“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

Have confirmed the same. Truly fucked up. And, should go without saying, illegal.

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

When I was growing up preachers would find a way to single out someone they thought was “living in sin” and try to make them feel guilty. Now they defend the biggest sinner of them all and try to make people who preach Jesus’s real message feel guilty.

Sometime in the last 24-48 hours, my Instagram account automatically followed these four accounts. I never chose to follow them.

And so it begins. These people will not storm the Capital building. They will not assault police officers or hang gallows for bureaucrats. They respect the peaceful transfer of power. Anyone who says the two parties are the same are blatantly wrong. They are not, we are not. #resist

The Jumbotrons were taken down. Because of the cold. Really.

Just got into the Trump rally at Capitol One Arena. But there are thousands and thousands of Trump fans standing in sleeting rain who have been here since 7 am, and there’s no way they’re getting in. But no one is telling them that. Seems like half the arena is VIPs and donors.

We told you, Donald, it was going to get embarrassing. 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/meidas-hum...

I see the Democratic weather machine is doing great work again, forcing that inauguration inside. Well done, climate controllers.

I wish I could personally apologize to Thom Hartmann @hartmannreport.com for not posting enough of his amazing writings. I’ll try to remedy that as America plunges ever more deeply into #ChristoFascism, #Kakistocracy and #Broligarchy! open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

In case you didn't see this through other channels. h/t to @jayulfelder.bsky.social for following the demonstrations.

Trump wants Comcast punished because Seth Myers told a joke about him.

If you're only worried about China, and not the billionaires that own other social media apps, then you're missing the full picture.
