Elon Musk spent $291 million to put Trump in power. Now Trump is threatening and extorting countries to use to Elon Musk’s companies. This is what it looks like when a shamelessly corrupt oligarchy takes over a country and puts themselves above the law.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

As an absolutely out-of-control clinical narcissist Trump believes he deserves all titles, and is incapable of understanding respect or reverence. The more noise people make about this, the more controversy, the more convinced he will become that he SHOULD be Pope. Blow this up!

It looks like ICE is becoming Trump’s Gestapo. Nobody is safe. We must take the offensive. It will soon be too late. Even Trump-appointed judges are voicing alarm. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

This is exceptionally well reported: in case after case Trump has surrendered long time US interests to favor Russia and gained nothing in return. When you put it all together it a staggering surrender. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

Here are some relevant sources & facts proving the crime rate of U.S. citizens is higher vs undocumented immigrants & crime rate drops in immigrant populated areas. As a Native American I'm sick of most Right Wing White People placing fear in our country when they're the real terrorists of people.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

“I can…assure you that were this a Republican president…targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies."

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Every single “investment expert “ is emphasizing diversification to include investment in other stock markets. And that will extend to private markets and start ups. It’s possible to export your smartest people, hire overseas , and fund their business at a fraction of costs you face here. Insane

Revealing just how selectively this administration respects national sovereignty. With Canada and Greenland, Trump threatens invasion enthusiastically. With El Salvador, Trump sees sovereignty as sacrosanct.
