Y'all notice this hypocrisy? •Musk gets $20B+ in federal subsidies—is celebrated! •NPR gets ~$3M in federal grants—Trump wants to shut it down as "wasteful." This isn't democracy—it's autocracy & an all out war on free press. Here are two ways we can fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-war-on...

Eliminating "waste" but only for the important functions .... The irony is that the presidency wasn't ONLY Trump's "get out of jail free" card - it was also a luxury pass for golf outings for the next 4 years.

The real question is, why are there so many stupid people in this country, ignorant of history, politics, civics, unmoved by compassion, & eager to subscribe to conspiratorial and racist beliefs. Is it the education system? Is it the inundation of the media with well-funded far right ideologues?
