Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

For *years* now, like every few months I have to write a variation on the same post about how Elon is not about free speech, and that he's deeply censorial. And days later I always see yet another media person or politician refer to what he's doing as "free speech absolutism." It's so stupid.

A new campaign to fight back against Republicans trying to steal from us to pay the billionaires? Yep, I'm in it.

“When you look at the documents (which are supposedly produced by the admin) and see who actually wrote them, you see it was often people outside who were closely associated with and drafted Project 2025. This is really Project 2025 trying to colonize the federal govt” youtube.com/watch?v=Fs8b...

PewAnon 🤦‍♂️ Even the fucking pastor who’s just delivered the sermon at Donald Trump’s Inauguration has launched his own Crypto coin… But to give Father Lorenzo Sewelll some credit… he did wait a whole two hours since his slot this afternoon 👀 A grift from God
