Would I object to finding $5,000 in my bank account? No. Would I be fooled into thinking this is anything but a cynical distraction to pander to a public increasingly turning on Trump & Musk as they gut the federal government and rob the nation blind? Absolutely not. #DOGE #ElonMusk #DOGEchecks

"The term DEI, frequently invoked by the Trump administration, functions as a smoke screen" read @adamserwer.bsky.social on the real goals of the 'anti-DEI' rhetoric www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Really hoping #Ukraine is looking for an alternative to Elon Muskovy’s Starlink and can implement one soon

The war that #Russia is waging in #Ukraine is purely about Russia trying to preserve and expand its colonial empire and believing its current and former colonies owe allegiance to it.

I hope any #LGBTQ person in #Russia can get out soon. This is a really bad sign. metro.co.uk/2025/02/21/k...

Guessing Child Protective Services is next on the chopping block for Musk judging by these interactions.

I don’t get why nobody has tried to make a movie adaptation of Sinclair Lewis’s “It Can’t Happen Here” - even 90 years later, still one of the most chillingly prescient portrayals of #fascism in America ever. If I believed Trump read books, I’d assume he modeled himself on Buzz Windrip.

Other nations should see Trump’s attacks on #science as an opportunity to poach American talent that is no longer valued in the US. That’s basically how the US got physicists like Albert Einstein, while Germany became a leading pioneer in eugenics research. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“As the Trump regime tears down democracy, watch as I bravely become yet another ‘progressive’ contrarian who habitually attacks the Democrats while defending Trump, building my brand as Glenn Greenwald II”

Now this is something I can get behind. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm... Newsrooms need to agree that "an attack on one is an attack on all." Yes. "What is surprising — and disappointing — is the lack of collective action and response on the part of the press itself," writes Jim Friedlich.

To put it in corporate finance-speak, results fell a couple dozen IQ points short of FY 2025 guidance

You need to meet a Russian and a Ukrainian of the same age to truly grasp how culturally different they are—and to understand why Ukrainians are fighting so hard for their land and rights.

Even if motivated more by publicity than altruism, the 19th century robber barons like Carnegie, Morgan and Rockefeller understood it behooved them to donate money to good causes. But 21st century robber barons like Elon Musk are just purely selfish and don’t even pretend to care about humanity.

We're living in a dictatorship and the libertarians are nowhere to be seen. If anything, they're cheering on the fascists. I could have told you it would end like this two decades ago.

This is where the tankie version of events blows up like a Tesla. If Zelenskyy was a puppet of the US—if the Ukrainian cause was anything less than one of sovereign national defense—he would make wtv concessions the WH demanded right away. The Ukrainians are fighting their own war, not Washington's.

This is actually the primary purpose of this post: it’s the green light for the insurrectionist crowd.
