Elon Musk just posted “no more white guilt”.

The man is personally responsible for killing 600,000 people by cutting USAID.

He bought an election & helped usher in fascism.

He’s not capable of feeling guilt, white or otherwise.

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”

We can bail out the auto industry, major airlines, big banks, farms. But god forbid it’s students in debt from the predatory private loan market or hardworking families making $7.25 an hour amid greedflation.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

“Our brve press departmen NEVER make typo!”
Seems a little wild that DHS would call me out by name and say that this scene is offensive to Christians. I like seperation in my church and state. Moreover, what's offensive to Christians is the dehumanization that DHS and ICE are practicing. That is evil and an offense to God - not my nativity.

The implication here is that HAD Ellison & Weiss known about the MTG segment, they would have intervened somehow- maybe even censored it-- to keep Trump happy. These folks should not have control of any news outlet, not a single one. Outrageous.
David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.

Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.
