The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.

Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

It almost seems like they went out of their way to hurt the victims even more, while protecting the predators.

This is why winning the midterms itself isn't a strategy. Trump plans to ignore the results. Acknowledging this doesn't make you a doomer, but it does mean you have to plan for worst case scenarios. We gotta be ready, especially since they're telling us the plan outright.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

They can’t abolish or defund ICE. There’s a safety mechanism in the big ugly bill that funds ICE in a shutdown. ICE is funded until 2029 at double capacity.

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

Beware.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Also from this interview:

"In the past, Republicans have waited us out because they thought we would break. This would be a dangerous moment for us to do that because of the specific moral question being put to the nation: Does the president of the United States get to murder American citizens?"
Chris Murphy to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "If people don’t see us fighting on something as existential as whether we condone the federal govt murdering our own citizens, there will be a mass withdrawal from politics altogether. This is a critical moment."

When Trump says the problem in the Alex Pretti murder was the presence of a gun in the hands of a citizen, it's a good reminder that Trump really has no ideology. He believes in money and power, nothing else. He's a mob boss who exploited other people's ideology to seize the White House.

I’ve been guilty of this, but I agree and am going to try to stick to this basic standard.
you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices.

... also photogs and journos gotta eat so share their work.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

The killings will continue until you give us the state voter rolls
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.
