Trump’s second-term economy isn’t about revival—it’s about extraction. What looks like chaos is a strategy of control, profit, and dispossession. Crisis becomes a tool, not a failure. #AuthoritarianCapitalism #PoliticalEconomy #TrumpEconomy #RegulatoryCapture #Neoliberalism

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.
Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences.
The public must turn on this madness and soon.
