Trying to find your way home through a maze of blocked streets? Hands up and asking questions gets you shot point blank with less lethals.

Going to check on that person's wellbeing since that type of shot can be lethal? Also threatened with use of force.

How capitalism actually works:
American product: $10
Chinese knockoff: $9
<Trump tariffs>
Chinese knockoff now: $15
American product now also $15 for some reason.

Yesterday Wisconsin rejected a South African billionaire buying an election.

Yesterday Cory Booker ignited a flame in the Senate that will mark an historical turning point in the resistance against American fascism.

Yesterday was a fine day.

Costa Rican former President Oscar Arias says US revoked his visa Former Costa Rican President and Nobel Prize winner Oscar Arias said on Tuesday that the U.S. had revoked his visa to enter the country, weeks after he criticized U.S. President Donald Trump on social media saying he was behaving like "a Roman emperor."

Nobel Prize winners: Not welcome.

Andrew Tate: Welcome.

I don't know how anyone in the administration can think this is a god look to the rest of the world, given that Arias' sin was a relatively mild criticism of the president.

The Navajo Code Talkers were true American heroes whose unbreakable code helped the United States and Allies win WWII and saved countless lives.

The Trump administration erased their story from all military websites.

How is that making America great? πŸ€”

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Trudeau: "What Trump said yesterday that there is nothing Canada or Mexico can do to avoid these tariffs underlines very clearly what I think a lot of us have suspected for a long time: that these tariffs are not specifically about fentanyl even though that's the legal justification he must use"

RIP U.S. Department of Education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon introduced herself to department employees with an email calling on them to join her in a β€œhistoric final mission” to downsize the agency and shift control to the states.

Trump just cut off aid to Ukraine. A small, petty man, who has embarrassed our country around the world and made us weaker. If there was any doubt that there is something untoward between Trump and Putin, this cements it. Truly shameful day for the USA.

In response to Trump’s assertion, β€œHe who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say:

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

This new EO signed today appears to create DOGE as a shadow government across the entire federal government. Each agency/dept will be assigned a DOGE minder who will work with the Secry or Director and essentially be in charge of all new hiring and/or firing. People have been saying the Elon is ...

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Trump, Vance, and Musk are pushing to rehire a staffer who resigned after being called out for a social media account with a history of racist posts. β€œTo err is human, to forgive divine,” Elon Musk said in defense of the move. Noβ€”it’s not err; it’s racism. No excuses.

"Vance had a chance to defend his OWN family, and he opted to defend the Indian-hating bigot instead. Where are the balls on these Republican men? ... Elon wants his DOGE kid who hates Indians back and Vance does his bidding... Do they castrate these guys at the door of the RNC?"

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administrationβ€”that Elon’s staffers have only β€œread-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have β€œadministrative” access to computer systems.

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behaviorβ€”shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

This whole effort was brazenly illegal. From the big picture down to innumerable individual acts. But even if course was shifted now, which is basically unimaginable, Musk likely has already essentially destroyed the organization. Under the best circs will take years or decades to rebuild.
