Musk’s Direct-to-Cell constellation and the U.S. election.

Background: This began in 2022 as “digging,” when Musk launched his bid to purchase Twitter at $20B over value, just 49 days after Putin invaded Ukraine.

A convo re NATO considering Article 5 over Cyber attacks prompted the original post.

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

I want to help make a government that isn’t evil and works so well that you don’t really think about it
I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for in a politician but not having every day be a nightmare of horrors would be pretty high up so someone should run on that

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Trump's illegal war against Venezuela, regardless of the severity of Maduro's regime, will give Putin, Xi and their supporters ‘legitimacy’ and pretexts for their own invasions. Just a month ago, Putin was supporting Maduro.

He had put us on a very dangerous trajectory. This is not what his voters voted for.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

When America abdicates its role as a defender of freedom and becomes the oppressor, it emboldens dictators everywhere.

We are about to learn some hard lessons.

One being how instrumental we used to be at preventing the world from descending into madness.

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

This is a good idea! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said, “If the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”

How anyone believes he was legitimately elected is baffling. In 2016, 59% of election equipment malfunctioned in Detroit, and Russian interference in our electoral system was confirmed. In 2024, the down-ballot data in swing states is statistically absurd—and they BRAG that they stole it.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

I don’t know how long it will take or how much worse it will get, but I believe we will not go down as the generation that let it all slip away.

I believe it in my bones.

It keeps me going. It keeps me fighting.

I hope you believe it too.

Bring on 2026.

Let’s roll.

Despite our mistakes, despite our flaws and differences, despite the unscrupulous billionaires and their inexhaustible resources, I believe.

I believe we will unite as a people against this scourge of fascism.

2025 was a year where many of our worst fears came to pass.

We watched a madman get back into the White House, who let billionaires hijack our federal government, slash our benefits to fund their government handouts & tax cuts, while stealing our data to feed their Orwellian surveillance systems
