It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Trump’s illegal threats to take away federal funding from Maine are a direct attack on state’s rights. He’s using federal funds as a tool to bully states into doing his bidding. This isn’t how democracy or policy works, it’s blackmail. Maine will fight & win this gross abuse of power. 🤬🖕🏼

FFS is right. It's a blatant mind control trick to increase outrage and decrease critical thinking. No one disputes there is some fraud - the GAO has reported it, the government has prosecuted it. But what Trump and Musk are suggesting is BS and not real.
