The idiocy here is immense.
Musk is more of an anti-European than Putin.
No European governments should do business with any of his companies (looking at you Italy - and Starlink).
He’s just here to pull down everything decent and collaborative, so that he can control the pieces.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

"The abuse of the word 'antisemitism' is meant to generate a sense of plausibility, confuse opposition, and create more space for the actual phenomenon of antisemitism. And this misdirection is an integral part of the effort to replace a constitutional order with an authoritarian one."
Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act is a profound risk to everyone's civil liberties. By invoking the AEA and insisting migrants are part of an “invasion,” POTUS is:
❌ flouting the law
❌ abusing power against Congress’s intent
❌ seeking more unchecked authority
