In a society that values money more than integrity -- this is what you get .... we need election reform so that the amount of money that can be raised and/or spent on a campaign is limited and equal among the candidates. Running for office was never meant to be a trillion-dollar industry. (1)
And, this whomever raises the most wins is b.s. We need this reform. But, we also need to change our mindset. People who have squeezed being millionaires or billionaires or trillionaires out of the lives of others should not be idealized. People who show compassion above greed should. (2)
More like Musk/thiel/Leonard Leo/cia/international crime syndicate. Good luck for anyone not a member to stop it. Pretty sure any elected or non elected official and/or journalists can be targeted.
If no law enforcement will be arresting Musk and his teenage mutant ninja terrorists after this weekend, then the government of the United States of America has been overthrown.
any mistakes are mine, but this is my assignment from HCR: to help inform other Americans that their financial data has been breached, Elon Musk has it illegally, Trump and Vance have broken the Constitution to permit Musk's seizure of protected information. Impeach immediately
Don't hate the player, hate the game. People who knew the art of stfu were already doing worse, he is just a loud newbie in the scene. I think some form of longterm governance needs to be put in place for handling game theory of power, preferably indirect democracy so populism doesn't corrupt it.
Even Bessent balked at more than "read only" access:
"One person familiar with the effort said Krause’s role will be subject to safeguards that would not allow any ability to make changes to the system and that no one outside Treasury would have access."
Hehe. Aww..you’re awesome! Better. I work in web and graphic design…white letters on a colorful background give maximum contrast if you end up making more graphics. Thank you for your efforts and care!
A fun free tool - https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel - and one I use all the time to check my colors and contrast in accessibility settings. Dunno if you use it, but it’s super fun. Use those colors! 😁
Hehe. Just a general guideline. I always have to consider people with low vision: the contrast is what helps them to see the message. Colors are always fun! I’m addicted. It’s the contrast that’s important.
Our democracy is in grave danger. Elon is a threat to our republic & to American lives. I feel so angry. People don't pay attention until the crisis comes & sits on our heads. https://youtu.be/yzK_9xwi0-I
and @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social is doing NOTHING! I never consented to having my #socialsecurity or #medicare information revealed to #elon #musk #elonmusk or any other non-governmental person. I've protected this information my entire life. #america is under attack. #maga its on you.
We have the wealthiest person acting as a self-appointed detective, illegally gaining access and unilaterally branding a government agency as criminal in the court of public opinion.

This is Disaster Capitalism in real-time = the practice of taking financial advantage of natural or man-made disasters and unstable social, political, or economic situations.
What are we going to do about it? The time for action is now. Words alone are weak during a time when a Nazi party is masquerading as the Republican party.
...and your point? Just WTAF is anyone going to do cuz, well, in this reality the president could call in the national guard it even the military. As we're in this dystopian reality someone who knows where he is and has some balls needs to make a citizens arrest. NOW! Someone step up!!
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE VACATIONING DEMOCRATS? WHY ARE THEY ON VACATION? GET THE FUCK TO WORK AND STOP ENABLING THE MURDER OF AMERICA. WHAT USELESS CUNTS YOU HAVE BECOME!!!
World's richest man who gladly proclaims that his social media platform is completely free speech has now said that if you talk against Trump you'll be permanently banned. Way too much ketamine and cocaine in that brain.
So - my question is: what are the Democrats DOING about it? I've been getting requests for donations from the DNC today. This is the same day they voted in a self professed 'progressive' - but from his focus on donors seems more like a neoliberal NewDemocrat to me. I'm leaning towards feckless..w/C.
We need a go fund me page to establish a legal fund for Musk employees who have been involved in the election "tampering" and who are willing to come forward to show how the Musk crimes took place. Anyone covering for Musk or DJT is a criminal. They can redeem themselves by telling all.
Sadly, the billionaire boys’ club that has control of the US govt and want to end the New Deal and Great Society programs are the ones who have not been paying taxes. So average Americans are paying taxes to finance the country’s programs, while the wealthy have been spending money to buy our govt.
Yes, there are some. It’s really the wealthy v the rest of us. Precisely why I have been advocating Dems run and elect middle class candidates.
Wealthy politicians vote for wealthy concerns.
Because in any crisis like this, they are destroying form the inside out. We need to stop looking to the govenrment alone to help us. The handful of helpers that remain are fighting with one eye closed and two hands tied behind their back. Historically, only the people can stop a coup
We need to stop waiting for a savior to swoop in and fix everything. Its not going to happen. We need to band together on a common goal, saving our country, and also divide and conquer so all major issues are addressed.

Putin And Xi’s -Co-Operative Elon A Unelected Civilian Ceased U.S. Government Control !! Trump And Republicans Pretend They Are In Power Of U.S. Government —Really Where Are They?
Trump Gives Mental Deranged Interviews And Orders—From Project 25 Enforcers—GOPs Only Job Defend Trump’s Unfitness!!
Can't wait for his inevitable downfall and for this clown to fade away into obscurity. He is massively overplaying his hand and is quickly becoming the most hated billionaire in a world that is growing increasingly angry with the ultra rich - it will eventually backfire hard.
I don't understand where our Democratic representation is. Where are the law suits that should have been filed already to put a stop to this?? Where is Schumer???! What the fuck is happening?
There have been a bunch of lawsuits filed this week. Even some injunctions. What you're not going to see is this on the news. You will need to search out other outlets.
But it's important to get their votes down, to confirm they no longer want a democracy. Identifying what they are doing is the first step to getting our country back.
I don’t see how this can be turned around anytime soon. I think the days of a democratic USA are about to be over. There’s no way they’ll allow fair elections in 2026.
If there is an election in 2026, it will be a Putin style election, where you get to show up to vote, but your only option is to vote for GOP candidates
The citizens of USA need to stand up and fight for their country. Don't sit back and hope someone else does it for you. FIGHT! Your entire country is in peril.
Posted similar after historian and professor @hcrichardson.bsky.social , Dr Heather Cox Richardson gave a great recap of the news this weekend.
How does the USA let itself be run over by a billionaire citizen of several countries with exclusive government contracts, and his felon accomplice?
Oh, he is very often wrong. He's very fond of defending dictatorships, etc. Basically, he is just stubbornly and stupidly anti-American no matter what.
And that's the solution here - don't tariff everything that Canada and Mexico import from the US, tariff stuff from Trumps mates like Musk - Starlink, Tesla cars and so on.
Agreed, it’s already happening. STARLINK in Ontario is on the ropes and many products from red states . So Trump has paused the tariffs for now. Rd 1 to the Canucks!
Though the FBI seems to be already under Trump's thumb. Maybe better to contact your local Congressman and Senators to tell them to do something or risk losing their spot, if they are up, during Mid-Terms
I have three times now but no reply so far on that topic. One senator sent a letter to all state federal workers not take his buyout offer. Thant's it so far.
Yeah probably to be expected with most. I know Don Bacon-R for Nebraska's representative in House of Representatives said how the federal funding freeze was unfair. Though Deb Fischer is worthless and somehow still got re-elected this past November.
Fight back. It's all we have now.
Average people can reach out to their elected officials — the phone number for Congress is 202-224-3121 — and raise absolute holy hell.
Rasputin held significant sway in the Russian court, which fueled public distrust. His life ended violently in 1916, when he was assassinated by a group of nobles who feared his growing influence. His story has since become legendary.
Imagine the headlines says "George Soros seizes control of the U.S. Treasury...". The internet would have melted and the right would be planning another January 6th.
Once trump was sworn in the coup was complete. why this country allowed such a man to run after Jan 6th 2021 is why we are in this situation. WE ALLOWED the country to be destroyed.
Our constitution is worthless now because there's nothing in it that will protect our country from the lawless coup we are experiencing. It means nothing to Trump and Musk other than something to wipe their butts with.
I know what term to use, "call the cops". If someone breaks into my house and steals my computer and distributes all my money as they see fit, I would CALL THE COPS.
Heist. The word she's looking for is heist. You (the American people) are dealing with common thieves. This is nothing more than an elaborate heist. Think Oceans 11 but against 335 million people not a Vegas casino.
I bet they think they're so cool so they act like it's a heist. Even Bill Maher said on Friday that Eblob "was just having fun trolling people" and making them nervous. Wake up! His whole fortune is built from our taxpayer-funded contracts. They believe they're invincible. Let's see what happens.
What for? Temporary special government employees have the right to do what he is doing. Plus he is a legal citizen of the US. So why in the world should he be arrested or deported?
Data theft? Hacking? Illegal takeover of federal it systems. If a hack this could have been 30+ years of Federal Prison. Good the Tech Kids are young. And they only did obey the fuhrer, jaaaa! It would be an overreach, a crime, anyhow than the maker we do have administrative laws which protects data
Let's not push that narrative. They are not a problem because they are immigrants. They are a problem because they are egotistical billionaires with zero moral fortitude and unchecked power.
And we're just sitting here with our big COSTCO bag of popcorn watching 200+ yrs. of blood, sweat, and tears get wiped out and crushed by a billionaire coup(let's be real) Good times. #weresoscrewed
Since the new admin is ignoring Congress & the Constitution, I imagine they can do something. If the gov of Illinois just announced that J6 criminals cannot obtain state jobs, I imagine national leaders can take some action. Speak out, challenge, introduce legislation, be loud. Something!
There have been protests across the country already. Yesterday, there was a 9+ hour protest in LA that shut down the freeways & downtown traffic off & on all day. The cops tried to shut it down after dark & mass arrest the protestors, but too many people slipped away.
who? the right owns it all now, no one will challenge them , not ever. Americans as a whole are just a bunch of pussies these days. this is NOT 1770, the people are complacent and to damn stupid to see what they have done, with Some even defending this insanity. rest in Peace America
Won't do any good they own the courts. The Supreme Court was bought and paid for a long time ago. The fix is in the US is done. Welcome to Nazi America
Where are the senators, house reps & AG ? An unelected billionaire operating without oversight and an unknown cadre of henchmen now accessing IRS records and removing anyone who gets in their way is UNCONSITUTIONAL. No private citizen should be firing or threatening govt. officials!
It's frightening and ILLEGAL for Musk to have all this data on US Citizens. I wish the ACLU would take him to court, because I think out civil liberties are being violated.
Seriously I’m shocked that so many Americans, even those who are shocked, aren’t preparing to ride. This should be terrifying. It’s like a collective ‘Gee, that’s terrible. Meh.’
He is on X right now discussing what fraudulent waste certain agencies have done with taxpayer money. He’s very transparent but you want to hide in a safe space, a libtard echo chamber. You’re an ostrich not a man.
Why doesn’t anyone say this country elected a man that let the robber in and not accidentally
Also say: you have been enslaved.
Sure, we’re gonna grab the door frame as they drag us away, but…
No, they won't get invaded anytime soon but America alone is no match for the rest of the world. Trump is getting carried away and he and his Magat sheep think America can do whatever they please to all the world. Well, how's it going so far? We will be paying highly for Trump's selfish, power trip!
Several U.S. laws protect personal information, including Social Security Numbers (SSNs), from unauthorized access and misuse. It is a crime to misuse someone’s personal information, including SSNs, for fraudulent purposes.
The US population has sleepwalked into becoming an autocracy/oligarchy. Somewhat like Russia now? Somewhat like Hungary now? And have those countries gone back to democracy? No they have not. It's pretty much a given that people like MUSK will never leave power once they grab it into their hands.
It’s living nightmare…in the United States of America 🇺🇸….
at least it WAS up until abt 3 weeks ago….
It’s seems the WORKS of Heritage Foundation n alike with the snakeY greedy the USA’s sudden Oligarchs (in paper nbrs mostly or not ….) who are all CONTROLLING the Psycho-maniac Pres….!
Time for a military coup… would love to see a clip of Trump and Melania being whisked away at midnight in their pyjamas to a plane taking them to Moscow.
We will never be like Ukraine. But if I'm wrong, and it comes to war, this will be the worst defeat the US has suffered since Vietnam or even 1812 when we first kicked Americans asses.
If Trump attacks Canada militarily, he'll be fighting a war on two fronts, against Canada and against the huge number of US citizens who would go to the streets to stop him.
That is heartwarming. Thank you so much for your support. Trump needs to know that we stand united. We will never bow down to him. We will never bend the knee to him. There's 42 million of us here. To use Trump's expression we will "fight fight fight". 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
President Musk is going from agency to agency grabbing extremely confidential data, firing heads of agencies and shutting down agencies!!!!What's his authorization?? DOGE is not even an authorized federal department. Everyone wants him arrested!! Who's going to do it? FBI?? No. No one will.
Half of Congress is complicit and supportive of what’s going on, the other half is scared and would rather try to ‘get along’… And the Supreme Court are all wearing blindfolds and looking the other way… something has to give!
It's almost like we had a hostile takeover and little terrorists attacks to keep us in line, so the billionaire coup can happen. Start looking at Hungary because that's been the 'business' model for orangefatboys 'America #followinghungary
I am sure you will recall Trump and his sycophants since January 2021. They were in MSM/social media every day without fail. Don't forget his trials where he shouted in the microphone alongside with his sycophants every single day about how unfair this is. Well heard anything at all from Democrats??
Yes, Democratic lawmakers are speaking out. But it’s hard to get the media’s attention when a firehose of bad actions is coming from the open fire hydrant that is the White House.
U.S. Main Street media normalized trump and because of all of the crazy chit he was doing he got higher ratings and more attention for free. Democrats got lost in the mayhem of the constant pursuit of ratings.
US law enforcement has always been far more interested in chasing down brown folks and folks who don't fuck like them over corporate criminals. Telling the FBI to go after the rich white guy might make them self destruct. They are trained to go after you, not them.
Trump wanted to win the election so he would not have to go to jail. And now he does not care anymore. He is content to play golf. President Musk bought the election for $300 million. He is firmly in charge of the US govt at all levels now. How many heads of federal agencies has Musk fired now??
Shumer seems to be listening but the word is he is making deals on these cabinet picks. Let him know it’s not ok for any reason. He needs to use every tool at his disposal.
Maybe they should have prosecuted Trump in a timely fashion instead of waiting several years knowing that it would run out the clock. Maybe 12 Dem Senators shouldn't have voted to confirm Aileen Cannon. Murphy, Kaine, Feinstein, etc. without them there would be no Judge Cannon.
They have already labelled Luigi as a terrorist and have set a court date a couple months away! (Not ONE school shooter has been labelled a terrorist as they only shot kids not a rich CEOs). Meanwhile, years go by, they wait till Trump wins the election. Then his terrorism crimes "Just go away!"
Luigi's manifesto: "Frankly these parasites simply had it coming...the US has the "most expensive healthcare system in the world yet ranks #42 in life expectancy...profits continue to rise while "our life expectancy" does not.
These Mafiosa are too powerful & abuse our country for immense profit."
sorry that was a ranking for 2023 done last year. It's prob worse now. I know it's also 11th out of 11 countries used in another ranking system. I don't understand why ppl aren't furious about this. Reps go insane over trans ppl in sports but not this.
I'm furious about healthcare in the US. Where I am it is terrible. People who can afford it drive 5 hours to Fla for Mayo.
Not sure what 2024 was for life expectancy but it is always shockingly low. I believe the healthcare system itself was ranked #69 for this last year between Armenia and Algeria.
Take a page from us Canadians🇨🇦… We don’t fret about the “Bluster and Blow.” That’s not our way. We will just quietly hit where it hurts. We’re loyal to a fault but you abuse our trust and we won’t forget. Trump needs to know America won’t take the abuse!
Keep in mind - the US police force is built different. Also remember - every branch of the government is in Trump’s corner and our military is at his command. Let’s not forget half of our very well armed country is loyal to him. What would your next move be, if you were in our shoes?
Came here to say/ask this. Conspicuously non-violent resistance & strategic civil disobedience seems best informed by history, also what I can personally do & live w/. Mutual aid will also be key to minimize harm that’s coming for all but a few of us. We can be scared and courageous.
Easiest thing to give into fear. Trump wants you to feel powerless & overwhelmed. Don’t let him! That’s what they’re counting on. Despite how it appears you ARE the majority. THEY are the minority. Your job - Keep raising your voice to your local and state constituents. FIGHT for your country.

I noticed that Canada & Mexico quickly stood up to the orange pussy & he backed down!
Even the Trumpiest of them can't be in favor of this.
