Censorship is alive and well in the American tech oligarchy. 🇺🇸

Will X allow ads for the trailer for my film “Musk,” about the self-proclaimed “free-speech absolutist?”

This is for TX Crockett supporters. I like her. A lot. But she’s not in the race. I’m not asking you to trade your feeling for her to Talarico. I’m begging you to consider your feelings about being represented by Paxton! Pls don’t stay home. Pls vote blue ALL down the ticket!🙏

This guy is the CEO of Flock
He takes pictures of you and hands them over to the cops
But, he doesn’t want you to know what he looks like
PLEASE do NOT share his photo!

One of the most shocking and stupid moves of late: George W Bush took part as a “special guest” in a fundraiser, in Dallas, for Republican senate candidates.
So he was unwilling to speak up after Jan 6, and unwilling to campaign against Trump, but happy to support the very senators enabling the agenda that is destroying democracy.

The worst place to be in America isn't poor. It's middle class with no savings.
Open enrollment texted me, so I went down a Medicaid rabbit hole, and I need everyone to understand how broken this is.
If you qualify for Medicaid, a procedure that costs thousands barely costs you anything. Doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions, basically covered.
Make $45k a year with "good" employer insurance? Congrats, you're paying hundreds a month in premiums just to hit a $5,000 deductible before anything kicks in. One ambulance ride and your emergency fund is gone. You don't have an emergency fund? Even better, now it's medical debt.
And here's the part that breaks my brain: the system is designed so climbing out is a trap too. Get a raise that pushes you just over the line and you lose coverage overnight. Try to save money while on disability and they cap you at about $2,000 in assets. Poor people are locked in. Middle class people are bleeding out. The only people winning are the ones rich enough to never think about any of this.
We work full time to be one bad diagnosis away from ruin. This country isn't failing the poor or the middle class. It's farming both.
We are so cooked.

Anyone watching Fox for the past few weeks would think Hasan Piker is the DNC. The network has called him the base of the Dem. party. Love him or hate him he’s a critic of the Dem. Party. He has both fans and critics who are left of center. Fox CONSTANTLY talks about him.

Incredible. First @SecMullinDHS claimed that @DHSgov identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials said, no no no, that’s just people we flagged, here’s the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens.
All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle.
"The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

Fox News spends all day telling you communism is evil, then Bret Baier, Laura Ingraham, and Jesse Watters put on tuxedos and attend a state dinner honoring China’s communist leader.
They are so full of shit.

Trump in 2011: "We have the president of China come a few months ago to Washington and we gave him a state dinner. Now, when people are screwing you, you don't give them state dinners, you don't do it.”

Hey @MarshaBlackburn maybe at the UT game you can ask Trump about rolling out the red carpet for China?
Kinda awkward after you literally crushed fortune cookies and did that whole racist ad and said y'all would be so tough on them😬

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

TRUMP RAIDED WILDFIRE MONEY TO PAY OFF THE FEDERAL WORKERS HE BULLIED INTO QUITTING
Read that twice
Congress set aside money through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act specifically to clear hazardous fuels before they burn
The Forest Service took that money and used it to fund Trump's Deferred Resignation Program instead — his buyout scheme to gut the federal workforce
Not a rumor. Congressional testimony
The result: 23% fewer acres of hazardous fuels treated last year compared to 2024
Then the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness caught fire
Over 60,000 acres burned since early July
Retired forestry officials went on record saying stalled "shovel-ready" projects would have stopped or slowed this exact fire
So Trump got what he wanted — federal employees pushed out the door, government "smaller"
And rural communities got what they got — thinner crews, fewer fuel breaks, more acres of ash
This isn't a budget line item. This is a direct line from a personnel purge to a wilderness on fire
Congress appropriated the money for one purpose. Trump's administration weaponized it for another
Every acre that burned is the receipt
They are not going to stop cutting corners on your safety to fund their ideology
And they are betting you're too exhausted to notice which fire started where the money used to be

A PSA: do NOT download the White House app. It is doing something very weird with the sandbox permissions you give it. Which I’m not sure yet, but is likely against every service term and developer agreement on earth. I downloaded it so you don’t have to onto an air gapped old iPad. It is phoning home, asking for way too much personal data, and attempting to bypass location services permissions. Aside from the propaganda, it’s a security nightmare.

The Statue of Liberty was restored in the 80s, the Washington Monument needed repairs in 2011 after an earthquake, again in 2019 for elevators and security, and the Lincoln Memorial restoration began in 2016
Not a single location was renamed for the administration overseeing it.

Putting one of America’s most self-serving narcissists in the White House is having predictable negative consequences.
"It's sick,” Trump said, “I mean, there's something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative stories.”
A country that “allows” people to write negative stuff — or anything else that may irritate those in power — is called America. The freedom to do so is enshrined in the very First Amendment to our Constitution.
