Mike ProsserThe world's first Trillionaire is a mass murderer.
No, he didn't build a factory that negligently poisoned the air and water. Nor did he hide studies showing his product was carcinogenic. He didn't accidentally or negligently kill people as a side effect of making his fortune. No, it's way more evil than that.
Musk cut off food and medicine to millions of people on purpose, causing hundreds of thousands of them to suffer and die. He didn't even do it for profit, or do it in secret. He did it openly and gleefully, for no other apparent reason except to hurt people.

CelloMom On Cars"Latin letters do not hold hands. Arabic letters do.
To understand why every machine since Gutenberg has wrestled this script and mostly lost, you need one structural fact: Arabic is cursive always."

As usual, Big Journalism treats this as just another normal day, rather than what it is: another giant step toward right-wing dictatorship. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-funding-trump-congress-republicans-c395a434f47fa41a7131369847091910
House passes $70B bill to fund immigration enforcement for 3 years
House Republicans have passed a nearly $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies for the next three years and the rest of President Donald Trump's term in office. The bill now goes to Trump to be signed into law. Democrats oppose the measure,with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries saying the money would further fund Trump's “violent mass deportation machine.” Meanwhile, Republicans said they were fulfilling their duty to safeguard the nation and support the men and women charged with enforcing the law. The funding comes on top of the nearly $140 billion that the Republican-controlled Congress gave ICE and Customs and Border Protection last year as part of Trump’s massive tax and spending cuts bill.
