Gayer than Elton John. I write (sometimes). I read (all the time). Whatever forever. Trans lives matter. Black lives matter.

"Fraud" = "Money I want in my pocket even though it already belongs somewhere else."
tl;dr They're just lying. Go figure.

Analysis | Trump and Musk can’t seem to locate much evidence of fraud
They keep justifying their bold moves as combating fraud, but they have been unable so far to point to much of anything that’s actually fraudulent.

You know how they were saying this would be the most important election of our lifetimes? I'm starting to think they were right.

Which laws, Bigot McFascist? Be specific. You know more about breaking the law than most people, so help us out here.
Trump’s DC US Attorney says that “Any threats, confrontations, or other actions in any way that impacts” what Elon Musk’s people are doing will be investigated by his office since that “may break numerous laws.”

If he doesn't have charging authority (hint: he doesn't), then who gives AF what this psychotic dipshit screams on social media?
I'M CHARGING DONALD TRUMP WITH BEING A DUMBASS FASCIST BIGOT! ARREST HIM!
See, it didn't work for me either.

⚠️ Mike Flynn is threatening to charge people in the US intelligence community with treason if they obstruct the nominations of Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, or Robert Kennedy.
Flynn has no official position in the current Trump admin but appears to be coordinating with Trump and Musk in some capacity.

In case you're not understanding what's happening for our trans and nonbinary siblings right now, read this. And then keep reading and listening to people who are telling you about it. And then get in the way of it every way you can, especially if you're a person who's safe otherwise.
I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

My job depends on medical research. The world depends on research.
Last thing about this for now. To all the rich Disruptogasmic Innovationalisticalismists out there: you could support the science Bigot McFascist is trying to kill. That would be disruptive!
Researchers are terrified of Trump’s freeze on science. The rest of us should be, too.
Government support is essential to science. The Trump administration kneecapped it.

Trump put 80 immigrants on a deportation flight which cost US taxpayers almost $1,000,000, just to have them denied entry upon landing in Mexico.
Isn’t this exactly what the Department of Government Efficiency is supposed to be stopping?
