What is Trump’s “Quantum Leap” ponzi scheme? It’s accerationism by another name. Listen to this week’s Gaslit Nation: Nerd Reich here or wherever you get your podcasts: https://gaslitnation.libsyn.com/nerd-reich
"A car is a golf cart that goes really fast." Yes, Musk was explaining to Trump WHAT A CAR IS!!
And is anyone concerned that the POTUS is making a car commercial for his "boss"? Actually advertising on his social media platform and on national TV that he is going to buy a Tesla so he can boost Tesla's plunging stock!

The US government pays Core Civic, a privately owned prison corporation, over $4,300 a month to keep ICE detainees. A disabled veteran with a 100% disability rating gets paid about $4,100 a month. It would only cost about $1000 to send most of the ICE detainees back to their country of origin on a commercial flight. The government could get a discount by buying in bulk. But the oligarchs who own the prisons wouldn't get all that tax money. #Oligarchy #PoliceState #Anarchism

#PoliticalDonations should be allowed *ONLY* from *individual* *citizens* of the country the politician is competing in (*no* companies, #corporations or #politicalactioncommittees should be able to contribute or #influence ). Donations from each individual should be capped to prevent the #superwealthy and #billionaires from having undue influence.
Anything else is a threat to #democracy.
#Musk Seeks to Put $100M Directly Into #Trump *Political Operation*
#ElonMusk has signaled he wants to make donations not just to his own #superPAC, …but to an outside entity.
It is unheard-of for a WH staffer, even one w/*part-time* status, to make such large contributions to support the agenda of the boss. But there has never been someone in the direct employ of an admin like Musk, the world’s richest person, who is leading Trump’s #DOGE.

In an attempt to make an #oligarchy or #dictatorship by our arrogant, #corrupt leaders, I truly believe we are watching the death of #capitalism to the extreme like we have known in the #usa as the entire world now just shifted.
#china just picked up #canada and #europe opportunistically and gutted the US energy markets.
We will either live in hell, or resemble a more socialist #economy and never trust extreme capitalism again.
I hope for the latter with all my heart.
I really have to stop harping on this but look at this shit. As long as Democrats do what their Wall Street donors want (and they always do) nothing will change.
They have no plans to be an opposition party because their funders are all A-OK with all the deregulation, money laundering, crypto scams, and massive tax cuts for the rich at the expense of everyone else.

No less than 76 #Democrats just voted with Republicans to overturn the #IRS's "defi broker rule" which would have required crypto firms like #MarcAndreessen's #Uniswap to collect information on their users and in so doing discourage the use of these platforms for #moneylaundering by criminals and rogue nuclear states (#NorthKorea *loves* Uniswap) and by the very wealthy to avoid paying #taxes.
The new wave of #memecoin scams like #TrumpCoin are also all facilitated/perpetrated by these decentralized trading platforms.
If any of these people are your representative you should do what you can to make sure they are primaried because they are not representing your interests. At a minimum call them and yell at them (this works better than most people think!)
The corruption of the US government by #crypto bros is extremely bipartisan.

“What Europe needs is a DOGE”
This is what the CEO of Deutsche Telekom, the owner of #TMobile, said.
If you’re a T-Mobile customer, maybe get ready to switch carriers.

"Hegseth orders Cyber Command to stand down on Russia planning"
Nothing says that the #USA & #Trump are cozying up to #Putin & #Russia than this.
What happened to the #Reagan motto of #TrustButVerify ? He must be spinning in his grave....
BTW, where did #Hegseth leave his coat and tie?

#Corporate #America is the only America that exists.
His [Putin’s] grandest campaign was a cyberwar to destroy the United States of America. For reasons having to do with American inequality, Russian oligarchy won an extraordinary victory in 2016. Because it did, inequality became a still greater American problem.
—Timothy Snyder, The Road To Unfreedom (2018)
