Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg will attend Trump’s inauguration and sit up with Trump’s Cabinet nominees and elected officials.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Fucking ghouls.

Quite the flex when you're holding disaster money hostage to gain political advantages. No irony in that the biggest recipients of blue state tax dollars are demanding these concessions.
The Republicans who have said there should be strings attached to disaster aid while LA burns include:

Speaker Mike Johnson
Sen John Barrasso
Sen Tommy Tuberville
Rep Warren Davidson
Rep Ronny Jackson
Rep Zach Nunn
NEWSMAX: Why should other states be bailing out California for choosing the wrong people to run their state?

TUBERVILLE: We shouldn't be ... they don't deserve anything to be honest with you unless they show us they're gonna make some changes.

Disputed origins, but the concept is sound, especially as we enter the political hellscape of Idiocracy, The Sequel.

Just a preview of the destructive bullshit we'll be privy to for the next four years. Lots of Project 2025 momentum, as if Trump's antics weren't bad enough. I am so g-damned ashamed of this country.

They are counting on us to forget, because we do.

This year I'm voting with my dollar and taking it to Costco and Winco.
Think different in 2025:

Find and support businesses that are actually doing the right thing. Money talks—spend it where it matters.

NEW: 58% Millennials and Gen Z say they don't have enough saved to retire and half of Americans have NO savings at all.

What happened? A banking consultant you've never heard of named Ted Benna killed American retirement.

Along with Ronald Reagan, of course.

An accurate headline would read:

"In a blow to consumers, federal appeals court substitutes its judgment for FCC expertise and rule-making authority to allow internet providers to manipulate access to information for greater profit."

I've been thinking of ways to cope with the coming darkness (Trump) and how to honor the light (Carter). I signed up for a food bank shift on 1/9 and reached out to my main volunteer commitment to ask if I can volunteer teach for them this year. What are you all doing to cope?
