5/ "Every time that a Mahmoud Khalil is grabbed off the street in the dead of night, or a Spanish soccer tattoo gets a man who thought he was escaping tyranny in his Venezuelan homeland thrown into an American-endorsed gulag instead, or the president of the United States threatens to defund an entire state because its female governor dared speak back to His Highness, the burner is turned up another millimeter or two."

Trump has bankrupted himself seven times.

Nebraska will be his eighth bankruptcy. The state cannot meet its financial obligations, as they have lost 80-90% of its undocumented workforce and now there is nobody to work the farms. They are about a month, maybe less, from defaulting.

Wyoming will be his ninth, for much the same reasons. Their undocumented workforce has fled for safer states and safer cities, and now there's nobody to work the cattle ranches. As these states' tax base shrinks, their economy shrinks, these red states' governments are quickly becoming unable to pay their bills.

Florida may be his tenth, with millions and millions of homes standing vacant and unsellable. The Florida real estate bubble is about to burst and burst hard.

These are the first few dominos. Watch them. As they go, so will the nation go.

Man, remember when Secretary of Defense was one of the most prestigious, serious positions in government and not just some unserious clown, owning duh libs? Like just a few months ago?

Thanks, Trump voters.

Tommy Christopher has Fox personality Brian Kilmeade falsely accuse two prominent Musk critics of urging protestors to blow up Teslas. Kilmeade goes on to call for their arrest.

No mention of whether the complete lack of evidence they ever said anything like that makes them even more dangerous.

PM #MarkCarney called a snap federal #election, seeking to capitalize on momentum that has his Liberals resurgent. The campaign is likely to come down to one question: Who can best handle #Trump & the threat he poses to #Canada?

Carney requested that the governor general dissolve #Parliament, which was to begin on Monday, & set elections for April 28. By #law, an election had to be held by Oct 20, but a prime minister may request Parliament’s dissolution at any time.

They were arrested during routine #ICE check-ins. Then they disappeared.

#Deportation proceedings are often shrouded in secrecy. But lawyers say the lack of information about the #Venezuelan migrants deported under the #AlienEnemiesAct is nearly unprecedented.

"When asked when he signed the proclamation invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, by which Trump claimed that Venezuela is invading the United States by sending alleged gang members over the border, Trump answered: 'I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it.' Trump was on his way to his golf club in New Jersey, and seemed to be handing off responsibility for the declaration to someone else, perhaps Secretary of State Marco Rubio."

@DemocracyMattersALot Bottom line - What are sane #Americans going to do about this? Will they quietly submit and shuffle off to #concentrationcamps like #JapaneseAmericans in 1942 or will they rise up and fight like colonists at #Lexington in 1775? Do #Americans still have balls or are they too brain dead from cheap beer and ESPN?

@TheConversationUS
The department of education is being smothered by christo-fascism that will erase evidence and reason to instead brainwash children into believing hateful lies to normalize oppression. The nazis write their manual.

From NPR:
President Trump has announced that Boeing will build the next generation of fighter jets.
"They will have unprecedented power," Trump said "America's enemies will never see [them] coming."
Trump is the 47th U.S. president and the jet is being called the F-47.
"The generals picked a title, and it's a beautiful number," Trump said. "Nothing in the world comes even close to it."

In mathematics, 47 is a prime number, meaning it is only divisible by 1 and itself. Now that makes sense.

@RegGuy @benroyce You didn’t lose everything to socialism. You lost it to authoritarianism.

Authoritarians can use socialism or oligarchy to make themselves the sole proprietors of wealth in a nation. USA is going the oligarchy route. Cuba and China went the socialist route. Russia started with one then switched to the other!

This is an important distinction IMO. Giving everybody in a country healthcare doesn’t turn it into a dictatorship.

Academia is a profession that is under siege currently because those same Big Tech oligarchs are actively attacking academia with politically motivated disinformation campaigns and policies promoting its destruction and disempowerment. We MUST fight back against these exploitative practices.

"Trump’s administration is thinking about getting rid of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s division that focuses on HIV prevention and giving those responsibilities to the Department of Health and Human Services. There’s apparently another potential plan, a source told NBC News, that would cut up to $700 million from the #CDC’s HIV division."

Can you even imagine having your head so far up your ass you think people "won't miss a social security check?"
