Hey NYTimes — now you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

The best comparison is to rape. This is the government you get when you elect rapists.

My guess? Next month, the government fails to pass the budget and shuts down. Musk has control of the treasury and simply deletes the social security and Medicare databases. Who could stop him?

Just wondering if people on the right are agonizing over the wisdom of breaking the government and concentrating power in the presidency because of what a Democratic president might do with that power…. Oh. never mind.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

"When America sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. And some, I assume, are good people." --Greenland

Happy New Year, friends! Remember: That which does not kill us wins reelection and tries again. Be vigilant and keep a good humor about your every day and spread laughter and good will. It’s the best inoculation against autocracy and idiocy.

Between 2014-2018, Elon Musk's wealth grew by $13.9 billion but tax records obtained by @propublica.org show that during those same years he repeatedly paid relatively little (or nothing) in federal income tax: 2015: $68,000 in federal income tax paid 2017: $65,000 2018: $0 (published June 2021)

I’m no fan of guilt by association, but it does seem worth noting that on the night of the 2024 presidential election, a notorious German neo-Nazi group, AfD, met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and has since been warmly embraced by virtual co-president Elon Musk. Birds of a feather . . . 🦅

Here's what this means: Republicans are plotting to cut health care for seniors and veterans to grease the wheels for tax cuts for giant corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk.
