Elon's now claiming it was "Starlink," when it was actually Starshield that he restricted (per WSJ). An unelected civilian is making national security decisions based on personal beliefs, and the WH is only staying quiet because of his millions in donations. That should concern everyone.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Behind closed doors, the DoD has made a bad habit of classifying the minimal details they choose to tell Congress. Why? Because if it's classified, we can't talk about it and they can go on hiding the cost of this war from the public. No more. Americans deserve to know.

Reading this really fucked me up last night. I suppose rape profiteering has been around as long as war profiteering. They’re siblings. That said, there’s something about the unapologetic attitude of betting on the implications of gang rape that bruised the inside of my soul last night.
