and of course DOGE! SAD! futurism.com/spacex-faili...

While Trump leads us into the dark ages, China leaps ahead toward 100% renewable energy! This is something the US could have done 15-20 years ago, had we had the will power and put our future ahead of greed in the moment. www.ecoportal.net/en/asking-wo...

Is our military really going to follow his orders until the world is a burnt out husk? It's happening fast. Let's hope there are still courageous people in the military who believe in the Constitution! www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Here is why many of us suspected that Elon Musk was raiding federal agency data bases. They will be able to track posts here, Facebook, Instagram, X, etc. & know exactly who posted it, their political party, and put them on watch lists, cut benefits or arrest you. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

Yes, that's what's needed - to leave less time between launches. History certainly shows that SpaceX has suffered greatly from having too much time to solve problems! Elon, move fast and go home! We don't need your genius plans! We have other geniuses- we're good! www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/s...

SpaceX racks up another loss under the reliably bad leadership of Elon Musk. Like the debris left in his wake at DOGE and Tesla, his brash, immature & fuck-everything attitude has led to another disaster. Let's revoke his US citizenship & send him to El Salvador! spacenews.com/starship-bre...

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” He doesn’t care about fighting antisemitism. He’s using it as an opportunity to dismantle higher education and further his authoritarian agenda.

The ultimate authoritarian power. Divide the world into spheres of influence, Russia, China and the US take what each believes is rightfully their territory. Divide up the global pie, making a "Non-interference pact" Sounds like Putin, Xi and Trump's dream! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

The tariffs and disrespect that has been shown to our allies seems to be paying off. European airlines are rerouting flights that would have gone to major US cities to Mexico, Ca ada and South America. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!! www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Cartoons, memes and raging against what's happening is great but we need to take to the streets in a big way now to counter this total takeover of our government!!

Why remove Schumer from Senate Minority Leader? Because he made it smooth sailing for Republicans to move ahead on this gargantuan budget that eviscerates health and income safety nets for a $4 trillion tax cut giveaway to the most wealthy! REMOVE SCHUMER! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Welcome to North Korea. www.stripes.com/branches/arm...

NEVERMIND. The publication for the article I posted about Ron Wyden is a front for The "Oregon Right to Life Org."! I have to do my research. 🙄😟

Time for a new democratic senator in Oregon! thatoregonlife.com/2025/05/ron-...

As someone with a similar diagnosis to President Biden, I definitely feel for him, given all that he has already been through. People should stop wishing him a speedy recovery though. He will not recover, but there are some effective PCa treatments he can use to slow down its progression.

What we have done to wildlife and our environment is unforgivable. We pretend to be healthy while drinking from disposable plastic water bottles at the office, on runs & on hikes every day. Plastics companies will contnue to make them, as long as we will buy them! www.aol.com/birds-remote...

When Trump says he might do something that's illegal & laughs about it, he is dead serious. He intends to serve a third term. We know he will do anything to make it happen! We must be prepared to do whatever is needed to stop him from becoming president for life! www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

There's a surprise! www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

He wants to destroy every aspect of our civil rights and our economy so he can wrestle control of our country from us. He expects us to give up hope but we are not Russia, North Korea or Turkey. We know only freedom & we sill not go quietly into that good night! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/b...

Those who fought in the revolutionary war didn't know if they would prevail or see another day. Often it appeared all was lost but they continued after every loss and eventually won our freedom from the British crown. While we fight with words now, it should not be taken as a lack of commitment!

Trump's plans to prosecute his perceived enemies is not just about retribution. It's about sending a message to judges, journalists and anyone who might consider protesting his actions that he will come after you! American freedoms are not so easily extinguished! www.npr.org/2025/04/29/n...

Trump"s puppeteers at work orchestrating the deportation of non-American citizens. They have written a much broader definition of antisemitism for the AG. They will use this definition to prosecute & imprison American citizens who protest against Israeli actions. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

While interviewing him, is purely a political stunt, when will Comey learn to stop talking and stop expressing his opinions!! apnews.com/article/come... interviewed by the Secret Service over '86 47' social media post

Don't yet have the political muscle to have larger than life statues of you everywhere? No problem, just put your menacing likeness on a banner for a federal agency. Before you know it, your face will be everywhere with no permit or permission required! www.yahoo.com/news/deeply-...

In Europe, they can't give Tesla's back fast enough! electrek.co/2025/05/15/c...

Ironic that they blamed Biden for not getting all the Afghan interpreters to the US. Now, Trump is deporting the people we did manage to get out. Cruelty is the point. They want Americans to cow in their presence and capitulate before people are even in any danger. Resist, resist, resist!!

This has been an issue for decades. DOGE cuts, neglect by previous presidents & the continued degradation of the equipment has made this problem critical. Starlink is now likely to get the contract & screw it up like everything Musk has ever touched! Airport Chaos www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...

No title needed. It speaks for itself. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Middle Eastern terrorist or Neo-Nazi? I say he is terrorist! DEPORT HIM TO EL SALADOR!! images.app.goo.gl/41fkSrC5nXmh...

The truth of this leads to the eventual survival of the species and the attitude of Americans electing Trump AND republicans says this species might not make it unless there is a 180 degree correction in their thinking immediately!

America's thirst for cheap products has been filled by billionaires who have been building factories and buying all their products from China for decades. They provided funds & technology for China's massive military buildup. Myopic MAGA now decries it! www.discoursemagazine.com/p/american-b...
