another example of how musk cannot be trusted to control critical infrastructure

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

I love that we now have both the most beastmode resistlibs and Musk's little Eichmanns agreeing the assassination was faked.

Senate GOP are lying. Full stop. Not “misinformation”. Not “misleading”. It is a lie. Knowing, intentional, from Senators who are aware of the law. Undocumented *do not* receive benefits. At all. Of any kind. State or Fed. No Medicare. No Medicaid. No disability. No SS. No food assistance. Nada.

Just now at SCOTUS, Mexico lost its case trying to sue gun manufactures. The court unanimously ruled that Mexico's suit is barred by the Protect Law Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). I wrote an entire CHAPTER about the PLCAA in my book, and why it was one of the law we desperately need to repeal.

Idk almost like the office of sheriff is a threat to democracy, not democratic.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

The argument that Musk might face *personal* liability for some of the shit he did in government should get renewed interest right about now.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday. They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials. THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

TRUTH BOMB 💣 this guy is a Pedophile. I also made him President

I'm actually super fucking mad that the Elon Musk era is gonna end because of narcissist infighting with a former reality TV show host, and not because even a single institution in American life made a serious effort to hold him responsible for a decade plus long crime spree

I wrote about the "highly unusual" case of a midwife arrested for violating Texas' abortion ban. Maria Rojas was arrested 3 months ago & still hasn't been indicted for any crime — putting her in excruciating limbo & denying her any possibility of due process. www.huffpost.com/entry/the-hi...

Big Crypto declares war on the Democratic Party

I tweeted this eight years ago as many Silicon Valley leaders openly protested Donald Trump's ban of people from Muslim-majority countries. Some of these same leaders celebrated Trump at his recent inauguration.

Hi! I specialize in medication toxicity. All available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines. Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

According to official sources, highway construction and “urban renewal” in Detroit displaced roughly 43,000 people during the 1950s/60s. Historians estimate the number to be far higher—closer to 100,000. More info: www.segregationbydesign.com/detroit/i75375

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

My latest — I wrote about Trump pardoning reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley’s tax and bank fraud convictions after their daughter praised him at the RNC vs. 18-year-old Marcelo Gomes da Silva’s wrongful ICE detainment, and how justice has merely become a presidential transaction. Read here:

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Btw, Kat was warning everybody about rightwing Dem donors calling LGBTQ and non-white Americans "The Groups" — and using that term to start throwing marginalized people under the bus — THREE (3!) months ago! This was before she was running. It is crazy how prescient this is.

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.

Also, this is the sort of investigation the U.S. government could conduct if it wanted more answers about the law of war compliance of the principal recipient of U.S. military assistance. But across administrations, the USG simply refuses to conduct this sort of inquiry. Willful ignorance.

It is amazing how many Dems insist that Dems have done things they absolutely never did, but which Republicans insisted they did.

In defiance of President Trump’s announcement last Friday that he was firing her, Kim Sajet — the director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery — has continued to report for work.

When a federal judge starts a ruling about the government's actions with an extended retelling of Kafka's "The Trial," you know the state of democracy in the good old US of A is in tip-top shape 🙃

Columbia completely caved and are getting their accreditation pulled anyways. Anybody that doesn't go nuclear on these people when they even sniff at you is nuts. *COLUMBIA NO LONGER MEETS ACCREDITATION STANDARDS, US SAYS

The correct response to a bully is "Fuck you, no" Appeasement never works

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY. None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened. Read the story below.

Curtis Yarvin, the guy recently profiled by the New York Times — who JD Vance has cited as a major "influence" — has a long thread over on X talking about how the U.S. military's temporary Nazi POW camps after Germany's surrender were basically the Holocaust

Oh we’re getting a RECESSION recession

This is very bad Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame

It is extremely bad that there is a particular type of Democratic voter who thinks that Democrats should fight for sex pests like Cuomo and Franken but not for trans people or Palestinians.

Law enforcement discovered a cache of weaponry and armor, including a machine gun and grenade launchers, along with Nazi paraphernalia during a raid of a home in Washington state connected to "a violent robbery and theft of military weaponry/armor."

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT ON SEAN FEUCHT This is wild! A full-blown website written & sourced from ex-employees & ex-leaders in Sean Feucht's various ministries detailing his abuses, financial misconduct, & general scumball-ery. Let me detail why this is important... 1/ truthandfreedomstories.com

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

The guy who gave Musk a pass on his Nazi salute wants the Trump administration to “put a stop to” any criticism of Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

Like what is stopping any cosplaying losers like Kyle Rittenhouse or the Proud Boys from doing exactly this?
