This former US Atty supports the courage of Danielle Sassoon, the acting US Atty in SDNY, who put service ahead of self & refused to let politics interfere with prosecutions. True American hero. Thank you for your service, Danielle. You are the best of us. Who's with me?

😳 Curtis Yarvin, a computer engineer & blogger [who claims to have “coached” Peter Thiel & is DOGE advisor Marc Andreessen’s “good friend”] helped Milo, Bannon, & Breitbart launch the “alt right” into the mainstream in 2017.

The Tech Bros glorify themselves, technology, colonialism, imperialism, monarchy, billionaire-ism, accelerationism, & risk. They plan to colonize via “network states” & charter cities. They are obsessed w/ IQ & intrigued w/ race science & surveillance. They admire Curtis Yarvin & Nick Land. 1/

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are trying to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

All corporate and establishment media that bent the knee to Trump...that kissed up to Republicans...that endured humiliation even as they called you the "enemy of the people." Was it worth it?

DOGE is about to receive full access to IRS taxpayer data. On its own, that’s horrific. But it gets worse. The guy with access reposted content by Nick Fuentes (who advocates killing Jews) & says he was inspired to join DOGE by Ron Unz (an antisemitic Holocaust denier). This is beyond dangerous.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us.

Elon Musk and GOP members of Congress are knowingly sharing a doctored video of Rep Ilhan Omar. Musk especially hates her because she is a strong Black woman and he is an apartheid raised white supremacist. Their goal is to incite violence against her. www.mediaite.com/news/ilhan-o...

I am super worried Trump is now trying to demonise Canada with his hidous lies eg. accusing Canada of taking huge handouts from the US. It's as though he trying to roust up anger within the population against Canada, ultimately a potential enemy. This is how he divided the US.
