i get that he and his #Billionaire #Apocalypse #TechBros think they don't need #NATO, #Europe, or any other former friendly nation on their side. Fine.

But how long is the rest of the country going to let them break everything they're not stealing or don't understand? It will not be fixable in 2027 or 2029, it is either now or forever bask in the kingdom of #Ozymandias.

@randahl @glynmoody one of my #memetics theories is that social bubbles of people work like an island in evolutionary theory. Without feedback the extremism forms new memes to be the new normal.
The time of the #billionaire must come to an end one way or the other.

If a man has an apartment stacked to the ceiling with newspapers, we call him crazy.

If a woman has a trailer house full of cats, we call her nuts.

But when people pathologically hoard so much cash that they impoverish the entire nation, we put them on the cover of Fortune magazine and pretend that they are role models.

(Then when they give a tiny fraction of their hoard to build a museum wing with their name on it - we call them philanthropists)

@EUCommission Let me simplify your post for you: selling our privacy and data to #billionaire henchmen of a rapist, who is making deals with #Russia about us, behind our backs? Or is it just enabling #billionaires to launder more money in the bubbling #AI bubble?

#Trump admin seeks to halt #SNAP #food #aid payments after a #CourtOrder

Trump’s admin asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid a #US govt #shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people.

@pluralistic

#Billionaire is a mental disorder.

Cuz when you’re a #billionaire, who cares about pinching #pennies?

#US #penny production ends

Pennies are drying up faster than retailers anticipated following Trump's decision earlier this year to halt production of the one-cent coin. #Retail groups…are frustrated by the lack of guidance from the #Trump admin & lawmakers, forcing them to round down to avoid angering customers & violating laws in some states—potentially costing high-volume businesses significant #money.

#billionaire and #Trump mega #donor Timothy #Mellon “contributed” $130 million to the #US #military to help pay #troops during the #GOP shutdown. Trump praised him as “a great #patriot,” but the math doesn’t lie: $130 million covers less than 7 hours of the #military payroll or around $100 per soldier. “That’s 6.7 hours of pay for our troops." Mellon also gave #trump $53 million for his #texas #borderwall https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/us/politics/timothy-mellon-donation-troops.html

@EUCommission free movement of capital has become the #billionaire takeover and I don't believe it's any good any more.
The state as the democratic cornerstone cannot function with #billionaire economy. So free movement of capital must be replaced with new guardrails

Holy crap it was this completely insane freak who gave #Trump $$ supposedly for the #military.

#TimothyMellon, a reclusive #billionaire & a major financial backer of Trump, is the anonymous private donor who gave $130 million to the US government to help pay troops during the #shutdown, according to two people familiar with the matter.

A while ago I posted a thread about him.
I’ll boost it.

He is scary.
