Trump's kakistocracy will bring austerity, suffering & destroy the USG, climate, lives, livelihoods, futures...

The T admin will also be a plutocracy & kleptocracy; leaders & their chosen loyalists, will profiteer, even though the cabal of corrupt grifters are already millionaires & billionaires.

"He shares this distinction with presidents: R Hayes, J Garfield & C Arthur -led in the 1870s-80s -following Reconstruction -saw the expansion of Jim Crow laws & seg-."

"I considered waiting to publish this dire warning about what will be coming in the wake of the America-attacking Trump’s inauguration in 2 months, bc too many good ppl are being asked to process to many terrible things right now.

This simply had to be put to paper bc I'd be remiss if I didn’t urgently warn you that Trump’s takeover of our MIL is at the top of his dirty to-do list, but you REALLY need to read it."

Crypto investor Justin Sun paid $6.2M for a banana duct-taped to a wall, highlighting the soaring values of crypto & viral art.

Sotheby’s auctioned off the “Comedian,” created by Italian artist M Cattelan *bid online & paid in #crypto.

“It represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, & the cryptocurrency comm. -will inspire more thought & discussion in the future & will become a part of history.

Cupidity symbolizes the upcoming Trump admin.

More evidence of Musk's #electioninterference:

Muslims in MI saw pro-IL ads this fall praising Harris for marrying a Jewish man -another group filled the phones of young liberals with videos about how Harris: abandoned the progressive dream -working-class White men in the MW -warned: Harris would support quotas for minorities.

Ads were part of a $45M effort created by pol advisers to Tesla founder #Musk who'd previously worked on the pres. campaign of DeSantis.

Trump’s nomination of RFK Jr to run HHS: proof: pres-elect learned nothing from his experience QB'ing fed pandemic response.

The politicization & polarization that met that response: tragic -fail to take lifesaving precautions -& ultimately even to reject COVID vaccination -resulted in an untold⬆️in pandemic disease & death.

His latent distrust of expertise led him to whiplash b/w showing support for his own govt’s response & bursts of truly irresponsible-.

Big tech oligarchs/prv. tech cos. that profit from fracturing our shared sense of reality & siloing us in our algorithmically curated echo chambers -profit from surveilling us/scraping our data & from filling our feeds with misinfo. & AI-gen. slop -those oligarchs threw their full weight behind Trump.

Planned replacement of up to 50K career civil servants with pol appointees loyal to T:

This position is at odds with American public opinion. A survey from last Mar: 87% of said that 'having a nonpartisan civil service is important for having a strong democracy.'

"There're good reasons to doubt that" Trump can fire tens of thousands of federal civil service workers. "Statutorily," the civil service as we know it today was created in 1883 by the Pendleton Act..."

Elon Musk didn’t have to change a single ballot, he’d been indoctrinating GenZ men for years on X, convincing them that greed & corruption were good, the end justified the means, to be MAGA men, & vote for Trump. With
#electioninterference, he helped steal the election for Trump. My new analysis: 1)

"Senator John Cornyn has come out and directly refuted Speaker Mike Johnson by saying there should be no limits on the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation into Matt Gaetz. There is a battle brewing in the Republican Party."
-M Raju

It appears that a few Republican Senators are slightly more ethical than Speaker Johnson & the rest of the GOP Reps & Senators.

Polio vaccines were provided in public schools. Polio was dangerous: some become temporarily paralyzed; for others: permanent.

70 years ago, polio was one of the most feared diseases in the US. Children from Arsenal Elementary School in Pittsburgh, PA received the 1st injections of the new polio vaccine dev. by Dr Salk in 1954.

"Major oil companies were alerted about the planet-warming effects of FFs as early as 1954, newly unearthed docs show."

Big Oil & their enablers, are killing us, at an escalated pace.

The warning, from the head of an IDU-created group known as the Air Pollution FND was revealed by Climate Investigations Center & published Tues by DeSmog.

“Every time there’s a push for climate action, [we see] FF cos. downplay & deny the harms of burning FF.”-.

Musk didn’t have to change a single ballot, he’d already orchestrated a successful coup by grooming young men for years on X, indoctrinating them into the MAGA movement for Trump. He had convinced them that the end justified the means, greed & corruption are good & they’re far superior to women, through his bribery & technology. He knew he couldn’t force them to vote for Trump, but he could offer incentives that most of these young men couldn’t refuse. With his fraudulent scheme,...

Blue state govs💙:

IL Gov Pritzker warned Trump/MAGA, “To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom & opportunity & dignity of Illinoisans: I'd remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior.”

“You come for my ppl, you come through me,” he concluded. He's working on plans to try to limit the damage from Trump going forward -plans to pass leg. to protect the ID of abortion refugees & try to safeguard access to mifepristone +shore up environmental regs."

All is not lost. Blue state govs/officials are working to “Trump proof” their states & agencies. Orgs. like MoveOn/Indivisible are seeing record sign-ups. The resistance is energized.

Trump doesn’t have a big mandate: If 155K ppl in PA/MI/WI *out of a total 12.9M votes cast in those 3 states -shifted their votes from R to D, Harris would be our incoming pres. It’s true that voters shifted to the right, but that should be seen not as a defeat but as an opportunity.

Climate experts have been correct for decades, mitigating #climatechange would be cheaper than the catastrophic fallout of doing virtually nothing.

"Violent weather cost the world $2T over the past decade, a report has found, as diplomats descend on the Cop29 climate summit for a tense fight over finance... Economic damages hit $451B across the past two years alone."

Trump’s accusations of voter fraud stopped when he was declared the winner.

Before results came in, he was preemptively making claims of “cheating” in order to lay the groundwork for his election challenges had he lost to Harris.

2 posts on TS: T claimed: fraud in Philly & Detroit.

Were there voting machine problems? Probably not. Appears: some ppl just voted for T -little down ballot, but some voted for progressive cands. in R states.

Musk's corrupt influence?

"The chatter I’m getting -Johnson simply won’t pass an Omnibus budget, which means the🚨govt is done. Fed employees, update your resumés now.

If Putin does end up with control of the WH & both houses of Congress, I don’t think they'll pursue debt default; instead they'll just slash the fed budget nearly fully, which will have a similar effect, i.e. bring about a big FIN downturn.

The global economy is about to be f'ed up... Ppl have no idea, savings & equities are most at risk."

Many families in the US now face being torn apart.

Est: 1M deportations/yr could cost $967.9B in fed spending over a decade -would require congress. approval & trigger an “economic disaster”. Trump: “If I thought things were getting out of control, I'd have no problem using the MIL.”

IMG experts: require major INFRA, incl. new detentions camps. “There're a lot of ppl in our comm. living in mixed-status families, so mass #deportation -direct threat...

By torching the regulatory state, T/Musk pave the way for US' elite to plunder… A strong administrative state is the only thing that can protect: ENVIR from those who’d destroy it for their own profits/consumers from defective or even deadly products & food or drug contamination/defense against predatory banks/airlines/INSUR cos..

RU sits on hugely valuable natural resources -yet is a poor country. The profits from its oil/gas are in the hands of a few #oligarchs.
