A lot of government workers go unnoticed—until they’re gone. The problem with letting the ultra-rich call the shots is they don’t see us. To them, we’re disposable… until the day they need clean water, a working 911 line, or someone to put out the fire.

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.

Literally yes. But these claims—which enrage me—show what is wrong with coverage of immigration in the US: the necessary-for-survival reticence of undocumented workers to be profiled; the refusal to publicize the actual record showing immigrant crime is lower than the general population; 1/

So, this kind of behavior is okay? Just Elon Musk during Trump's press conference. Meanwhile, when the U.S. President was asked whether he was concerned about reports that Musk might be using drugs, Trump replied that Elon is fantastic.

Who is this “god” they worship? This god of guns but not of grace. This god of greed but not generosity. This god of the womb but not of the woman. This god who cannot hear children cry. This god who fears dark skin. This god of America but not all of America? That's the Devil, yo.

“Bruce is going after Trump because Bruce, his whole life, he’s been about truth, justice, democracy, equality,” Morello told the crowd. He praised Harvard's free online course, which, as reported by Boston.com, teaches “how to recognize a dictatorship takeover of your country.”

Years ago, I made the observation that Mason Rudolph gave off a lot of Covington Catholic teen vibes during this altercation with Miles Garrett, and it’s nice to be proven right about stuff.

Video shows two unknown men, without uniforms or identifying insignias, attacking and kidnapping a man from a Nashua, NH courthouse back in February. During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

Given how much real world pain he's inflicted, it's insane that he managed to get a round of press coverage mostly focusing on not saving as much money as he promised and positioning his return to Tesla as some sort of chance at Wall Street purification.

Whether Elon Musk is serious about leaving whatever the fuck he was doing, everyone should remember that in the early stages of DOGE, he and his teenage accomplices ransacked, copied, and absconded with almost every US citizen’s most private information. The largest crime spree in history.

In the alleged Land of the Free, your failure to have a social media account, or your decision to keep that account private, can and will be used against you. No Facebook, Insta, or X account? You're probably hiding something, according to the Trump admin, so maybe no visa for you.
