When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

There we go. Support this man.

🚨🚨🚨🚨Trump was caught on the hot mic telling Bukele they plan on doing citizens next.

As you file your taxes, remember that Trump & Musk want to make it easier for the ultra-rich to avoid paying what they legally owe. Worse: that’s not enough for Trump. He wants to give billionaires more tax breaks on the backs of hardworking Americans. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-i...

George Takei Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

The new White House tip line to report immigrants is bombarded with calls to arrest Musk 😆
