#CapitalismisCriminal When billionaires - furthered by Citizens United - like Elon Musk upend democracy by owning what should basically be a public utility and buying legislators and even buying votes! Rachel Maddow MSNBC Ali Velshi Paul Krugman @RepMattGaetz blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

#CapitalismisCriminal yielded another term of Trump. Especially due to the 40% or more of the US populace who have a precarious life. Many don't buy his views but hope for change. Then there are the billionaires like with Elon Musk's Super PAC putting a huge thumb on the scale.

#CapitalismisCriminal Capitalism is a major source of mental illness, especially for the poor around the world. See the UN Special Rapporteur on Poverty and Human Rights report #BurnoutEconomy x.com/srpoverty/stat…

#CapitalismisCriminal 80% of the world and 50% or more of the US live lives of deprivation or precariousness. That is what has given us Trump and right wing authoritarians elsewhere. Grace Blakeley blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Elon Musk the fascist real US president Department of Government Efficiency called USAID "evil," a "criminal organization," "a viper's nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America." How ignorant, outrageous, and yes, evil (every word out of Musk and @realDonaldTrumpis projection!).

.Elon Musk's co-president, Donald J. Trump, is evil. "Shock and Awe" may be an understandable strategy in a real war but that is not how you treat people in peacetime. Where is the humanity and understanding that your policies are upending so many lives?! What an outrage!

.Department of Government Efficiency has nothing to do with efficiency. Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump want the destruction of the US government. DOGE is the culmination of almost 50 years of neoliberalism in a government by an oligarchy of billionaires. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Donald J. Trump’s political blitzkrieg – how can he get away with this?! The answer is simple – the Right is very happy! This is their dream come true! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Is Elon Musk stupid, ignorant, or a liar? The rationale for Department of Government Efficiency is the U.S. will go bankrupt due to its national debt. You don’t need Econ 101 to know this is nonsense! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

Plus there is no other rationale for Department of Government Efficiency. We don’t need government cuts but more spending. All our allies spend much more on government than 36% relative to GDP. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

A new US Dept Of Education webpage: “ensur[e} all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination.” Government policing of this is frightening. Grant applicants even worry about using terms like “equity.” Big Brother Lives! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

This country is only for Trump believers! Only for Republicans? The rationale for deporting noncitizens is if they undermine “national policies.” Half the country disagrees with Trump policies. You can’t be here if you take their side?! How outrageous! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Donald J. Trump just announced a trade deal with the UK. He couldn’t care less what the deal was. This is Trump’s Let’s Make a Deal Tariff Show, with 200 more deals-in-waiting to feed his narcissistic need for attention and praise. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.After I sent my previous post about Donald J. Trump and his tariffs I got the following message - "We’ve added a temporary label to your account which may impact its reach." They are censoring a tiny voice like mine?! What are they afraid of?!

.Donald J. Trump is a megalomaniac who sees himself as CEO of TRUMPUSA! He fits the description of megalomaniac by the Cambridge English Dictionary to a tee. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…
