Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers.
Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla.
The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.
They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

I have said before that the opposite of Christ isn’t the devil, the opposite of Christ is empire. And White Christian Nationalists have made it their entire program to create an earthly empire, with Christ is their excuse.

Empathy-- feeling with another, suffering with them, putting yourself in their shoes-- is a sin, for the White Christian Nationalist.

historical analysis happens just after the present. not that this doesn’t feel true.
the depressing thing about what's happening and to come is how fucking unnecessary all of it was. no war forced us into this, no massive recession. bunch of bored morons pushed the "break everything" button because of the man on the tv and the people on their phone told them, and people will die.
