A private citizen with unfathomable wealth and deep ties to the Chinese government has, with his cronies, seized control of the government and is canceling congressionally apportioned spending based on his whims.

As Trump steals our data, fires cops, releases his violent inmates onto our streets, and raises all of our grocery costs…remember this:

It’s a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to defend freedom than to get it back once it’s taken.

Get ready. He’s coming for your freedom.

[Sara Spector @Miriam2626]

If you think what’s happened in Texas is not going to happen to the blue states, you are incorrect. Look at the ease, Trump and Musk have seized control over our economy. The impotence of the democratic leaders is striking. Texas is coming to your state.

It is about 10:20 pm in McAllen along south 10th Street for a protest that started around 5:30 pm.

Participants are dancing, holding banners and honking their horns to lend their voice to those who are too fearful to speak of the mass deportations happening in their communities.

@CheriJacobus The entire world has been unfair to poor poor trumpy.

Retribution against the entire planet is all he cares about. And we’re along for the fucking ride. Anyone still calling themselves a Republican is a traitor to the Constitution.

[Daniel Schultz🟧 @DanielS42245695]

Where the hell are the Republicans that carry a copy of the Constitution around with them? Why don't they take them out and READ it. And start showing they are an equal branch of government!!!!!!!!!!!

@atrupar That would be violating another country’s sovereign territory. That’s the type of thing that starts wars. Of course you don’t understand things like that because you don’t understand why Ukraine is fighting. You probably don’t understand what happened in World War II.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

African countries rely on tariffs for revenue rather than income taxes because they have low state capacity, which is why the US government relied on tariffs in the 1800s. This is a reflection of *weakness*, not *strength*

They are actually searching for the department that pays Anonymous and NAFO. The CIA director’s face must be priceless right now.

Why does the world’s richest man, a man no one voted for, have access to my Social Security number?

[Human☮🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🌊 @4HumanUnity]

Dear ALL,

The 2008 crash wasn’t an accident and it's happening again. It was a heist, executed in broad daylight, with the banks playing roulette with people’s homes, pensions, and life savings. And when the whole thing collapsed? The working class got wiped out while the billionaires made a killing.

How They Rigged the Game
Wall Street’s geniuses decided safe mortgages weren’t profitable enough, so they took risky subprime loans, bundled them up, and sold them off like foolproof investments. When the market tanked, 3.1 million families lost their homes and $6.4 trillion in wealth vanished. But the banks? They got a $700 billion taxpayer-funded bailout for crashing the economy. Your pension? Your savings? Gone.

Who Profited Off the Wreckage?
While families were evicted and retirement accounts burned, billionaire vultures circled. Blackstone and other hedge funds snatched up foreclosed homes by the thousands, turning them into rental goldmines. Warren Buffett and John Paulson made billions betting against homeowners. The stock market bounced back, but only for the rich. The bottom 90% never recovered.

Why This Was By Design
1- Banks got bailed out, homeowners got foreclosure notices.

2- Corporate landlords took over housing, driving prices sky-high.
3- The top 1% walked away with 95% of the post-crash wealth.

And Now?
It’s happening again. The economy tanks, prices soar, wages stagnate, and billionaires cash in on the chaos. They don’t fear a recession, they profit from it. While you're struggling to afford groceries, life saving medicine or roof over your head, they'll buying up your neighborhood for pennies on the dollar.

This isn’t capitalism, it’s a rigged casino where the house always wins. And until we wake up, they’ll keep rolling the dice with our future. STOP electing GREED! This is our nation not just the top few! WAKE UP NOW, before it's too late!

Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting down USAID Seems hypocritical that the felon & Elon are shutting down the office of a foreign aid but imposing tariffs on other countries who refuse to aid them https://t.co/EObWgFURj3

[Marlene Robertson🇨🇦 @marlene4719]

Shitler informed Americans today that his tariffs will cause them “pain” but that’s okay because in the end it will be worth it.

Worth it for who?

If Democrat leaning Billionaires don’t throw $100’s of millions into the three upcoming special House elections that could tip the House to Democrats, then they are NOT Democrats, but supporters of Fascism & Racism.

[Christian Bello @NoRiskNoParty]

Just calculated a 25% tariff importing Canadian lumber to Miami. Same wood, same quality - but now costs me $7,800 more.

My contractor profit margins = gone.

This is hurting American builders, not too sure if it's helping border security?
