Is it too early to put out a book about the crumbling of the American empire and calling it Inside Job?

On behalf of the European Defense Contractors Association, we'd like to extend a sense of deep gratitude for his speech at the Munich Security Conference to J.D. Vance. We've never had such an interest in military hardware orders in our history.

It's a bit early, but going to call it. The Trump administration appears to have set the record for how many trading partners and defense allies it could piss off in less than a month. It was J.D.'s speech that really hit it over. You've worked hard and deserve this honor. 🏆

If my time working in business has told me anything it's this, any executive can come in and get rid of thousands of jobs in one announcement boosting profit. But does the work go away? Is the dept. or company even functional any more? It's like doing surgery with a chainsaw.

Just shared this on the X place. Finding it a bit ironic that a man with a $56 Billion dollar compensation package has been put in charge of rooting out inefficiencies in the U S. Government. #irony

If a politician can threaten or demand that a journalist be fired for criticizing said politician and their employer complies, then you have lost your free press.

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It is so important that we share this. The fear being caused by our current *situation* is real and it's their intention to maintain this type of control. Please share, be loud, take up space, and remember to be a safe space for those who need it. 🖤♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🩵

Snippet from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, originally published in 1953. Written before that even, & published as short stories as "It Was A Pleasure To Burn." I implore you to read this section at least. “You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them”
