Some Notes on the City of Angels and the Nature of Violence I think maybe it's begun, the bigger fiercer backlash against the Trump Administration which is itself a violent backlash against every good thing that's happened over the past several decades – the a...

Musk knew his days were numbered with DOGE- so he told Trump advisers this week he would donate another $100 million to Trump's political operation. Hence why he is still around, and got the 30 min White House Tesla infomercial.

Many of Trump’s early actions are unpopular, Post-Ipsos poll finds Reviews from Americans on President Donald Trump’s second term are mixed to negative, and 57 percent say he has exceeded his authority since taking office.

Predictably, Trump's approval numbers are falling. His mini-me is even worse. I gifted this so you can read it.

3) GET AN INAUGURATION TICKET AND DO NOT SHOW.

4) NATIONAL IMPERIAL MARCH BY KAZOO DAY. If SEVERAL thousand Kazooers mass the parade route and play the Imperial March … badly, Trump will be so upset he will outlaw Kazoos.

THESE ARE TIPS THAT ONLY WORK IF WE DO THEM EN MASS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY.

2) MASS DELETE TWITTER AT EXACTLY 12 noon on 20 Jan as Elonia holds VP Trump’s Bible. Send Pres Elon a message. If 10-20 million subscribers blink out simultaneously. He will have a sad.

Power resisters: keep accounts so they’re not hijacked but do not engage the anger algorithm. Just stop using.

Headline reading 

Trump Judge Blocks Overtime Pay For 4 Million Workers

The overtime rule is one of the most far-reaching economic reforms that President Joe Biden has fought for.

Headline reading Trump Judge Blocks Overtime Pay For 4 Million Workers The overtime rule is one of the most far-reaching economic reforms that President Joe Biden has fought for.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.

Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.
