If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Why is the AI company Nvidia pushing for a 10-year ban that'd stop states from putting in safeguards around AI? Because they want to shape the rules so they can make more money. This is just one more example of Nvidia putting its profits over consumers and national security.

Trump’s federalization of the CA National Guard under 10 USC § 12406 is illegal. The law requires that orders be issued “through the Governors of the States.” Gov Gavin Newsom has not issued the orders. Guard troops in LA are following unlawful orders. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10…

Bonta: We brought a lawsuit today on behalf of the governor and the State of California, challenging as unlawful the president’s federalization of the National Guard.. The authority he relies on does not permit him to unilaterally call in the National Guard.

"On the trail, Trump declared he would deport massive numbers of 'criminal aliens.' When he came into office, however, he faced a problem: The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are law abiding. But he came up with an answer: Create fake crimes and thereby turn the law abiding into criminals."

Are Trump's actions in LA a distraction? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "A hundred percent. It's all about news cycles. Whatever he can to distract. I mean, disastrous economic policies... Even his his biggest sycophant in the country, Elon Musk, said likely a recession in the second half of the year."

The correct political tack here is NOT “oh good, maybe now we can get Elon to back some Democrats” It’s actually, “This convicted criminal sexual predator and his drug-addled Nazi billionaire just raped and robbed the US government and now they’re fighting over the loot.”

A billionaire who profits off the presidency is feuding with another billionaire who bought access to the government to line his own pockets. Neither should have ever been able to amass so much power. What we're witnessing is a failed experiment in billionaire governance.

Trump's abomination of a reconciliation bill is a deal to sacrifice the lives of 50,000 of us to pay for more luxury for billionaires. That's 50,000 deaths a year. 500,000 deaths a decade. Gives new meaning to the term "obscenely wealthy." The rich have put out a contract on the lives of the poor.
