If instigating Race Riots or helping to elect Trump were Good

NEW: The horrific racist attacks in Belfast this week were orchestrated by young members of the global Active Club network—neo-Nazis that promoted using violence in Northern Ireland. @davidgilbert.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Elon Musk, on the verge of becoming the world’s first trillionaire, is whipping up anti-immigration tensions amid ongoing riots in Northern Ireland.

Musk called to prosecute politicians for allowing ‘dangerous third world savages’ into the UK.

Elon Musk spent 0 million getting Trump elected.

During this midterm cycle, he's spent million.

In total, that’s 0.0375% of his trillion net worth.

Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so.

We must get Big Money out of politics.
