The corporations and billionaires who run them are taking over our government. Five major financial institutions were all under federal investigation for fraud. All five cases were just dropped by Trump and Musk. It's now legal to cheat consumers. www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

Trumpism and Muskism are similar in that both rely on a shitposting ethos: just spout stuff and keep spouting stuff, don’t think about whether it’s true, the point is to keep spouting stuff. It’s a nihilistic worldview that treats truth with contempt.

This is a disaster, and will be particularly bad after a weather disaster. People will die and there will be vast economic costs from this. It's not about saving taxpayers' money. It's about disassembling the government.

The term that makes sense to me is "evangelical capitalists." They believe if you can afford something you deserve it no matter how you got the money and if you can't buy it you don't deserve it, even food & medicine, no matter what external forces prevent you from having the money.

American Christianity has marshaled its vast electoral muscle behind Trump in hopes of historic access to the White House and so far this coveted leverage has resulted in an Iranian Christian being deported to her imprisonment and possible death and two sex traffickers being freed and imported here.

I’ve been saying for over two decades there is no better bargain in the area of national defense than a proactive response to the threat of H5N1. Finally, someone was willing to do it…and now, of course, the GOP wants to kill it.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Friends, our president is an insane megalomaniac. If this doesn't open your eyes to that you're in denial. But we all need you to wake up and open your eyes. Understand he is a danger to us and to the world. Stand up, speak out, and NEVER normalize this.
