If we don't impose consequences for bad actions, we set a precedent inviting worse actions in the future.

People think collapse looks like explosions and chaos.
Nope. That's in the movies.
Reality is different.
It looks like a nurse and a manufacturing tech who can't afford rent together.
It looks like a veteran using a bucket for a bathroom.
It looks like a college graduate delivering food for an app.
It looks like a 60 year old starting over as a server after 19 years at one company.
It looks like right now. It's already here.
Most people just don't have a word for what they are living through.

His crimes number in the hundreds at this point (at the very least), everyone has become numb to what this man is. He's the embodiment of pure evil.

Trump personally bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in technology companies and government contractors early this year, according to new government records. In total, he made at least $220 million in financial transactions. The Trump admin directly regulates some of these companies — and many of these trades coincided with favorable regulatory decisions. notus.org/money/donald-t…

Alligator Alcatraz is closing after one year and wasting $1B to house 1400 immigrants. That's an eye-popping $714,285 per occupant. Everything this administration does is filled with fraud and waste. wlrn.org/2026-05-14/des…

Threatening Iran from one phone while trading oil and military stocks from another.

Trump moments before he speaks as a prayer event in DC: “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! President DJT”

We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.

This is how the world ends. Not with a bang. But with stupidity and greed.

Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers — and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels. to.pbs.org/4c0Eh6n

@kevinolearytv Why are Americans against data centers and AI infrastructure?
1 - The consume vast amount of energy
2 - They create a lot of noise and heat
3 - They produce nothing of tangible value to anybody in the local communities
4 - They are being used to surveil and subjugate us further

Steel walls through National Parks
Black air
Iridescent water
Poison on our produce
Bombing our wildlife
But at least billionaires pay less in taxes.
VOTE.

The Trump administration has lifted the ban on cyanide bombs that kill animals. This action, carried out discreetly and quietly, was outrageous to those of us who know what this diabolical device does to animals. humaneaction.org/blog/2026/05/t…

I read something like this and I think: Some of us have been so focused on their authoritarianism and abuse of power and lawless that we’ve perhaps neglected to point out the additional fact that these are also just terrible humans—lacking class, grace, kindness or dignity.

Trump isn’t paying “reparations” to the J6 thugs. He’s paying them incentives to do it again after 2028.

“We will not defend Taiwan, and we are halting weapons deliveries to the island because they themselves want to start a war against China.”
— Donald Trump, May 16, 2026
P a u l ◉@SkylineReport
🚨 ANALYSIS: Experts are warning that if Trump signals he’s willing to “give up” on Taiwan during this China trip just to get Xi’s help reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the economic fallout could dwarf the current energy crisis over time. Hormuz already broke the global commodities system: • Oil shock • Fertilizer shock • Shipping shock • Inflation shock Now imagine stacking a Taiwan abandonment signal on top of that. That’s not just an oil crisis anymore. That becomes: • semiconductor panic • supply-chain panic • alliance panic • global market repricing • strategic collapse of trust in US guarantees Taiwan sits at the center of the advanced chip economy. Experts warn even the perception that the US is backing away could trigger massive selloffs, accelerate economic fragmentation, and push allies like Japan and South Korea toward independent military escalation because they stop trusting Washington. Translation: Trump may be walking into Beijing trying to solve the fire he started in Hormuz by quietly pouring gasoline on the entire global tech and security order. Hormuz is the inflation bomb. Taiwan is the system breaker.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.
Ownership quietly became renting.

The most self-evident thing in the world is that the President is committing massive fraud against the American taxpayer so he sent his VP out on a “Stop Fraud” tour as a kind of narrative jujitsu—because he thinks his voters are too stupid and partisan to notice.

The good people of Maine are fired up and ready to stop the fraudsters. Great event with my friend @MainePaulLePage.

Who specifically is the asshole who let you steal billions of taxpayer dollars, steal the election for a child-raping pedophile, and steal all the private data of every American citizen?

🚨 Florida is now shutting down its ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ ICE detention center. Estimates suggest over $1 billion dollars was wasted on the complex.
