"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...

YES!!!

I said healthcare is a human right and now Elon Musk is posting about “suicidal empathy” at 3 am:

White House security staff warned Musk’s Starlink is a security risk

You can’t tell me that the richest guy in the world and his army of techno engineers and hackers don’t already have access to the entire Epstein files. No scrubbing necessary. ✊🇨🇦✌️

If the police are worried about being doxxed it’s because they are committing crimes against the community. Good police officers aren’t afraid of the community they police. ICE is a terrorist group ♥️🤍💙

How to Exploit the Musk-Trump Beef to Save Democracy and Weaken Fascists Musk doesn't need a "redemption arc," & Democrats shouldn't ally with a sociopathic racist. Instead, the majority must exploit this fight to imagine a future without a broligarch thelefthook.substack.com/p/how-to-exp...

Ever since I became a Democrat earlier this week, I’ve begun to get messages like this. Good stuff. Thank you Michael. Way to go.👇

The fact that Dems don’t use this as a culture war weapon is crazy and my personal theory is that they’re worried about how it would also affect Bill Clinton

Supreme Court lets DOGE access Social Security data of millions of Americans

I posted this on Election Day 2020

The correct political tack here is NOT “oh good, maybe now we can get Elon to back some Democrats” It’s actually, “This convicted criminal sexual predator and his drug-addled Nazi billionaire just raped and robbed the US government and now they’re fighting over the loot.”

Dems cozying up to Elon would be a historic mistake. Elon with his illegal, hateful and deadly DOGE fiasco and convicted criminal Trump are both a part of an authoritarian mafia state. F them both.

Any democrats wanting to work with Elon- the guy just admitted to aiding and abetting someone he’s known to be a pedophile lmao. He’s also a Nazi, impressively embarrassing manchild and just overall a colossal dipshit. Embracing the support of billionaires will only cause your demise.

I honestly don’t know how any party that accepts this — and not saying the dems have — can ever again be competitive enough to overcome gerrymandering and voter inertia. The man did a Nazi salute. What are we doing here??

I wrote about why Democrats should absolutely not be kissing up to Elon Musk

Elon Musk is not your friend. Just a reminder for Democrats. Our job is to exploit this fissure and weaken MAGA and the racist right wing authoritarians and broligarchs. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

The way politics works is that Dems pass legislation like the IRA that are explicitly designed to spend more money in red states than blue states, and they get repaid by having the next president illegally seize the money Congress allocated to blue states www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

The predicted consequences of Trump’s massive military parade keep getting worse

Trump knows some of DOGE’s cuts are illegal — so he's asking Congress to bail him out

I’m so sick of the @democraticpartyhq.bsky.social. La is your opportunity to scream from rooftops that NEITHER Musk not Trump are fighting for the little guy. There is no “good side” in that fight. Get that effing message out now.

Supreme Court unanimously sides with straight woman in Ohio to revive discrimination case

Trump says he has no evidence to justify his unprecedented Biden investigation

These criminals hide behind political speech, but it’s not political speech - it’s psychological warfare against the people through manipulation of mass media. It’s harming the populace by making it impossible to know truth & media is complicit in furthering the lies. @msnbc.com @democrats.org

I have never seen a Press Secretary lie as much as this woman. I assure you if she was a Democrat, Trump would call her a nasty woman.

Democrats Should Stay Out of the Trump-Musk Feud and Enjoy It https:// nymag.com/intelligencer/articl e/democrats-should-stay-out-of-trump-versus-elon-musk.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub Posted into Intelligencer @ intelligencer-NYMag Interest | Match | Feed

Democrats are the ones that protect Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, while Trump and Republicans are working to dismantle the safety net. ❌ Just look at who voted to gut health care for millions of Californians. We cannot let this continue.  #CAStrong

Trump admin asked the Supreme Court to let it dismantle the Education Dept and fire hundreds of its workers. #tRUMP #MAGA #DEMS #Democrat #DemsUnited #StrongerTogether #SaveDemocracy #StopFascism #StopOligarchy #StopAuthoritarianism #StopBillionaires #Resist #GOP #donaldtrump #liberal #conservative

This is un-America and would not be tolerated in a democratic nation.

In 1998n Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin, became the first openly gay or lesbian person elected to Congress as a non-incumbent. She was also Wisconsin's first woman in Congress. In 2012, she became the first openly gay or lesbian person elected to the US Senate. 1/2

Oh it's true House Democrats are asking the Department of Justice and FBI whether it is true, as Elon Musk now claims, that President Trump is in the Epstein files www.joemygod.com/2025/06/dems...

Ha that’s right

“I have a sneaking suspicion that if [the Democrats were] in the White House, there will be a ‘Hallelujah’ moment and the Supreme Court will rediscover the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the limits of power,” Clinton predicted.
