This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

We will kick nazi ass. PERIOD.

if you live in NY-17 (mike lawler’s district), our new job is to make his life a living hell. make him justify trump&musk’s bullshit in town halls. if we don’t flip his votes in the house, we bind him to trump which makes his inevitable run for governor as a centrist harder

Germany’s general election is Sunday. Elon Musk, Trump’s Nazi-saluting billionaire bro, is continuing to amplify enthusiastic support for Germany’s AfD — a political party rife with neo-Nazis. Chapters of the AfD are considered right-wing "extremist" groups by Germany's…

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Even on Gilligan's Island!

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

Interim US attorney Ed Martin has spent hours on podcasts talking about paying cash reparations to J6 defendants — and criminally pursuing those involved in prosecuting J6ers. Now he has launched an investigation into his own staff.

While it’s shocking to think in these terms, it’s clear that their actions so far are genocidal, especially if we’re thinking in terms of administrative violence and how the sudden removal of material systems of support and survival. Cutting off citizens from live sustaining resources = death.

Seen today in Lower Manhattan...

"In Norway, Tesla saw a 38% sales slump, in France sales dropped by 63%, and in Spain by 75%. Tesla sales dropped 13% across the whole European Union last year and are expected to fall further... Tesla registered only 1,277 new cars in Germany in January, a year-on-year drop of 59.5%."

Reminder: Tesla protests are ongoing - check here for protests today Teslatakedown.com

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

They're not going to stop at Nazi salutes. They're not doing it for the thrills. The Nazis built death camps. MAGA wants death camps.

Hey, local governments, pass laws in your states making it illegal to throw up a Nazi salute, like in Australia. Refuse to normalize the Nazi takeover of our federal government www.dw.com/en/australia...

The NYTimes apparently didn’t even consider Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC to be newsworthy until the far-right French politicians tried to distance themselves from it. And even then, the headline is “Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism from French Right”.

Don't be gaslit: They are Nazis. This is a Nazi salute. They are not hiding it, or dog whistling, they are announcing it. They have come out as Nazis. Show the people in your life these images all together. Make them understand this is not an accident, or a fluke. It is happening here.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t observe Shabbat — it’s an essential break that allows me to stop, recover, & look for the good. Today I planted pansies by our front door. Photos tomorrow.

NY Times served up propaganda for Stalin and Hitler, too

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“Remember, I can do whatever I want to whomever I want.” It sounds like President Trump, to the world. But it was Caligula, to his grandmother. Megalomaniacs end badly. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/o...

Donald Trump is a rapist. He doesn’t care if you’re a female or a foreign country.

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Trump voters lack empathy. We knew that already. They didn't care about Trump’s violent coup attempt that led to several deaths, his hate speech, the sexual assaults, his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, decades of fraud and refusing to pay vendors. Empathy, it turns out, is an act of self-defense

A quick video of the crowd outside the store in U Village #TeslaTakedown

FFS New York Times. They’re not *his generals. Unbelievable

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

trans women will be raped to death. they know this will happen. this is a crucial part of the steps to our genocide.

Internalize that the United States as we understood it on January 19, 2025 is gone. We are in the midst of rewriting the rules and reconstructing society *right now* and must adjust accordingly. There is no going back, so we must imagine and think forward

I keep getting better at adding alt-text and making it part of the rhythm of my online conversations by having this button on. Writing alt-text as my default means that I never forget it and it becomes my normal. Make alt-text your normal!

In addition to nationwide protests in all 50 states across the U.S., our 50501 Washington DC Chapter is having a PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE UNION March 4th! If you can’t make it in person to your local protest, consider joining this digital demonstration. INFO: www.linktr.ee/50501DC @polrev.bsky.social

"Hundreds, if not thousands of people" have gathered in London to voice their support for Ukraine. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #UKprotests #StandWithUkraine

We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Orwell and his wife Eileen spent their honeymoon fighting fascists in the Spanish Civil War. The Soviet secret police ransacked their hotel room in Barcelona. Orwell’s Spain journals are believed to be in Moscow to this day

Met my first duo of First Amendment Auditors yesterday. I smell Russia all over this nonsense. A suggestion if one of them is recording you; play Disney music, loudly. They stay JUST within the law, but Disney content means they can't monetize it because Disney lawyers DO NOT PLAY.

somebody in line for Jungle Cruise talking about "it just makes SENSE to audit the 150 year old Social Security people, who could have a problem with that!" and my husband LOUDLY and cheerfully said "YOU ARE SPREADING DISINFORMATION. ITS OKAY TO BE WRONG IN PUBLIC THOUGH." I love him very much.

The US is refusing to co-sponsor a UN motion backing Ukraine ahead of Russia's full-scale invasion 3-year mark. The US, under Trump, is joining the axis of evil

Ukranians have seen it all before. MR JONES. A must see film about Stalin’s man-made famine in Ukraine 1932-33. Directed by Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter Agnieszka Holland, and w/ the brilliant actor James Norton in the lead. www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...
