The DIY guillotine is the official DIY project of the coming decade.
The oligarchs say "let them eat cake". Fine. We know how that ends. #oligarchy #fascism
oligarchy
APROPOS OF EVERYTHING
there was a time kings and the nobility were thought to be untouchable; but we could, one day, be throwing red streamers from every billionaire's building while playing heavy metal from the rafters.

#Musk Seeks to Put $100M Directly Into #Trump *Political Operation*
#ElonMusk has signaled he wants to make donations not just to his own #superPAC, …but to an outside entity.
It is unheard-of for a WH staffer, even one w/*part-time* status, to make such large contributions to support the agenda of the boss. But there has never been someone in the direct employ of an admin like Musk, the world’s richest person, who is leading Trump’s #DOGE.

MEMORIAL DAY was NOT created to celebrate all US veterans. it was created to remember the +600,000 Americans killed during the Civil War.
there were no fixed federal dates for #MemorialDay and states & localities had their own; but the earliest recorded mass commemoration was organized by formerly enslaved African Americans:
“The Forgotten Black History of How Memorial Day Started” https://time.com/5836444/black-memorial-day/
never forget today is about the #CivilWar against the slave-owning #oligarchy
We all suspected it, now it’s confirmed.
