Their desire is to increase precarity. They want more people suffering, more people starving, more people having to beg just to stay alive. They want us all to be desperate and vulnerable to their every whim, willing to migrate to their law-free, rights-free "freedom cities"

Why did Trump repeat Russian propaganda and lie about this? Why would he claim that a Ukrainian army in Kursk could only be saved from annihilation if Putin benevolently agreed to Trump’s request not to do so? Why is the US President deceiving Americans with Russian lies?

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

Trump canceled Chevron's Venezuela oil license & cut off Venezuela from exporting oil to the US. Chevron is the largest American domestic O&G & Trump just kicked them in the dick. For Putin, of course. Without that Venezuelan oil they'll be even more allied. Here comes the Russian oil.

As Elon Musk guts entire government agencies and fires thousands of federal workers that deliver vital services to the country, remember that his corporations have received at least $38 billion in government contracts over the past 20 years. Yet will any of this be touched by DOGE? Of course not.
