If you believed their "we're fine with LGB just not T" bullshit, you're an easy mark and I don't know what else to tell you. White Christian Nationalism is coming for us all. We cannot let them divide us or leave anyone behind who is in their crosshairs.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have repeatedly affirmed Musk’s leadership of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. But according to a new court filing from the White House, the administrator of DOGE isn’t Elon Musk after all. Who is? No one knows.

Republicans talk about Donald Trump and Elon Musk like they're Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which is fine as long as they end up the same way.

All I'm saying is that if I had billions of dollars I'd be trying to feed more kids, keep more kids vaccinated and healthy, looking for ways to give people good paying jobs, protect the country and the environment, and generally do good, instead of, like, being evil.

“Trump isn’t kidding. When he insists that the 2020 election was stolen, that USAID is a complete fraud…that Arab states will help him empty & gentrify Gaza, he’s not saying things he knows are false or preposterous. He really believes this lunacy. He’s deranged.” www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

He says here that "he'll act quickly to correct mistakes." Has he publicly corrected his 'condoms for Gaza' mistake? Apologized? How about Trump seated a few feet away, who claimed Hamas made bombs from US condoms? Any correction? Apology? Of course not. These people lie & lie & lie & lie.

Christian nationalism on steroids "Is it unconstitutional? Of course it is....This is a way for white conservative Christians to remind everyone... that only their religion counts, that religious pluralism is a joke to them, and that non-Christians should be considered second-class citizens."

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
