Trump's #1 goal is to monetize the Presidency. There's no single word that can describe the level of corrupt, extortive, and oligarchic self-dealings that will be the hallmark. Staggering? No, bigger, much bigger. Trump wants to be the Don, and Musk and RFK Jr will be among his "big earners". (More)

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

Says the man who spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect a fellow who bragged of committing sexual assault, who’s been accused of sexual assault multiple times, and who was found liable for committing sexual assault. A total BS machine.

This is wild. Dems would have taken control of Congress 218-217 had we won 2022 North Carolina Supreme Court races. But instead, GOP won the NC Supreme Court and gerrymandered 3 Dem seats into completely non-existence. Instead R’s now control the house 220-215.

Elon Musk thinks HE won the election and gets to be the autocrat. Fascist and delusional to the core.

This is so awesome! Hope this sort of 'envisioning aid' (don't know what to call it!) becomes popular.

California is proposing a state EV tax credit if Trump and Musk succeed is killing the federal EV credit. Tesla would likely be excluded. Based on data I recently pulled, it looks like Californians won't care. Tesla's sales have dramatically declined since Musk started promoting fascism.

In other words: Musk, who regularly boosts conspiracy theories with simple one word tweets like "Yup" considers sharing links to meticulously reported and fact-checked journalism to be lazy.

The world is in reverse. Seems like all of the advances of the 19th & 20th centuries are being eaten away by greed

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

With billionaires buying up and using legacy media as mouthpiece’s for their fascistic agendas, this is incredibly concerning. Feels like the Guardian/Observer is the last bastion of trustworthy journalism, and it’s in great peril. Please boycott during the strike days!!

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information. Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky
