All payroll taxes are handled electronically. Who has complete control of the government’s computer systems? Musk and his baby bros will deduct whatever the hell they want from everybody’s paychecks. Companies will comply so they can stay in business. We’ve crossed the Rubicon. We are hostages now.
A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going:
If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes?
And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?
Waffle House is now charging 50 extra cents per egg as prices spike under Trump.
seriously, anyone anywhere in the world who listens to this psycho-clown for a few minutes realizes he's a deranged moron, a con-man who can't even lie worth a shit. being a bully his only selling point, for his cruelty cult. a criminal psychopath. be definitive.
Today’s front page of the largest newspaper in Quebec, Canada and they nailed it 🤣🎯
Well… unfortunately he’s demented. And it turns out Harris never really wanted to be president since she has already floated running for governor of California. Obama is too cool. Clinton is too ashamed. Pelosi is too old. No other real leaders are coming to mind at the moment….
Trump spent the weekend at Mar-a-Lago golfing while stock futures plummeted and our biggest trading partners planned retaliatory tariffs against the US and it was crickets from the Biden Delaware Watch Brigade.
For all of the apologizing on here about the limited power of Sen minority members, etc (a point we ofc understand), here is a clear example of the actual *use of your office* for public good
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
We have the war on drugs, which is a different way of saying the US government incarcerates people for doing drugs but give them little to no help to change their lives. Hell, we have pharmaceutical companies pushing drugs.
Germany has seen it before and knows what it looks like. America thinks that in 4 years time people can just vote it away if they don't like it.
Germany protesting
Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.
The hubris. The actual fucking audacity of people of the US to take credit for every-fuckin-thing. Comparatively, the US has the shittiest quality of life. We've been lied to for so long & some still believe that shit.
British Columbia is already pulling the American liquor.
Hearings on Monday about what #Musk is doing at Treasury would be helpful. Call them all in to testify; Musk, the career treasury people who were fired, and any other relevant folks. Take the lead Senator Warren.
No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.
Pay attention to the next move. This is a power grab from the American people. Our only leverage is the flow of income to the government. When they offer “income tax halt” as relief, they gain control of our labor. Because the taxes will come in from goods that we need. We will lose our power.
You’re absolutely right and the Democrats should respond by telling the legacy corporate media to go jump in a lake. Honestly, the legacy corporate media outlets can go to hell at this point.They are not our allies or pro-democracy, they want money, views, and to avoid being called liberal media
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
Like you said : us in Europe we stand against your crook president and we act against him .. Canada , Mexico and every other countries do too but from the USA we are only seeing " memes " on their social medias from the democrats and others , just :"blabla " but no action .
Dear Leaders of the Free World,
Fight him at every turn.
Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.
We stand with you.

Finally, someone with the stones to stand up, speak up and fight. The Dems had to see this shit coming.... they should have already had response ready. Canada and Mexico have been doing more than the Dems at this point.
BREAKING: David Hogg, a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting just been elected Vice Chair of the DNC.
CONGRATS!
You know who else is silent? The House of Representatives. The entity who holds the purse strings. When this all comes to a head, it's THOSE fools who have abdicated their roles in government who will be drug out into the streets by the MAGA contingent they've betrayed. We know they prefer violence.
Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system.
Treasury stays silent.
White House stays silent.
Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.
Pure fire. He should be Chair, actually Senate or House leader!
Get him in front of the cameras every single day!
Holy shit! Democrats, if you’re looking for a fighter, you found one— @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.
On 9/11, Canadians opened our homes to your people. In Afghanistan, our soldiers fought and died beside yours. We have been your closest allies, your strongest friends, and your most trusted partners. We deserve better from your President.
