Read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. What it reveals about Zuckerberg and Sandburg is much worse than I expected.

“The concentration camp the Trump administration built in Florida is being marketed as normal.…As concentration camps become more common, they will offend fewer people — and they will be called normal…you must remember that normal is not the same as right, no more than law is the same as justice.”

Thank goodness someone’s saying what should be obvious. No way in hell is Musk gone.
📄 NEW: Mass media is pushing the false narrative that Musk has 'left' government to focus on his companies. But the reality is that Musk fronts a cartel of related and accelerating interests. My latest.

So Jim Banks R-Ind, the Senator who told the newly laid off HHS employee he probably “deserved it” is the 291st most popular politician. I just can’t imagine why. Maybe he deserves to get voted out.

Often when I warned about this attack, people couldn’t comprehend it because it harms the GOP and their supporters.

You never understood: they don’t think dollars are “real.” Do you get it now? This is an effort to kill the dollar and replace it with “hard” currency.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
