This is worth a watch and is enraging. Elon is a scourge and must be stopped. This is only the beginning.

"Flight restrictions stemming from the government shutdown are now impacting Americans who rely on private jets..." Ohh.

Mainly, they will use political power to force their religion on others.

Thank you, Senator Wyden. We know there's more to this story. WAY more. These people all need to fall. The rot is deep and has bubbled to the surface with the current administration.

The GOP/Trump has never stopped scheming about how to cheat at elections. They just have to go bigger as their popularity sinks.

Agree that we don't have a legitimate president of the United States right now.

Republicans MIA. Great photo.

👀"NOTUS attempted to trace the money appropriated for more than 100 government programs to understand where taxpayer dollars are going, only to hit dead ends...agencies have been vague in their explanations, and...there’s no publicly available evidence that appropriated money is being spent at all."

This is not just another way to look at it; it is THE way to look at it. We cannot normalize this no matter what SCOTUS, the complicit media, or compromised congress says or does. Looking away, sanitizing, or outright legitimizing it (SCOTUS) doesn't make it correct. Always call it out. Resist.

This guy is very perceptive. Thanks for sharing.

Great link. For those unaware, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is one of the top children's hospitals in the U.S. Dr. Offit cuts through the noise w/practical info about the established vaccination schedule. Videos (linked) are also worth watching to help inoculate against misinformation.

The thing about free speech is when there's speech we don't agree with, we just ignore it. It's why Kimmel & Colbert are far more well known & popular w/ Americans than Kirk ever was. They took them off the air b/c as w/ everything else, they know they can't win fairly & must rig the system instead.

This resonates. We need people like this to put our country back together. Kentucky (red & blue alike) needs to unite & make this country about its people, & not the billionaire class that is raping & plundering it. We all know money, greed, & corruption in politics is wrong. Let's vote like it.

👀

Besides being incredibly wrong, this strikes me as an incredibly stupid move. Wonder if they thought beyond, "Oooh...foreigners! (bonus $$)"

More white frat boy privilege drivel.

Well, this tracks even more now that we know what the drawing looks like. 🤔

Understanding Trump‘s birthday greeting to Epstein…. Enigma is an anagram of gamine. Gamine is a young waifish girl. Trump wrote Epstein that they share something in common: “enigmas never age“. In other words, they both like young girls. So Trump sent him a drawing of one for his birthday.🎉

OMG. Thank you for highlighting this!!! Great thread. The Sweeny thing was so perplexing. Manufactured outrage. "Nutpicking" is going into my lexicon for these times. We need to name these things to call it out. This is part of the whole GOP madness. What NUTjobs.

Yep. This is pretty much the vibe in America now.

We need to be on the lookout for ALL federal agents, not just ICE. They look like they may be looking to fill their for-profit detention centers. Expose this! This is NOT OK. We need lawsuits and we need more sand in the gears.

Interesting timeline, insights, and analysis of recent Epstein developments. Worth a watch.

"Patel and Bondi wanted victim information and PII" This is frightening and what I was afraid they were after. We need victim protection.

I agree with his view on the Epstein scandal. This is about WAY more than the horrific abuse. It's the potential linchpin to unraveling the entire current disordered and dysfunctional power structure. He is right. The only logical way forward is through progressives.

Great insightful article and thread. Definitely resonates. Useful conversation starter for young tech folks in our lives.

Yep. It's ALL about the money (and power). Follow it. It's less about the sex. It's about the kompromat. Blow the rot WIDE open. It's the only way we have the chance to recover.

This is beyond no due process. This is CRIMINAL kidnapping & disappearing. We have a criminal syndicate in charge. We need to insist on accounting for each & every person in federal custody. We need more hackers too. Kudos to the hackers & shame on the airline GlobalX for their complicity.

Nice! Packed yet succinct. Perfect for short attention spans.

This is a good take. One thing about narcissists (& at this point it's the entire GOP) is that they goad you into ridiculous arguments of dubious relevance, where you are almost always playing defense. Ignoring them takes the wind out of their sails. They fear irrelevance more than anything else.

Yep. Every GOP obfuscation is a PRETEXT for something else, something deeply unpopular.

Just imagine what could be if the GOP, the Heritage Foundation, & their billionaire friends spent just a FRACTION of this enormous focused energy & efforts of theirs on buillding up & strengthening the US (& humanity) instead of raping, plundering, & tearing it down. Moral turpitude is a CHOICE.

Anyone who has ever played the game Monopoly to its eventual end knows how unfettered capitalism eventually ends. One person takes all the money and then no one gets to play anymore.

THIS 🧵⬇️needs to be spread far and wide because we know it won't be picked up by the mainstream media. There can be no legitimacy of the rulings of this SCOTUS.

Sounds like Dr. Schrier would be better qualified to run HHS than the current poser spewing imaginary nonsense. What an embarrasing joke of a political party the GOP has become.

Oligarchy

This gear needs sand, and lots of it.

Exactly. Let's be clear. The Trump regime is attacking LEGAL immigration, not just illegal immigration. Recinding legal status & then calling people "illegal" is more of the same manipulative lies & obsfucations by the GOP. Wholesale rescinding of legal status & upending lives is evil & sociopathic.

Well, the sh** is finally hitting the fan. Cashier at the Home Depot: "EVERYTHING has gone up." Completely self-inflicted. Tax to feed the WH grifters and vultures.

The solution to the immigration problem is simple. Give a path to citizenship to those already here (true criminals excepted), strengthen the border, increase immigration court budget to timely get through cases, then INCREASE legal immigration. But this regime is not about solutions, is it?

An exceptionally moving and powerful statement. The accompanying image, along with the statement, should be iconic and emblematic of the horror of the Trump era. Unjust treatment. Nailed it.

Good point. While I personally believe DJT is a constitutionally disqualified president w/NO powers, consensus matters. If people are going to pretend he has powers & somehow this is a legal call-up, then we should at least get this right. These are at MOST federalized troops w/no LE powers. Got it.

There are more of us than them. By far. They're loud, because they have been emboldened.

Worth a listen. Concrete action plan for those asked to do the unthinkable.

Lol. "I think we have a bias as people coming from the tech industry where we worked at companies, you know, such as Google, Facebook, these companies that have plenty of money, are funded by investors & have lots of people kind of sitting around doing nothing." Let's NOT run gov't like a business.

Yep. Awfully specific on the 51-49, eh? Which senate and house races? Curious minds want to know.

Well, now I know what my next call to my Dem representative will be about. Thanks for the reminder. It's going on my daily "To-do" list under "Saving Democracy."

This is unfettered capitalism...and why Elon paid for access. "Environmental crime scene" Wonder how his tune would change if he were forced to live there. Regulations are NEEDED checks against irresponsible, amoral, sociopathic profit-chasing corporate mauraders.

The GOP is afraid of the people, criminalizing participatory democracy. They know their stances are NOT popular, so they attempt to impose their will on others. Let's just say it like it is. The GOP are fascists. We the people need to show them out the door.

Ugh.

Indeed. The domestic enemy has plundered and laid waste. This is not over, it's just gone stealth.
