I have released three new prints. This is one of them. They are all available now: tomgauld.com/shop

We knew Trump has contempt for his followers' safety. Now we know that Musk shares that contempt. Their vicious lies about disaster recovery programs are depraved in every way.

Anyone still on Twitter should ask whether actively supporting a scumbag like Musk is worth it. I can't understand why, for far too many people I otherwise respect, the answer is still yes.

and i reiterate:

BILLIONAIRES HAVE NO RIGHT TO EXIST

that includes congressional insider trading nepobaby, Warren Buffet and his liberal ilk

BTW: it's my head canon that UAW's Shawn Fein gives a shout out to Prof @annmlipton when he says, "every billionaire is a policy failure"

do not get distracted from billionaires endorsing Harris. on the contrary, get your protest boots resoled

@rbreich I’d like to thank Clarence Thomas, for without him and others with the same total lack of morals or ethics, I might still believe in the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.

Several U.S., European, and Russian officials told the WSJ that Elon Musk has had “regular contact” with Putin since late 2022. Russia's president has even asked for a "favor" to Xi Jinping regarding Starlink and Taiwan. ("Don't"). https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/musk-putin-secret-conversations-37e1c187

We're learning more about the serious threat that Musk poses to U.S. national security.

He's completely wired into America's security apparatus, and has been one of Putin's secret phone pals.

Democrats need to recognize that much of this got going under Obama, whose administration was simply reckless in trusting this guy.

Great reporting by the WSJ:

MUSK'S SHADY VOTER LOTTERY? HE'S SUCH A POS.
I just urged the Department of Justice and Federal Election Commission to thoroughly investigate this -- and I hope you will, too: https://act.commoncause.org/petitions/tell-doj-and-fec-investigate-elon-musks-shady-and-likely-illegal-voter-lottery/?source=email

This isn't even the first threat of violence caused by the right's lies and conspiracy theories about the hurricanes. Weather experts tried to debunk the insane idea that someone was controlling hurricanes to affect the election, resulting in death threats to meteorologists.

We need to make this stop! We do that by voting in the next 22 days. Every election. Every race. Every Democrat. #VoteBlue

Right-wing polls are pushed to discourage voter turnout and give a pretext for TFG to challenge the election outcome.

MITCH MCCONNELL
IS A FASCIST

but he isn't even like Hitler. if McConnell were a doctor, he would be more like Mengele.

that's how horrible a human being and how absolutely a fascist Mitch McConnell is.

"Seeing The Wolf in the Sheep's Clothing"

Europe has a solid understanding of Who, and What, Donald Trump is

America’s global image plummeted following the election of Donald Trump, amid widespread opposition to his administration’s policies and a widely shared lack of confidence in his leadership.

Now, as a second Trump administration is possible, a new 25-nation Pew Research Center survey finds that Trump’s international image remains poor.

Google News is plainly suppressing the Musk-Putin story -- you can't find it in "top stories", which is absurd.

@davetroy is being vindicated today. He has been publishing on Musk's relationship with Putin and Russia since at least 2021. This is a non pay wall link to the WSJ article about Musk's relationship with Putin. Remember, Musk has a lot of control over our space program and satellite communications.

LA Times owner has apparently barred his journalists from covering the scandal and uproar he caused by suppressing a Harris editorial page endorsement.

Big Journalism's bosses are killing what's left of the craft's integrity. https://www.status.news/p/los-angeles-times-2024-endorsement

@amyedge @davetroy that man should not have a security clearance. He shouldn't be involved in any government contract work either since he's now a political partisan.

October 25, 2020 – “We’re not going to control the pandemic,” Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows told CNN — suggesting that the Trump administration had given up on any attempt to stem the spread of the virus.
