1/5 Elon Musk is attacking Wikipedia after failing to buy it in order to turn it into a Kremlin propaganda machine (he really doesn't want you to verify facts!) Image
2/5 Elon Musk has once again criticized Wikipedia and urged his followers to stop donating to the platform. He previously made an offer to purchase Wikipedia, and it seems that offer is still on the table. Image
3/5 Musk seems determined to hinder Americans' ability to easily verify facts or access information. He appears willing to do whatever it takes to make many Americans even more unaware than they already are. Image
4/5 Now is the perfect time to donate to Wikipedia to ensure it remains as it is and doesn't get purchased by a far-right oligarch who would transform it into a Kremlin propaganda tool. Image
5/5 Sources:
NY Post - Elon Musk urges supporters not to donate to Wikipedia after it spent $50M on DEI: ‘Wokepedia’
The Economic Times - Elon Musk’s $1 Billion Offer to Wikipedia Still Stands Image

1/7 Since returning to the White House, Trump has been buying time for russia in Ukraine.

He keeps stalling while pretending to act. It’s clear he won’t pressure russia.

But that extra time will end up hurting russia more than helping it Image
2/7 This delay is a gift to Putin.

Trump isn’t just doing nothing, he’s actively helping russia by refusing to act.

But time is not on russia’s side. The longer the war lasts, the more expensive it becomes Image
3/7 russia is overpaying soldiers to keep recruitment up and compensating families of the dead.

The numbers keep rising.

The longer the war drags on, the heavier the financial and human cost Image

1/5 No matter what you think of Charlie Kirk—political violence is never acceptable.

His assassination is a tragedy that will make the world worse.

It will deepen polarization, empower authoritarians like Trump, and fuel a dangerous cycle of retaliation Image
2/5 Trump, MAGA influencers, and even Elon Musk are already exploiting Kirk’s murder for political gain.

They’re using it to justify crackdowns, demonize opponents, and push the US further down an authoritarian path.

They are horrible people—just like Kirk was too Image
3/5 Kirk built his career on division, disinformation, and incitement. He called dissenters enemies, glorified guns, justified gun violence, and supported russia’s annexation of Ukraine. He spread lies to defend Putin and attack Ukraine.

I never agreed with him—and still don’t Image

1/6 Everything Trump does starts to make sense—if you assume he’s a russian asset working to sabotage the US and its allies from within.

From foreign policy to domestic chaos, the pattern is hard to ignore Image
2/6 He’s isolating the US globally:

– Attacked South Korea over defense costs
– Undermined NATO
– Started trade wars with allies
– Blocked cooperation on disinformation with Europe
– Made foreign investment in the US riskier Image
3/6 He cozies up to adversaries:

– Praised Putin repeatedly
– Sided with russia over US intelligence in Helsinki
– Downplayed russian war crimes in Ukraine
– Cut funding for investigations into child kidnappings by russia Image

1/5 We are no longer in the muzzle velocity stage of Trump’s presidency — the phase where chaos masked intent.

That phase is over.

We are now in the openly authoritarian, fascist stage.

The signs are clear. The time for euphemisms is over Image
2/5 @ezraklein recently noted: the muzzle velocity phase is behind us.

Trump is no longer accelerating toward authoritarianism — he’s arrived.

His platform is built on revenge, purges, loyalty tests, and dismantling democratic institutions Image
3/5 Trump has called for mass deportations, promised to use the military against civilians, and vowed to prosecute political opponents.

He’s praised dictators, threatened judges, and promised to purge the federal government of dissenters.

This is not drift. It’s design Image

1/7 Trump is attacking US allies and helping russia — again.

By cutting security assistance to European countries bordering russia, he’s handing Putin another gift.

The message is clear: loyalty to the US means nothing under Trump Image
2/7 The Baltic states — Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania — are among America’s most loyal allies.

They spend more on defense (% of GDP) than most NATO countries.

They buy US weapons.

They support Ukraine more than almost anyone.

Now Trump is punishing them Image
3/7 These countries received modest but vital US security aid — hundreds of millions over years.

They used it wisely: strengthening defenses, buying American equipment, deterring russia.

Now Trump wants to cut it — to “save money.”

It’s strategic sabotage Image

1/7 Trump has shown us — again and again — that he won’t pressure russia.

Putin has rejected every ask: ceasefires, diplomacy, meeting Zelensky.

And Trump still acts like there’s a reason to hold back.

It’s pathetic Image
2/7 Let’s be clear: Trump is the weakest president in US history.

But weakness is just the start.

He’s also the most corrupt, dishonest, unqualified, and openly traitorous.

He’s not defending America — he’s sabotaging it Image
3/7 Trump isn’t going to pressure Putin.

Putin is his idol.

Instead of confronting russia, Trump is copying it — authoritarian style, propaganda, attacks on institutions.

He’s importing Kremlin politics into the US Image
