Elon Musk lost $16 billion yesterday, Donald Trump will soon declare a national emergency on electricity, recession fears grow to their highest point in 2025, and more.
Another day, another series of alarming headlines. Trump’s latest move—buying a Tesla to show solidarity with Musk—might seem petty, but it speaks volumes. Musk just lost $16 billion as Tesla stock tanks, and Trump is desperate to keep his far-right billionaire allies afloat. Meanwhile, he’s declaring a vague “national emergency on electricity.” The details aren’t clear yet, but given his history, we can assume this will mean deregulation, cronyism, and manufactured chaos to justify more power grabs.
The U.S. being placed on a human rights watchlist should be making bigger waves. Civil liberties are eroding—voting rights, bodily autonomy, press freedom—all under attack. If Trump’s second term happens, this decline will accelerate. And internationally, we see the authoritarian playbook in action: Putin setting extreme, unacceptable demands for Ukraine, banking on Trump to cave and leave our allies hanging.
We can’t afford complacency. Every one of these stories is a warning. Support real journalism, stay engaged, and most importantly—vote like democracy depends on it. Because it does.
And it’s chilling that “ local “ news outlets (SoCal stations) breathlessly announce the latest developments of Muskrat /tRump destroying our institutions without any in depth discussion of the ramifications and consequences for all of us. Yes, weather and traffic reporting is important, but covering whatever car chase, incessantly featuring Hollywood celebrities just seems like happy talk fillers instead of actual journalism. It’s why I tune in for only weather reporting and current events locally then move on to MTN, Substack and Blue Sky. It’s as if these MSM outlets have no idea or concerns that a great many people will be harmed by eliminating Medicaid, SSA, VA benefits let alone what that traitor felon has done to Ukraine.
I wonder if the national emergency on electricity (because let's face it, Trump doesn't care about those States) might be to divert from that human rights watchlist news item or other similarly concerning items.
I protested at a Tesla dealership last Saturday with 200+ people and will be back every Saturday. Follow Alt National Park Service to join the #resistance.
I feel like JFK jr should be taken to court for "war crimes against the citizens of the United States" since he has blocked the NIH from formulating vaccines for the flu, covid and others. Next winter many people will die without these updated vaccines. Is this a part of the Project 2025 plan to have vulnerable people die? They will literally and willfully be killing us.
We are all expendable, as they have clearly stated—we are non-combatants in their video game approach to life. They live in their heads on a very different planet than the rest of us who should be banding together rather than being at each others throats.
What does he mean " illegal boycott "??? We can boycott anything we want! I plan to buy only what's ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. That is, until I lose all of my benefits. Unfortunately, then, I can't buy anything; including food or my prescriptions .
What exactly is an "illegal boycot"???
You know Trump—anything that doesn’t support him and his plans is “illegal”.
Funny how now it’s an illegal boycott, but when Biden was pushing EVs it was against the oil industry.
Just a way for Trump to get MAGA all upset. Boo hoo no one’s crying Elon
No such thing it is his self made reality
So now its an illegal boycott not to buy a Tesla. Good grief.
Right?? Like "oh no! I bought a car and didn't even consider a tesla! Must have been a thought crime!" Lol
Exactly! All 🤡’s
All the poorest MAGAs running out to buy Swasticars they can’t afford. 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃🏃♀️
This made my morning 😂
Could the energy “crisis” be a pretext to invade Canada. I can’t believe I’m even thinking this.
Canadian here and had the same chilling thought
If The Annoying Orange invades Canada, there will be a number of us siding with Canada.
Hey, a Vermonter here...we would love to be annexed with Canada. My husband mom was French Canadian. Can we claim Canadian citizenship?
My husband’s mom is Canadian. We are pursuing dual citizenship. We’ll see how it goes.
I’m sorry as an American. I believe many of us don’t support this insanity.
Many of us don't, we're scared, but in support of the world's attempts to get Trump to stop this bs
My immediate thought up here in Canada. 🇨🇦
Trump created the situation with Canada and is now calling it a crisis? Damn right it's a crisis - his administration is the crisis!
I’m thinking it’s a way for the federal government (i.e. Elon) to take over utilities.
Take PUCO out of it and of course privatize it they will have us on rolling blackouts for money in their pockets
Just like naming the Mexican cartels terrorists
Whoops! Replied to wrong comment
Whoops! Now I see how things look here… replying to correct comment re invasion pretext. Ugh

And also yell your displeasure at this illegal and profit making move loudly.
At what point can we say this administration is a dictatorship that must be overthrown?
50 days ago.
He’ll lose every cent of that 250 million he used to buy America
EM has lost a lot more than that.. the 16 million was just yesterday, alone
According to Aaron, it was 16 Billion...
i hope so
We can hope!
DT ruins everyone that he latches onto, leaves them broke, like the my pillow guy. I love this for EM
And Guiliani

I wish I would wake up from this nightmare already!

Wait a minute. Elon bought him an election, Trump is now gonna reciprocate with a Tesla? What a cheapskate.
Donald Trump Is A Stupid MF Monster Elon I Hope He Loses Everything One Day Piece Of Shit Like His Lap Dog Trump
Everything Trump doesn't agree with is illegal 🙄 boycotts are a legal form of protesting, whether he likes it or not.
MAGA can’t afford a Tesla they lost all their money on the Trump shit coin 💩
Karma is a bitch🤣
