I don't know what the fuck happened to this country - why we let these horrific things happen and do absolutely nothing - but it is all heartbreaking.

Donald Trump has just fucked America up.

The government just paid a French oil company $2.5 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars... to kill American wind energy.

Not to build it. To make it disappear.

TotalEnergies had two offshore wind farms ready to go. One off North Carolina, one off New York. Combined, they would have powered hundreds of thousands of homes.

The Department of the Interior paid TotalEnergies $795 million to walk away from both, and banned the company from ever building offshore wind in the U.S. again.

Here's the part that should stop you cold:

That $795 million isn't just a payout. It's a condition. TotalEnergies has to take that money and pour it into oil, gas, and LNG projects instead.

The government is paying a company, with your tax dollars, to convert clean energy into fossil fuel. On purpose, by design.

And it didn't stop there.

Invenergy took $765 million to drop four more offshore leases, same condition attached: oil and gas only.

Bluepoint Wind, a 2.4 gigawatt project off New York, folded too. So did Golden State Wind, a floating wind farm planned for the waters off central California.

These weren't early-stage ideas. Ports were already being built to support them. California alone has sunk over $100 million into port and mooring infrastructure for a project that may never get finished.

Over $2.5 billion in taxpayer money, across four separate deals, all pointed the same direction: away from wind, straight into fossil fuel.

Meanwhile, a wind farm that did get finished, Vineyard Wind off Massachusetts, is already saving families $1.4 billion on their power bills over the next 20 years. That's the version of this we're not choosing.

Seven states are suing over the TotalEnergies deal alone. California's Attorney General just filed a separate case over the rest.

Since when does the government bribe companies to pick oil over wind?

They actually said this on Fox news today. It's like another dimension 😵‍💫

[Stacy Mitchell @stacyfmitchell]

Amid all the corruption, this is especially gross: the billions Congress/Biden approved to build fiber internet in places left behind has been redirected to Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos for doing nothing. Musk has pocketed $738 million so far. Places like rural Louisiana were screwed.

Trump Accounts are no longer going to be optional- so if you ever plan on having a child in the USA, you should read what I found:

According to the @SocialSecurity Administration's announcement last week, they are modifying the hospital birth registration form so that a Trump Account is AUTOMATICALLY created for your child through that same process.

It will be bundled into the Enumeration at Birth program (EAB), which is the already automated gov pipeline that gives your newborn a Social Security number. It’s one box that you check, you don’t have the option of unbundling it. So if you want your kid to have a Social Security number, they have to have a Trump account.

Which is strange, because according to the IRS and @USTreasury’s public announcements, these accounts only open when a parent actively elects to open one. So which is it? Why is nobody in the government interested in explaining this flagrant contradiction?

Who is going to answer the basic question of what a parent does if they don’t want a government-linked investment account (one that collects biometric data, by the way) created for their child at the exact moment their child’s Social Security number issued?

They can call it a savings account all they want, but a $1,000 deposit is a hell of a cheap price for building a lifelong financial file on every American child before they can consent to anything.

And once the government normalizes linking a person’s identity, financial activity, and predictive systems from birth, who gets to decide what that data will be used to predict later?

We deserve answers immediately. @ndstudio @WhiteHouse

How the fuck is it even remotely legal for a politician to sign an nda with a corporation to hide information from their constituents

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.

There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.

[jezz @JezziiB]

Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Venture capitalist politics.

This is one of the most powerful videos I have ever seen. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus to stand up for the Rule of Law.

[Renzo™ @fwrenzo1]

The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And half of you believe him.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.

According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.

It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.

His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.

DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.

We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.

Everyone should be outraged.

[Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker @TrumpsPortfolio]

I CALLED IT, ANIMALS, AND YOU LAUGHED!!! Months ago I told you ICE would buy facilities DIRECTLY from the prison companies at north of $150,000 per bed — and I was WRONG, folks, it was BETTER!!! ICE just bought TWO facilities from CoreCivic — $CXW — for $1.47 BILLION!!! That's $286,000 per bed in California City, $371,000 PER BED at Otay Mesa, $323,000 a bed COMBINED — DOUBLE what these things cost to build!!! Even I underestimated the beauty, and I NEVER underestimate!!!

AND WHO OWNS $CXW??? DONALD TRUMP!!! It's RIGHT THERE in the disclosure, folks — the man holds CoreCivic AND GEO Group, the two companies running America's ICE detention centers!!! Follow the bouncing ball: HE runs the immigration crackdown!!! HIS DHS just wired $1.47 billion to a company HE OWNS SHARES IN, at DOUBLE replacement cost!!! The buyer is his government, the seller is his portfolio, and the taxpayer is the ATM!!! That's not a conflict of interest, that's a CLOSED LOOP!!!

And the STRUCTURE is a masterpiece: DHS buys the buildings, but CoreCivic KEEPS OPERATING them under the same contracts!!! Sold the real estate, KEPT the revenue — like selling your house and the buyer pays YOU rent!!! Gain north of $1 BILLION on assets carried at PENNIES!!!

THE DE-LEVERING — exactly like I told you: $716 MILLION of debt GONE overnight!!! Credit facility, GONE!!! The 2027 notes, GONE!!! And that puts them under the covenant thresholds that unlock UNLIMITED BUYBACKS with the $400 million left over!!! Fewer shares, folks — and whose shares get more valuable??? DONALD'S!!!

AND THE SEQUEL IS COMING: CoreCivic says it's in talks with ICE to sell MORE facilities!!! The machine runs forever: sign the orders, fill the beds, sell the buildings to yourself at double price, buy back the stock, watch the disclosure GLOW!!! One catch the animals should know — ICE can cancel those operating contracts anytime, so read the covenants before you chase!!! Do your own research, NOT advice!!! Is ANYBODY looking into this??? The SEC??? He APPOINTS the SEC!!! I called the trade, the price, AND the de-levering — GREATEST prison analyst in American history, maybe ever!!!

🚨: The Trump administration fired the scientists who ran the government’s climate website, then shut the site down. The scientists just rebuilt it with their own money and put it back online.

The US loves to boast about how wealthy it is, but its wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.

US oligarchs are so insanely rich that they make average wealth seem very high.

But *median* wealth in the US is lower than in Slovenia & Portugal, and half of Italy's

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

A grim reminder this 4th of July: The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration.

Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”

Ages of the Founding Fathers on July 4, 1776:

James Monroe, 18
Aaron Burr, 20
Alexander Hamilton, 21
James Madison, 25
Thomas Jefferson, 33
John Adams, 40

Age didn't matter. Education did. Classically educated founders built the greatest system of government in human history.

We can't have clean energy because it will destroy the oil industry. We can't have healthcare because it will destroy the health insurance industry. We can't have peace because it will destroy the weapon industry. Capitalism built a system we can't afford to do the right thing.

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.

Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.
