This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

This is how authoritarians behave

The United States under Donald Trump now has a secret police force whose operations will often be in cooperation with local law enforcement, especially when it comes to suppressing political dissent. These are the words we’d be using if we witnessed this happening in another country.

Martial law is next. share.newsbreak.com/dgbz487t

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

In his first term, it was the myth of the savvy businessman. As he ran for his second, it was the myth of the "strong leader." But now, Trump’s entire persona is crumbling in real-time as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

The Department of Justice no longer represents the best interests of the American people. Under Bondi, it has been transformed into little more than a cog in the authoritarian machine doing Donald Trump’s bidding. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Excellent question.

We were spared the embarrassment.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

““Trump is the most brazenly corrupt national politician in modern times, and his openness about it is sui generis.” He is proud of his avarice, wearing it as a sign of success and savvy.“

Major media are afraid to tell us that Trump is in the process of setting up a dictatorship. They know it — everyone closely following the news knows it — but they fear that telling such a stark truth would seem “partisan” and make them a target. Their failure to sound the alarm endangers us all.

DOJ as we have known it, as a place where prosecutors from the AG on down do the right thing, for the right reason, in the right way, is over.

Trump pardoned this drug dealer and now he’s making him the head of prisons. No. Really 👇👇 www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

Did Musk get Rickrolled?

Bluto really is in charge....

Very Well Said…..😊💙

“There was no reason for celebration yesterday as this spectacle of sociopathy played out. But there is every reason to do whatever we can to ensure that people like this never again have access to the levers of power.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-trumpm...

The Incompetence Is Believable!

If only the New York Times had made this big of a deal in December 2022 when Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution. (That ran on Page 13. Yes, Page 13.)

Trump / Elon split is entertaining I guess, but the entire thing reflects a travesty for our democracy and society more generally. It reifies undermining the rule-of-law and the notion that individuals rather than predictable systems drive value, contracting, and democracy. Watch, but don't cheer.

I think Kristol has this right.

"To put it indelicately: Trump has Musk by the balls. Trump knows it. And now Musk knows it. And so Musk has begun to back down." www.thebulwark.com/p/how-democr...

I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.

What Paul Rieckhoff says.

We have an official ruling

There is no way he won all 7 swing states.

WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE BOTH SIDES HERE

" . . .one thing that isn’t appreciated nearly enough is that the Democrats handled in absolutely horrible situation last July basically flawlessly under the terrible circumstances. It wasn’t enough because we are a nation of incurious morons . . ." www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/06/jake...

Unsurprising: ICE is a hotbed of bullies who break the law & try to hide it. The Intercept investigated & found internal accusations about things like lying on official docs, etc. Although this focuses on one location, it's not hard to find info about this kind of crap all over the agency, ugh.

We are living in a time…😵‍💫 …where the richest man on the entire planet 🌎 is admitting… He BOUGHT the PRESIDENCY 😜

The entire gov. believes that NATO’s updated objectives are necessary & achievable—because the threat posed by Russia is real & extends beyond 🇺🇦. To ensure credible deterrence & protect every inch of NATO territory, we must significantly increase our defense spending. edition.cnn.com/2025/06/05/T...

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

Remind me again WHY the Dems didn't contest the election? Musk is ADMITTING that his involvement threw the election to Trump. #musk #trump #LAMF
