I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

When a critical part of infrastructure can be turned off on one persons ego trip, do no use that system, anywhere in the world.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I really fear that most of you don’t understand that we are going to have to defeat Nazis for real again. It seems like a nightmare removed from our everyday reality but a time will come (sooner than you think) when it will be up close and personal.

Kash Patel’s ascent reflects the corrosion of institutional integrity. A purveyor of conspiracies, loyal to Trump over truth, he now holds power within the FBI. Governance bends to partisanship, eroding democracy’s foundation—once more, a little further.

I don’t need a degree in history to know what I’m looking at. I don’t need a degree in journalism to call it what it is. Fuck pandering to Nazis.

People vote via mail, they share information via mail— this is wrong on so many levels.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

‘For years, Donald Trump’s servility to Vladimir Putin was dismissed as mere vanity or venality, an eccentric quirk of a reality-show president. Now, it is clear that the takeover is complete. On Monday, Trump spit endless insults at Ukraine and its leader while praising Putin without limit.’

Why stunned? The rest of us aren’t. Every breath he takes is accompanied by a lie. He and Musk are the world’s most successful grifters.
