Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:
1. Your countries all suck.
2. None of you know what you are doing.
3. The US is better at everything.
4. All because of me.
5. I’m right about everything.
6. You should listen to me & do what I say.
7. And give me lots of awards.

Congressional Republicans:
As you watch this, do you feel good? Do you feel proud of your party leader?
Can you look your constituents in their faces and say that this is what our nation's leader should look like to the world?
Of course you can. Your souls are long since departed.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

We now know that an NSA‑approved audit of the 2024 election was buried—an audit that confirms what 41% of Democratic voters already suspected: Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz won the 2024 election—and it wasn’t even close.

Math doesn’t lie—people do. A buried NSA‑authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

It’s time we all start talking way more about Peter Thiel and his company, Palantir. He wants to hide in the shadows. We won’t let him.
🚨 Techno-fascist billionaire Peter Thiel is building the surveillance state of Trump’s dreams.
His company Palantir is now working with Trump’s regime to track ALL Americans using AI.
This isn’t sci-fi. It’s happening. And Thiel HATES when you talk about it. So talk about it.

North Carolina voted for Trump in all three of his POTUS elections.
As North Carolinians struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene, Trump just denied their FEMA request.
Conservative voters: Understand this—he does not care about you. He never has. Stop voting for him. He will destroy you, too.
