The oligarchs will use Trump to introduce aggressive austerity and crash our standard of living.
Now is the time to prepare, get your affairs and mind right, and start working on solidarity with coworkers and your community.

Morning Joe bowing to Trump wasn’t an isolated incident. You’re going to see a lot of people normalizing authoritarianism.
It’s time to make a decision for yourself as to whether you’ll accept this and see things as they really are.

Congressman Gerry Connolly: “Kash Patel is delusional. His rhetoric about the public servants who work at the FBI and the DOJ is dangerous and deeply corrosive. He has no business being anywhere near the office of the Director of the FBI.”
BREAKING: Congressman Dan Goldman just demolished Donald Trump’s nominations of Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel. These people are here to weaponize government against ordinary working Americans.
One year ago, Kash Patel, while sniffling repeatedly as he does in every interview (he just can’t shake that cold) promised to prosecute Hunter for new crimes. Then Trump names him FBI Director. He told you ahead of time he’s going after Hunter. So tired of the pearl clutchers.
Trump pardoned Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, his own family, and more, and Trump supporters loved it.
I don’t want to hear a word from MAGA about Biden pardoning Hunter.
It's terrible politics and precedent but I'm going to be honest and say that the Trump team has been brutally clear they want revenge on their enemies, they are obsessed with Hunter in particular, and that would weigh like hell on me if I were his father and could protect him.
Mike Johnson is about to have a 1-2 seat majority in the House. The current Congress is the most ineffective in history. Imagine how useless the House will be with only a one or two seat majority? Trump and Johnson will get nothing passed and Hakeem Jeffries is only two special election pickups away from being Speaker.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe rips into the “terrible” nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director:
“The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate. What we should be really thinking about right now is what does this signal in terms of Trump's intent for the FBI…use it as a tool for the president's political agenda…”
Continuing in the line of "anti" nominees for various posts, Trump announces firebrand FBI hater Kash Patel for FBI director. He is the analogue to Gaetz -- hard to imagine a single more threatening and adversarial figure for the FBI in the entire country.
CNN: FBI director Christopher Wray "has three years remaining in his 10-year term and would have to resign or be fired to create a vacancy." The FBI says Wray remains focused "on the men and women of the FBI, the people we do the work with, and the people we do the work for."
Here’s where we’re at: Trump has declared war on this country. He’s declared war on the men & women of the DOJ, the FBI, the intelligence community, & the military. He’s purposely picked people to destroy these agencies. This is not normal. This must not be accepted. The people in these agencies, who work every day to keep Americans safe, must either resign or fight back. The rest of us must now publicly call out Trump for what he is - an enemy of this country - and be the resistance.
