The people who have been upending our progressive America, for a century, aren’t asshats like Elon Musk. He was third in giving to Trump. Meet the American .1% family that invested in a Nazi Germany win, the Watergate burglary, and now, Trump.

Meet the Mellons.

Bad news for all of y’all who think that the #EpsteinFiles are going to amount to anything. The SCOTUS didn’t just bulletproof Trump from prosecution. They gave him a walk on INVESTIGATION at the Federal level. He steals, with impunity.

The [SCOTUS] ruling did something more severe than protect presidents from prosecution. It prevents prosecutors from investigating whether an act qualifies as official in the first place. The investigation stops before it can begin.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social gutting healthcare has nothing to do with Obama. Everything to do with the Mellons, Trump’s principal givers and eugenics.

Republicans Defy. You Die. But why?
21st century eugenics, the myth of “purity breeding” of humans has morphed from the lab to the legislature, Wall Street, and the White House. It’s not a mistake. It’s a battle plan.

So, to recap:

Trump wants to throw the book at a protestor tossing a sandwich at a fascist thug, but pardons fascist thugs who killed a capitol police officer and triggered suicides in many more.

Glad the jury had people smarter than MAGAts on it

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

@Maddow, for a Fulbright, you need to slow down and THINK about the moving parts. Timothy Mellon isn’t Trump’s buddy. He’s point man in the Mellons recapture of America. Liberalism is now a bubble, not a branch.

Mellon, not MUSK.

Meet the Mellons.

@maddow.msnbc.com appreciated some truth about Comcast. Wish you would be more vocal about them taking “NBC” out of the channel name, to appease Trump. Also the literal “whitening” of the talent lineup, Reid and Wagner, out, didn’t get enough comment from you either.

Gravitas is good.

Use it.

This is why you should be at #nokings today.
This should make us angry and it should get us to speak out against what is happening all across our country.

Social Darwinists believe they are rich by by their genetics. They believe you are poor for the same reason. They also believe that you have no right to be here if you’re not serving them.

Good time to get out to a #NoKings protest
