Germany has rightfully and officially declared the Elon Musk backed Nazi party AfD an extremist threat, unlocking full surveillance powers. Justice is back. Meanwhile, the Trump regime has naturally come out in support of the AFD Nazis.

Call to action: Economic Blackout on February 28. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #Autogenocide

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

The community note 🤌😘

A sickening perversion of the very idea of charity. We should boot these medieval dickheads out of our secular nation immediately

To everything, turn, turn, turn

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist
