WATCH: Trump tells troops he’s restoring army bases to Confederate names — then they cheer as he says he’s going to “liberate” Los Angeles and they boo the governor, the “fake news”, etc.

Politicizing the army. If you think things can’t get darker, watch these clips.

This is a very good read. Everyone who is concerned about what Musk is doing to the United States needs to read this.

And those who think Musk is a good guy doing good work, need to read this even more to wake up.

Elon Musk, apartheid, and America's new boycott movement
If you think mass protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)
