The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

A fmr. U.S. Ambassador to Hungary sounded the alarm this week that the U.S. is sliding into Orbán-like authoritarianism. Fascism expert Jason Stanley says some "elites" are normalizing autocracy -- “it's the acceptance of the premises of the Trump administration in order to escape its wrath.”
Ex-Amb. to Hungary warns of U.S. authoritarianism, Prof. Stanley says self-interest is the cause.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman issued a glaring warning to Americans in a NYT op-ed about the dangers of acquiescing to what he says are President Trump’s “authoritarian advances.” Noting the parallels with the slide in democracy under Viktor Orbán in Hungary, fascism expert and philosophy professor Jason Stanley says national elites prioritize their individual agendas over the good of the country, “without seeing that what you’re supporting is authoritarianism.”

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

First of all, the “America Party” is a stupid name for a political party. Kind of like renaming The Gulf of Mexico “The Gulf of America.” Amateur Trump move. Hard no, Elon. Be better.

Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)

Do not let up, repeat this every day to anyone that will listen:

If gutting Medicaid was truly good for the country, they’d roll it out before the midterms, they’d campaign on it.

Funny how their "reward" schedules itself for later.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I truly hope this puts a definitive end to the perpetual insistence by Democrats that they can compromise with Republicans. You can't. These people are extreme, depraved, and shameless. They just stripped healthcare from 17 million people to give themselves a tax cut.
