If you’re outraged when someone preaches the teachings of Christ in Church, you may be on the wrong side of Jesus.

Today was a reboot of January 30, 1933, when a group of elite German business people helped catapult Hitler to power thinking they could control him — and then did nothing when they couldn’t.

Musk’s Hitler salute was just a brief moment of honesty.

January 30th, 1933: The Reboot
Gullible greedy elites place their bets on a demagogue who promises to make the country great again — and lower their taxes

And that is how NASA is dismantled, privatized, and becomes a subsidiary of Space X. Unsurprising. But fuuuuuuuuck.
Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with. The nominated NASA director is a high-school dropout billionaire who is pals with Musk. He has no business at NASA.

Call to action: please call your Senators (202-224-3121) and demand they oppose this legislation. It is presented as a bill to stop terrorist activities, but gives the executive carte blanche to dismantle any nonprofit group it deems unfavorable.
The House passed H.R. 9495, a bill that would give Trump unchecked power to go after his political opponents.

Because Democrats still control the Senate, the real risk is that the bill gets attached to some other piece of must-pass legislation.

The latest from professor @heathercoxrichardson : " his picks seem designed to destroy the institutions of the democratic American state and replace those institutions with an authoritarian government whose officials are all loyal to Trump."

The Alien Enemies Act was shameful and dangerous when it was enacted in 1798. It’s even more so today. It must be repealed or overturned.
Latino Immigrants Are Not ‘Alien Enemies’
Some politicians want to abuse a dangerous presidential power to deport noncitizens without safeguards or due process.

They elected a rapist, fraud, felon, traitor and he is going to use our tax dollars to surround himself with rapists, frauds, felons and traitors.

Who could have guessed?

I walked by my tweenager’s room and heard him reading “Green Eggs and Ham” to his gaming friends on a FaceTime call. Holding up the book and showing the illustrations. His friends were loving it. Wholesome Friday night.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?
