Don't be fooled. His foundation does a lot of real charity but it is still an entity that is under his control and he uses it to launder his reputation while supporting the systems that have allowed him to leverage his wealth for political power. Because of him, the covid vaccine was used as yet another vehicle for funneling wealth into the hands of the plutocrats even though it was mostly public funds that created it.

Like email but in the style of platforms like reddit, twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc. There is no one site to create an email yet you can send an email to anyone no matter who their provider is. The fediverse aims to do that but with other platforms.

Dem Senator Says Party Needs to Stop Attacking ‘Oligarchy’ and Focus on Losing

FTFY

At what point did I say we need to capitulate to these motherfuckers? The only way we're going to end this is fighting back. I mean EVERYONE including the judiciary.

That's the problem. If a deputized officer that is part of a local police force or national guard ends up having to arrest members of the DoJ, it could result in a standoff and give an excuse to our Cheeto in chief to declare martial law. I really fucking hope that doesn't happen or that our generals force him to back down but I very much see that as a possibility.

This is how civil war starts. If the judiciary starts issuing arrest warrants over this unlawful kidnapping, they may need to deputize officers that are not under the control of the trump admin which could pit our armed forces against each other. Best case scenario is the judiciary finds the arrest unlawful and the FBI backs down because they're being threatened with contempt.

They want to perpetually be the victim.

Yeah, pretty much
