I take my HIV meds every day to stay alive, but also for the people who suffered terrible deaths from AIDS while begging for treatment. And how bout the kids left paralyzed and dead due to polio? They would’ve given anything for a vaccine— anything. What the fuck are we doing?

The Justice Department is dropping a big case against Elon Musk's company SpaceX. The corporate media are leaving a LOT out about it ... and treating matters of fact as question marks...

On the one hand, this "I'm powerless!" answer from multiple congressional Republicans is pure garbage. On the other hand, it's sure not "Trump/Musk are doing a great job!" Which (1) tells you what they're hearing, and (2) will tend to further hurt Trump's popularity.

If you want to know why Musk is running DOGE the way he is, read Character Limit. He’s literally doing all the same shit to the federal government that he did to Twitter: randomly ripping servers out of the wall, hinging employment on responding to a sweaty late-night email, etc. Because he’s stupid

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

This isn’t drugs. This is him assuming other people don’t work because he doesn’t do that much work. Very common bad boss behavior. bsky.app/profile/rcma...

The thing the right-wing took away from non-prosecution of W-era torture wasn't that they were fortunate that Obama was willing to look forward, it was that installing John Yoo's to write memos saying "[illegal thing] is actually legal" is a cheat code to rewrite the laws however you want

The real reason people say Musk is stupid is that every time he talks about any area that a particular person knows about, he reveals that he doesn’t understand the most basic things about it. Apparently this has never come up for Noah Smith.

I've never seen it stated so plainly: Joyce can imagine herself as an author whose book event is disrupted by protestors so she opposes the protest. Can you imagine yourself as a fired federal worker or deported immigrant? Wouldn't you want people to take drastic measures on your behalf?

The Democratic Party has been complicit in the Trump/Musk attack on America and until they start doing their jobs and fucking fight back against all of it they will rightly suffer the consequences.

There are over three decades of evidence that Israeli doctors harvest Palestinian organs in direct violation of international law. These stolen body parts were not just used for transplantation and research but for sale and profit. https://buff.ly/3CRrbd1 #Palestine #Israel

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

This is some weird stuff. Beyond the expensive ads praising Trump, he’s seriously perving on his DHS secretary, which is, no doubt, the only reason she is there.

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

The House GOP budget resolution target of $880 billion in #Medicaid cuts is a floor not a ceiling. It is AT LEAST $880b in cuts. The Energy & Commerce Committee could report even deeper cuts and there would be pressures to do that because of the priority of making the tax cuts as large as possible.

Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny — including the internship where he was terminated. “You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

If Trump withholds federal funding from states with strong governors that stand up to him, then those states should withhold all the money they pay in federal taxes. Just sayin'

I wish journalists expressed the same kind of outrage they’re feeling over the AP getting booted from the White House as they would everything else Trump is doing that’s hurting our families, friends and neighbors.

WaPo’s use of “unusual” further obscures the blunt racism of the white 3-star’s elevation. “Unusual” is a raised eyebrow; more accurately, this never happens. Until now. To replace a 4-star Black general w/ an undistinguished white 3-star ass-kisser.
