We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes.
Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed.
We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

This administration has already started pumping misinformation into the media. "Talking about it" will become increasingly important as things get worse.
Media makes it look and sound apocalyptic.
How do we know just how bad it really is, even if we have predetermined dislike and understanding of Trump, Maga, and Musk being a threat to democracy!?
If we want things to get better we need radical change.
I'm not even sure what you're rambling about.
Change is on the way & it won't be for the better.
You yourself point out that suffering is the countries status quo so it's ridiculous to argue that 'change' will lead to this when it's already happening.
If we build an organizing space where hundreds of thousands of us who oppose this are in one place and can be mobilized at the drop of a hat...we might have a fighting chance?
We're trying to build that: https://FireElon.org
Our to-do list:
1. Stop further harm,
2. Undo existing damage,
3. Rebuild, and
4. Try to make sure it won't happen to our descendants.
History lesson:
Civil War ➡️ Reformation ➡️ Jim Crow ➡️ Civil Rights ➡️ MAGA ➡️ To Be Determined...
Actually they now control the gates

And the consequences for the whole world will be bad, very, very bad.
**The mainstream media for caring about profits and access over journalism and investigation
**The GOP for abandoning any sense of honor
**Reagan for sparking the "government is the problem" dynamite that has destroyed any sense of civic responsibility
Elon has relied on the fed to grow his companies and now he’s dismantling the government to hide his crimes.
God how easily the USA folded, to two fucking idiots 🤬
And there will not be elections in 2028.
The USA is over.
The fascist state has taken over like an Emerald Cockroach Wasp, poisoning and then eating its host's brain - turning it into a zombie to release its natural resources..
Be very affraid!
You life might seem totally normal but you should definitely be filled with FEARRRR
Nothing says "peace plan" like painting a target on every American’s back.
Witness a leader unshackled from reality.
Things do look dark now, but everyone who came here or was born here are survivors and won't be broken easily.
I do believe in my soul that the great creator didn't bring this country this far to turn back now 🙏🏾
"We trusted Elon, but he betrayed us, we didn't know he was doing things we hadn't authorised, he's an enemy of the people. He is now in custody. I am signing an EO to bring SpaceX under government control."
Any Musk hold over Trump evaporates.
We are watching the fall of Rome in real time.
When I was a kid, we had a widely popular Dem governor but a lot has changed in the past 30 years.
I left last summer after living there for over 40 years. I’m in Eastern Washington now. A better state 💙
But you are absolutely right.

Shakin’ my damn Canadian head….
When the case is made up of frivolities, you don’t notice you’re being imprisoned.
In fact, congress has been.
No oversight whatsoever — just a rapidly evolving Orban-esque power grab.
Seems out of whack to me.

Here in the suburbs, they are driving their kids to afterschool activities and acting like everything is normal. My husband is busy with work, so he isn't paying attention. He thinks I am overreacting, and he believes things will be just fine.
MSNBC wakes up
I just looked at the webpages for the Cincinnati Enquirer, Columbus Dispatch, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Toledo Blade, Dayton News & Sun, Akron Beacon Journal. There is nothing about Trump/Elon. There is 1 article on the Cleveland mainpage about Trump's budget cuts
And The Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune are barely covering what Elon/DOGE is doing.
It is hard to convince people when the major newspapers aren't covering it.
There's nothing on the Springfield News-Sun mainpage.
You'd think they'd be interested in Trump's immigration plans, since he made the city infamous when he lied about immigrants eating cats & dogs in Springfield https://www.springfieldnewssun.com
Then one day it changes completely.
Or one day you wake up and don't recognize the system you're living in.
However, most of my friends aren't aware that Elon/DOGE has access to federal databases. They haven't seen a newspaper article. They don't watch news on TV
My friends who are aware watch Fox, so they think Elon/DOGE is amazing.
You have to watch cable news or read NY Times/Washington Post to know about DOGE.
p.s. I love the Cincinnati Enquirer, I've read it most of my life.
The shitstorm in the US is headline news here.
This is the Guardian's front page for example
https://www.theguardian.com/uk
However, the newspapers in the largest cities in Ohio (a state of 11 million people) have nothing. The articles on the https://cincinnati.com mainpage are about the Super Bowl, etc. Nothing on the Columbus Dispatch mainpage.
Nothing on the Dayton Daily News mainpage. Nothing on the Akron Beacon Journal mainpage, mostly sports stories. Nothing on the Toledo Blade mainpage, the biggest story in Toledo is apparently a new dog park.

Local news isn't covering it. I looked at the webpages for the Cincinnati Enquirer, Columbus Dispatch, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Toledo Blade, Dayton News & Sun, Akron Beacon Journal. There's nothing about Elon.
(These are the largest papers in Ohio)
where were ‘your rep voted against $35 insulin’ billboards outside pharmacies in red districts?
You f*cked around and found out that South African Pro-Apartheid born/raised Elon Musk, who is 100% Trump's puppet master is: ANTI ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR, ANTI-WOMEN, ANTI-LGBTQ, and ANTI-JEWISH
Musk SUPPORTED the 2025 Nazi 2.0 candidate in Germany. Happy now?
That's the only hope now.
Someone needs to grow a pair FAST!
EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT BUILDING! EVERY ONE!
The history:
The San Francisco federal building sit-in, the only one that endured, lasted 28 days. It began with a rally outside the federal building, then inside, where people REMAINED.
TAKE IT ALL BACK!
And so far it has not.
We’re a shitty country of liars and racist colonialists.
We invented a whole ass holiday as revisionist history of how we treated native Americans.
Burn it down.
The Dems fed us to the fascists.
The Dems have a perfect record of working only for their billionaire donors
It’s why we have for profit education and health care.
Burn it the fuck down. I’m done.
And did nothing to stop him
Did not uphold their oaths of office
Are now scrambling to repair the damage they’ve done to their own fundraising with stupid theater governmenting in 24hr shifts now when it’s too late
Confederate South had.
They don't want to live in the real America of today; they want to go back-not to a pre-Civil War era, but to a post-Civil War fever dream as if they had won.
But yeah, w/ rw media getting even more intense, this is only going one way.

Wasn't it described in "project 2025"?
Another bucket of KFC please.
We kept telling the people we elected to enforce the 14th amendment. They all refused, and now here we are.
They didn't know a damn thing about it the day before. They cannot respond when you bring up actual aid they do.
But they don't have to KNOW anything. Elon is fine with that.
They don’t know and they don’t care. It’s ‘our’ money so why are you giving to ‘them’
But when you flood the market with disinformation, folks believe it. If Elon or Trump says it, it must be true. Without question 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
They think the world's poorest losing aid is great ... but when you point out that aid would give each American a couple of dimes in their pockets instead of another HUMAN a live-saving treatment they cannot respond.
"But ..."
But I don't trust either of them.
