The real muscle behind Trump’s “populist” movement is the moneyed class — wealthy heiresses, tech bros, and crypto kings. They influence policy to favor the rich, and tell voters that immigrants and DEI have caused their economic plight.

Read the @ChrisO_wiki thread about how the Twitter/X algorithm was altered in mid-July to subject users to more pro-Trump content whether they sought it or not. xitter.cf/ChrisO_wiki/status/185…

6/ The analysis also found a large increase in view counts, retweet counts, and favourite counts, for Republican-leaning accounts, but not for Democrat-leaning ones. Again, the break point for this appears to be July 13, 2024, suggesting a platform-wide algorithmic change.

Meanwhile in Russia: Putin's presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev said, "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."

thinking about the lady I interviewed at a south carolina trump rally who said she was worried about all the “dangerous” people crossing the border. I said “you’re pretty far from the border” and she said “yeah, but I’m going on vacation soon.” I asked where.
she said mexico.

Black people are relatively well prepared for what’s about to happen because it’s happened to us before. America has done this to us before. It’s just about to widen the aperture to a bunch of people who ain’t used to it.

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

The great genius of the Putin-Musk-Trump ticket was to disguise historical geopolitical capture as standard partisan conflict. The bulk of Republicans and indeed the overwhelming majority of the American public has no idea of the severity or consequences of what has happened.

Well, trump won. Fear and anger won. And a country that was born as a racist patriarchy proved beyond any reasonable doubt it still is a racist patriarchy. Not sure when this ceases to be true…

Oh, you think it’s funny now? Wait until all that federal funding actually ends.
When the Head Start program is gone and your babies are sitting at home until kindergarten, guess who’s footing the daycare bill? That’s right, you. And don’t even think about free or reduced lunch, when they do go to school, because that’s on the chopping block too. They’re cutting those meal programs.
Oh, and here’s the cherry on top: when disaster strikes and you’re in desperate need of relief, brace yourself… because that funding’s getting gutted too.

Like I know I said I was going to sleep but…he staged a coup. At the capitol. He tried to overthrow the government. Do y’all not fucking understand that? Y’all could not possibly care about this country.

People hate black women so much that they chose an aspiring dictator. A proven shithead. A racist. A rapist.

They bought this site to make truth more inaccessible and, in fact, undesirable.
They bought America to keep one of their own out of jail, and likely themselves as well.
