Grok is Elon Musk's AI on Twitter... it seems it's getting somewhat woke.

Happy #MayDay everyone. Today (and every day!) we recognize the struggle for workers’ rights that shaped our country’s history. Be sure to find your closest May Day event and show out! www.mobilize.us/mayday/ Art by Madeleine Jubilee Saito

In the predominantly red rural town of Packwood, WA, 20 brave community members lined the highway on this May Day. With a population of 319 and it being the middle of the week, I am proud of our little town. @maddow.msnbc.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

While the May Day mobilization is still unfolding (many events will take place this Saturday, May 3), two more national days of action are in the works: 📅 Unite for Veterans mobilization on June 6 www.unite4veterans.org 📅 No Kings day of mass protest on June 14 👇

America Last

I know there's a lot going on, but I would like to highlight that Mike Johnson slipped language into an otherwise routine House procedural vote yesterday that now blocks Democrats from forcing an investigation into Pete Hegseth’s Signal scandal, through October.

Wow. And this is coming straight from Trump’s own Department of Commerce and these numbers are from BEFORE the tariffs went into effect. It’s never been more spelled out that he’s fucking the economy www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/b...

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Starting to agree. "Once the history of this weird period we’re navigating gets to be written, Jeff Bezos’s decision, as owner of the Washington Post, to stop the newspaper’s editorial pages from endorsing Kamala Harris will be seen as the move that changed everything." www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

Trump is about to whitewash the Holocaust

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters

📌Hold on, goddammit: If tariffs are so good for our economy, why doesn't the White House want us to see what they are actually costing us??????

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

Dimon in January on tariffs - “get over it”

HERE COMES THE TRUMP TAX!

Again, my wife lost her excellent job at a nonprofit Seattle hospital because the trump administration simply stopped paying medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, throwing it into complete financial turmoil the cuts are already here

Congratulations to our Canadian brothers and sisters on Mark Carney’s win as your next Prime Minister. Liberals were headed for a landslide win after Trump’s threats to annex Canada as a 51st state. Let's do this here in 2026, America, and retake the House and Senate! Well done, Canada! 🇺🇸💙🇨🇦

🚨 The Liberal Party will lead Canada's next government. CBC just called it; too early to know if it'll be a majority or minority government. "A stunning reversal," says the CBC: Conservatives led by *huge* margins throughout 2024, but Trump's arrival was a big factor in changing everything.

NEW EO 🧵 Within 90 days, the AG and the SecDef, in consultation with the Sec of Homeland Sec and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement

Breaking News: The Trump administration dismissed all the scientists working on the government’s premiere report on the effects of climate change in the U.S.

The Secretary of Agriculture announced yesterday that the Admin is about to ask Congress for hundreds of billions to bail out farmers because of Trump’s tariffs.

There's only one person who's allowed to enter someone's home without a warrant, and that is Santa.

can't spell tariffs without ffs

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

There's going to be an interview with Biden in like a month or so and he's going to sound much better than he did. Why? Because the presidency and the campaign trail are fucking brutal, they turn healthy 50 somethings into zombies, much less a man in his 80's.

Despite all the good he did, Joe Biden was “too old” for folks. So now we’re stuck with “sleepy Don” — a corrupt bigot for a president. Nice work, America!

If you think fertilized eggs have rights but 2-year-old US citizens with cancer don’t, stop pretending your concerns are “the children.”

Hell is the chatty stranger on public transport who thinks proximity equals obligation. I don't care why we're both trapped in the same awful space. Let me deal with the horror of travel in my own way, thanks.

NEWS: After canceling thousands of foreign students' immigration records — threatening their ability to study and live in the US — the Trump administration has reversed course and restored them all. It follows intense pushback from courts across the country. Details TK

Maybe federal judges will realize it's time to stop dicking around and time to start throwing people in jail themselves.

When they start arresting judges we’re all in a lot of trouble

Don’t obey in advance, he’s not even popular

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the consumer messaging app Signal set up on a computer in his office at the Pentagon so that he could send and receive instant messages in a space where personal cellphones are not permitted, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

If you want to know why the vast majority of activists and protestor are women, it's because in every dystopian, fascist fantasy, they're all slaves. And the men that DO protest next to them understand that. #Handmaids #ForcedBirth jessica.substack.com/p/texas-is-b...

Ya’ll no longer means “All” in TX! Not only will this affect abortion rights & trans rights, it will impact hormone replacement therapy for women in menopause. # MomSky

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Stop being afraid. Go on offense.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

🧐🧐

Just months after he became the head of the Catholic Church in 2013, Pope Francis condemned the “new tyranny” of unfettered capitalism and the “idolatry of money.”

Now I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see if Pete Hegseth sent military secrets to a THIRD group chat containing a mistress, a dermatologist, and his bodega guy.

This is known as a “Holy Ghost”
