We, the non-billionaires and residents who won’t benefit from the government’s plundering, must prepare for the severe crises coming our way. The America we’ve known is no more.

Would the situation look any different if a Russian asset were placed in the highest office of the executive branch — with dubious election results — and promptly abandoned our allies to champion Putin’s interests? Nope. That treasonist is compromised and KH won. I will luxuriate on this hill. 🧘🏽‍♀️

They're dismantling the agency that can, if it did robust enforcement, fill the deficit. For every $1 it spends on enforcement it generates $5-$9 in revenue. We lose ~1 trillion dollars each year to tax fraud, mostly from the rich. Musk paid no income tax in 2021 www.propublica.org/article/the-...

We must revamp our kids’ Save the Earth lessons with a more realistic approach. The prevailing methods of reduce, reuse, and recycle are useless unless we raze, remove, and rout these dangerous f*cks determined to kill off humanity. The Earth will save itself. We’re on our own.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

NEW: Two weeks ago gov't IT experts warned us that the worst case scenario would be if DOGE got full admin access to agency systems. We can report at at least one agency DOGE has unfettered "god mode" access. Our latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Collective resistance. Mass noncompliance. Disrupt the money-making machine. It’s the only way to effect change. And the best course of action (given our regime’s eagerness to bash in some heads) would be to collectively stay inside and refuse to work or contribute — the People’s Lockdown.

We will soon be facing a severe food shortage, and the leftovers will be contaminated. I’ve certainly noticed that the rapid-fire recall notices we used to receive have stopped completely. Maybe it’s norovirus, maybe it’s lima beans.

FDA staff with “highly technical expertise in nutrition, infant formula, and food safety response,” just gone. Recalls of contaminated baby formula won’t occur under this regime. They’ll just let babies chug bacteria that cause serious & sometimes fatal infections. No FDA = No Recalls. Period. ⚠️

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos. He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks. Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’

In a letter?!? “…there is simply no authority or basis for Trump to impose such a mandate.” Exactly. As with most of this administration’s outright racist directives, it will head to court. In the meantime, institutions need not obey. Noncompliance is the way.

Yes, people dislike wearing face masks but reality is that with all the viruses circulating (COVID, bird flu, regular flu, RSV) you can choose to be a little uncomfortable wearing a mask in public -or- you can choose to be sick constantly. That's what our options are really coming down to.
