Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

The best thing about the Trump/Musk beef is the threat to nationalize SpaceX. If only there were a government agency dedicated to building spacecraft 🙃

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

This is devastating heartbreaking news, indicating the wide-spread collapse of ecosystems, even in so-called protected areas. We cannot keep turning a blind eye to pesticides, over-development, and climate change if we want to survive it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.
