We put a computer that could access all the worlds knowledge in everyone’s pocket and people mostly used it to spread lies.

“Disrespectful…to hundreds of thousands of veterans who are wearing their second uniform in the civil service to be forced to justify their job duties to the this out-of-touch, privileged, unelected billionaire who has never performed one single hour of honest public service in his life.”

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

He's a Great Replacement conspiracy theorist. It's not complicated and never was.

Absolutely enraging. Fuck this entire administration and the 77 million dipshits that voted for it.

“We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now. There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this.” —Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of University of California, Berkeley law school. Time to stand up:

I wish we had an audio feed from inside his suite…

Amidst the chaos and the law-breaking the most important thing to remember/focus on is that they are doing these things illegally because they know they don't have the votes to do it by passing laws, even in a GOP controlled Congress.

This hits home for me. Art, music, literature, science: these are some of humanity’s crowning accomplishments and some of the pursuits that help give us meaning and purpose. And they’ve made lives immeasurably better. Purposefully discarding them for political power feels fundamentally misanthropic.

One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/

The husband of an Indian-American wife and the father of 3 Indian-American kids wants to bring back the staffer who posted “normalize Indian hate.”

This is the tone we need. Where are the other Dems getting out in front of microphones and raising hell? Where is @warren.senate.gov? Where is @sanders.senate.gov? We need righteous, indignant anger.

“[Mike Benz] picks a villain, pretends it has ties to the CIA or some 'deep state' and acts as if he has inside knowledge when he’s really just decontextualizing public content” @noupside.bsky.social for @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social's 🔥piece on the Musk/USAID standoff www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

🚨BIG SCOOP: Musk’s DOGE Teen Was Fired By Cybersecurity Firm for Leaking Company Secrets Edward Coristine posted online that he had retained access to the firm’s servers. Now he has access to sensitive government information. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

www.wired.com/story/treasu... Turns out, the administration was lying when it said this 25 year-old, non-security-cleared, self-avowed white supremacist, Elon Musk stooge didn't have read/write access to Treasury's most critical and sensitive databases…

That rat bastard is the main reason sentient LL Bean vest Glenn Youngkin got elected Governor in my beloved Virginia.

I just checked on these US gov websites and it's there - though you don't really see it unless you enlarge the page. Confirmation that our worst assumptions about the new crew are justified, and probably not bad enough.

“Actually it’s good that a bunch of teenagers are unilaterally firing thousands of government employees because they have ChatGPT” i can’t get over how unfathomably stupid the average SF venture capitalist is

The MAGAs are quoting nazis.

Trump sows chaos in federal workforce then says “resign within a week and I’ll give you 7 months severance.” Don’t fall for it!  Trump told innumerable contractors he’d pay—then stiffed them. He has no authority to promise severance pay. Wait him out! apnews.com/article/trum...

On YouTube TV yesterday, there was a new menu on startup that gave new choices of shows to add to your DVR library. In this video I took, of the first 84 shows given as choices, *14* of the 20 national news programs shown were from Fox News. Why tf is YouTube TV trying to force feed Fox News to us?

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

What link is there between autism and sieg heiling? None, but ignoring the underlying demonization of people with autism, I thought I'd do some research and found this weird article...

Elon just did a sieg heil during his speech.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the apartheid emerald baron’s son who loves the AfD, is openly white supremacist and antisemitic, turned Twitter into a haven for that content, was sued for racist hiring and workplace practices, and who hates trans people, did the Nazi salute on purpose

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.
