If you voted for him, you’ve already served your purpose to him.
He doesn’t care about you — he never did.
The sooner you realize it, the freer you’ll be.
1
He froze overtime protections, gutted consumer safeguards, and handed billion-dollar tax breaks to corporations and billionaire friends — while all of us regular Americans saw their costs rise and wages stall.
2
He weakened labor protections, rolled back workplace safety rules, and made it easier for companies to exploit workers. That’s not “America First.” That’s billionaire first.
3
He deregulated toxic emissions, opened protected lands to oil drilling, and rolled back clean water standards. Those decisions poison our air, our children, our future.
4
He’s attacking the free press, criminalizing dissent, and spreading lies that divide Americans against one another. That’s not leadership…it’s manipulation. And it’s what authoritarians do to control the people.
5
If you still think he’s fighting for you, look at who’s actually benefiting: billionaires, defense contractors (who are mostly his millionaire and billionaire connections too) and foreign countries where he has invested personal wealth. The Middle East especially.
The rest of us are footing the bill.
6
Even he admitted Americans would “feel pain” from his trade war with Mexico, Canada, and China.
He knew it would hurt regular people — and did it anyway.
7
On disaster preparedness: He’s hollowing out FEMA.
The people who save lives after disasters are warning they can’t do their jobs.
That’s negligence.
8
And people have been stranded. In Appalachia and across the South, families were left waiting for FEMA funds that never came.
In parts of western North Carolina, residents are still cut off — private roads and bridges washed out, no way in or out, and no federal help in sight.

Trump keeps saying “things are getting less expensive.”
The data says otherwise: overall prices are still up ~2.9% year-over-year, core inflation ~3.1%.
That means you’re still paying more for groceries, rent, services.
It’s not cheaper. It’s just rising slower — and slower is not the same as less expensive.
10
Reality check:
• Real wages up 1%
• Food up 2.7%
• Electricity up 6%
• Rent still climbing
Half of Americans say cost of living is their biggest fight. More than half are living paycheck to paycheck.

That’s not relief — people are barely surviving.

“She was 17” isn’t the defense people think it is.

Neither is “well she was 18 by then.”

When an adult billionaire flies a teenager across borders for sex after grooming her through power, coercion and fear — that’s not consent. It’s trafficking.

Consent isn’t valid when there’s coercion, grooming, or survival on the line.Image
Virginia Giuffre died earlier this year, reportedly by suicide, after spending decades trying to hold Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their powerful friends who harmed her and others accountable.
It is rape.

Buying two luxury jets during a government shutdown isn’t tone-deaf. It’s a test of power — seeing how much excess and luxury the public will excuse and happily pay for.
1
The Coast Guard’s original budget asked for one $50M replacement jet.
Somewhere along the line, that became two Gulfstream G700s worth $172 million.
No clear explanation of who approved it, or why. It was also added to the budget at the last minute.

This account has had 81m impressions in the last three months, yet my followers don’t even see me in their timeline.

They want me hidden. 🔥 The truth will burn everything down.
I’m outpacing major networks in reach (81 million impressions in 3 months) yet somehow not gaining the followers that should come with that.

I wonder why.

If you’re not following me yet or subscribed, now is definitely the time.
So when I say this platform is throttling independent journalism, it’s not a complaint…it’s a calculation. They don’t want me heard in this space.

Once more, for clarity: if you’d prefer I shut up, I’m open to closing this platform and pivoting to survivor advocacy — I can make impact there too.
For the low price of $30M (half in a trust, half in a nonprofit)
Otherwise? I’ll keep going.

🚩 An official government account calls for…ethnic cleansing.

They are word playing.

Wake up America. This will only get worse Image

History lesson: During the Third Reich, the term Remigration (Remigration der Volksdeutschen, etc.) appeared in bureaucratic and propaganda language.

🚨BREAKING
Florida Rep. Cory Mills (a key Trump ally and sitting member of Congress) has been hit with a restraining order after a judge ruled he caused “substantial emotional distress” to his former girlfriend, Miss United States 2024 Lindsay Langston, and threatened to circulate sexually explicit videos of her.Image
1
Circuit Judge Fred Koberlein ordered Mills to refrain from trying to contact Lindsay Langston, Miss United States 2024 and a Republican state committee woman from Columbia County, Florida.
2
The judge wrote Langston has “reasonable cause to believe she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence” — in this case, cyberstalking, as defined by Florida statute — without the injunction.

Im already throttled for telling truths so may as well keep going today:

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more journalists than World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq combined. Image
Nearly every one of them was Palestinian. They were people who risked everything to show the world what was happening.
This isn’t “collateral damage.”

It’s what silencing the press looks like.

It’s what mass slaughter looks like. Don’t look away.
