Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

Trump nominated a guy to the bench. Everyone said he was a lazy ideologue with bad temperament and the usual suspects dismissed that as liberal rubbish. Anyway he just issued a dissent from a Ninth Circuit opinion in the form of a YouTube video with Old Spice ads in which he waves guns around.

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech."

This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Enough about the price of eggs, from everyone. Cut the shit. The economy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as they designed it—to keep you desperate, distracted, and exhausted while they cash in.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.

The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.

Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

I’m telling you

Trump is going to cut Social Security

Severely

And claim the reduction is all “fraud, waste and abuse”

Trump says he’s found “probable fraud” in the Social Security system

The road to authoritarianism is paved with this trope—the dire pending calamity that only the strongman has seen, and which only he can solve.
Beware Trump’s Talk of Coming “Emergencies”
Far-right rhetoric is suffused with dark talk of impending calamities. It’s a favorite trope of autocrats who are, themselves, the calamity.

Dear maga,

The global right, who used to admire Trump, has absolutely turned on him and now is openly saying he works for Russia.

The right in Canada has dropped in the polls and now openly distances themselves from you. Same with Germany and UK

You suck

I'm totally depressed by Trump and Vance's treatment of Zelensky in the Oval today. Seems like payback for the 2019 phone call that led to Trump's first impeachment. We can't forget that Ukrainians have been fighting and dying for their nation's land and people since 2014.

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

There is zero reporting about what’s going on in right wing media. None. Please talk to family and friends AND go to right wing media to post there about what Trump and Musk are doing, because the right is in the middle of a media blackout and they will not know what’s happening unless we tell them.
