Meanwhile, Musk’s tech toddlers are still in government agencies. They, together with JD Vance’s funder-mentor, libertarian billionaire Peter Thiel, are reportedly creating a massive government database of every detail the government has on each of us. Surveillance state in process…We still don’t know how much personal data illegally left DC with Musk - given this administration’s preference for criminals and disdain for law, my bet is all of it.

Only good news in this heap of detritus is federal government's databases are notoriously clunky. When COBOL was mentioned, hot shot techies rolled their eyes.

We are losing the America we love. There are no nice words for TACO Don. His illicit trade war is inchoate and malicious. The deportations are inhumane and a slap in the face to our Constitution. The attack on Harvard is an attack on Free Speech and academic freedom. The great harm Musk inflicted is best epitomized by his shutdown of USAID: over 300K are estimated to died as a consequence. The dismantlement of our government has yet to fully felt—but its coming. And, what do we from the Great Cheeto? Very weird tweets early in the morning. This guy has some serious issues. We are in free fall, yet from Senator Earnest this little homily “we are going to die,” praise Jesus.

Someone take the lead and organize resistance. Each issue. Every person. Everywhere.

If this were a satiric movie, would anyone watch? Or would it be too insane to buy into in any way? I really don’t know.

If someone does not lead the public to rebel or stop Democrats looking the other way I have a great fear for the future. More will die if doing nothing is the motto. He is starting with people of colour, then it will be all opposition starting with the Democrats. If anyone has seen a WW2 film of the concentration camps they will see where it ends. If this is not stopped I think there is a risk of nuclear war as Trump has a bunker and will believe he can survive. The sooner this is stopped the easier it will be. A worried watcher from Europe who is old enough to remember the fallout from WW2. American aid helped us all rebuild, that US aid is long gone.
