(📢) Please RT this 200-post thread on the eve of Elon Musk becoming humanity’s first trillionaire. I’m a Musk biographer, and my opinion—based on my research—is that he’s one of the most dangerous men alive. I urge folks to consider this before aiding in enriching him further.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Absolutley heartbreaking that parents of a man gunned down by federal agents have to put out a statement because the president and his cowardly minions are defaming their son. We’re way past sick.

Today, the Trump administration halted all offshore wind projects, including one off Virginia’s coast that’s practically done — jeopardizing billions in investment and thousands of jobs, and raising energy costs. You gotta wonder what’s really behind it.

Please don’t do this, America. Please don’t act like the Trump-Epstein emails we saw today were our first glimpse of something. Don’t buy the narrative that these emails are useful because they *hint* at misconduct. We *know* there was misconduct. You can read a fully sourced book on it for free:

{Book 1} Proof of Devilry: The Crimes of Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein

The available evidence places Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell at the heart of a multistate and multinational child sex-, sex- and human-trafficking ring whose discovery could change the course of history.

I can’t adequately express how mystified and nauseated I am by the conversation about Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize that corporate media is now leading. But as a journalist, attorney, historian and Trump presidential biographer I’m now obligated to make the case *against* in full. Here it is:

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

I worry that some folks will miss the real significance of this: Donald Trump knew that his border czar was a criminal when he hired him, and one of the reasons he hired him is that he knew his border czar would do *whatever he was told* in order to avoid having an FBI and DOJ investigation proceed.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

The President of the United States said, on TV today, that the U.S. should have a justice system more like China's, with quick trials that happen the next day. And most of the media decided that wasn't news, because .... you know what he's like.
