This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Three critical things precede decline into a totalitarian state.
1) Crack down on journalists, researchers, civil society orgs.
2) Oligarchs align with and became synonymous with government.
3) Capture of the courts and law enforcement
With enough time we know the destination for this path.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

It is almost like this was predictable and yet there seems to be no self-reflection by the legacy media. Perhaps that is why they are losing trust, influence and customers.
During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

The revolution started with an oligarch taking over the country and plundering it until there was almost nothing left, while the rest of the world welcomed them. It was regular people who stood up and said enough; were met with bombs. The revolution is just and the liberation of Syria is necessary.

From SEMAFOR (below): The Chinese Communist Party has now admitted that it was using the Musk Algorithm to spread disinformation—and that the rise of Bluesky is a major threat to it. This tells us everything we need to know about what Twitter was and is—and who the new co-POTUS Elon Musk was and is.
