Elon Musk makes a lot of social media posts. Most I find ill informed, usually intended to shape public opinion. This video explains why his recent comments about F35 fighters are ill informed as well. youtu.be/84qDazd0uF0?... Something like this for all his posts would be great 👍
Why is Elon Musk wrong on F-35 and sort of wrong on unmanned fighters?

I appreciate the "head up" posts about what Trump says he's going to do but remember, he never actually built the Wall. I'd like to see more content about how we counter the crazy www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
ACLU files lawsuit seeking details on Trump’s plan for mass deportation
The lawsuit alleges that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has failed to respond to requests for basic information about matters including flights.

I actually do some farming. Good labor has gotten difficult in the last few years. The work is hard, all kinds of weather, 365 days a year. Expect mass deportation to affect food costs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Remember what the French did for us during the Revolutionary War? We owe a debt that must be repaid!
Igor Kyivskyi@igor-kyivskyi.bsky.social · 2y agoUkrainians protect and fight for what they love and what is dearer to them than all the riches, crowns and thrones in this world. They protect their loved ones and their home. They defend what has no price and is more valuable than anything else - freedom and life.
Immigrants are bad? Both parties know their important for our economy. Illegal immigration is a solvable problem but it's also an extremely useful political issue. Go ahead a deport 11 million and see what happens. zeihan.com/undocumented...
Undocumented Immigrants' Impact on US Labor and Economy - Zeihan on Geopolitics
As of late, the topic of illegal immigration is getting as much airtime as Brittney Spears did in the early 2000s. And I hate to burst your bubble, but all those undocumented immigrants are probably d...

Just Jack@just-jack-1.bsky.social · 2y agoIn 2020, Matt Gaetz was begging Trump for a pardon. He was also under investigation for sex trafficking and on the verge of being sanctioned by the House Ethics Committee. Now he's a nominee for Attorney General for the United States. Don't ever let them tell you dreams don't come true.
What would the they think of us now?

BREAKING NEWS: Rep Thomas Massie tells reporters that Republicans will SKIP the confirmation process for Trump’s appointments by calling for early recess. “He’s your Attorney General. Suck it up,” he says. Despicable.
Dealing with friends and family that don't share your values? I've found it difficult to reach out for some time now, feeling guilty about not wanting to communicate etc. How could they be so callous supporting MAGA/Trump. They are still family and friends. We just have that much less in common.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves folks. It's great to be around friends but to make a real difference and preserve our democracy, we need to reach out to those who don't understand what's at risk. Educating our "other" friends will be the key to our success. It's going to be difficult!
