Disabled veteran dealing with mesothelioma.
We didn't make it to 100 days before we had concentration camps.
I don't relish being the bearer of bad news, but those saying Trump cannot realize his desire to send US citizens to Salvadoran prisons are wrong. There's not only a legal way to do it, but the plan has been pitched to him and he's already on board with it. It's explained here:
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

I'm agreeing with Steve Bannon and now I have to go puke my guts out.
2 of the worst people you know are fighting again🍿...

Steve Bannon on Elon Musk: "Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”

I sure hope that framework is "kicking ass and taking names." Anything less is fruitless.
Today, I released a framework detailing how the Democratic Party will fight against Trump’s war on working people.

When does DOGE start firing SCOTUS judges?

If this doesn't chill your blood, nothing will. This is the most frightening thing I've ever read.
(📣) The 6th book in the NYT-bestselling Proof Series is here. It’s the first one about Musk. $6 gets you not only the full book but a) the 4th book in the Series, b) the 5th book in the Series, c) access to 425 more PROOF reports for a month. Please pass the word on.

Worked myself to death on this.
Proof of Destruction: The Musk Insurrection As It Happened (Book 1, The Musk Trilogy)
Elon Musk’s insurrection is the worst attack on our government since the Civil War. What’s being done by unelected rogue operators in D.C. is an assault on democracy more dangerous than January 6.

Hey old man, you just sit at the desk and look kingly and let the President talk to the nice people from the press.
This sure as hell looks like a coup.

I've never seen such devotion in a droid before.
Habba: "You have to respect the executive branch. And that is the branch that President Donald Trump runs. And he is running it. He is it. And he has to be able to do his job."

Now that it's officially a coup, what are you going to do about it?

If DOGE halts Social Security and Veterans Disability payments they will cause immense and undue hardship on millions of vulnerable Americans. There will be hunger and homelessness that will force the states into emergency action that will be unsustainable.

While we're screaming about Musk tearing apart entire US agencies, prisoners are quietly being flown to Gitmo. We are so distracted by the onslaught to our government, the concentration camp is sliding under the radar without any oversight whatsoever.
February 11, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Trump and Musk are like two bratty kids playing Monopoly. They make up their own rules, steal everyone else's money and when they don't get their way, they flip the board over and scatter all the pieces.

Have they erected the sign at Guantanamo reads, "El Trabajo Te Hará Libre" yet?

I have mesothelioma, an aggressive and incurable cancer. That really pisses me off since I likely won't live long enough to see our country returned to the people. On the bright side, I won't have to suffer through years of repression and authoritarianism.

Planes falling out of the sky
Children left to starve
FBI decimated
USAID destroyed
Treasury compromised
OPM invaded
Concentration camps

This list goes on and Orange Hitler & Muskrat haven't been in office for a full month yet.

It's a coup, plain & simple.

So much for the protest votes.
In case you took a 20-minute nap and missed it, apparently America is now going to be invading and seizing Gaza and holding it permanently according to co-president Trump, which (someone check me on this) pretty sure is unilateral war and therefore a war crime

Trump is going to start WWIII if he invades Greenland, a NATO country. Or would the EU let them dangle?

If we revolt against this coup en masse, Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law and order the military to put down any protests or attempts to overthrow the WH. Our only hope is for military leadership to refuse to act and I wouldn't bet against that.

@sethabramson.bsky.social vents his frustration over the lack of any meaningful response to the internal coup taking place. The entire thread is worth reading.
Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

How Tariffs Work
February 3, 2025 at 2:36 AM
If President Musk cuts off SS and veteran's payments you're going to see a whole bunch of people face homelessness. That's a lot of people. Those same folks are going to revolt because they have nothing to lose.

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress?

Asking for a nation.
