Weird... šŸ„“

In a cult, followers turn over their personal wealth to Dear Leader without asking questions.

What do we even need these for? And what happens when soldiers start dying in them?

Wow, $10 million for $400 million. Thatā€™s a pretty good deal for Musk. And Trump gets to pocket the $10 million for free, so it works out for him too. The ones holding the bag? The American people!

I wish Republicans gave more than just thoughts and prayers after mass shootings. Like by banning assault weapons. parkspeople.substack.com/p/leaders-in...

protests at Tesla dealerships have been popping up all over the country and a decentralized call for them to happen en masse on Saturday.

Hereā€™s the deal: You donā€™t get to claim victory one day and dodge responsibility the next. Youā€™re the presidentā€”at least in nameā€”and your party controls every branch of government. This is all yours, Donald. Own it.

Tesla stores and charging stations are now protest hotspots! Turns out, unelected Elon Musk and his fake government agency, DOGE, arenā€™t sitting well with folks watching democracy get gutted.

Newly signed Executive Order is pretty wild. Officially puts Elon in charge of radically downsizing all non-military departments, and all hiringā€”at a mandated (arbitrary) rate of just 1 for every four workers who quitā€”must now go through him. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Trump once again oddly refuses to confirm or deny that he's speaking with Putin (he clearly is)

I am ashamed to be an American. šŸ„ŗšŸ‘‡

NEW: Dozens of CFPB Workers Terminated in After-Hours Firing Blitz w/ @dmehro.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/dozens...

GOOD NEWS FOR DEMOCRACY: Federal judges are furious with members of the Trump administration. Numerous members of this administration are dangerously close to being found in CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OF COURT. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but not the defiant cabinet secretaries, lawyers,ā€¦

He's trying to run the government like twitter (burn it down for insurance money, make it a safe haven for yes-men only) and it's genuinely staggering that the opposition party isn't doing more to stop him at every turn.

SCOOP: Dozens of workers at the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau have been fired in an after-hours blitz. The emails they received were not even personalized.

Day 21. Another aviation accident. apnews.com/article/ariz...

nypost.com/2025/02/10/u... Finally I found some news but nothing on CNN or MSNBC or CBC. Thatā€™s just weird

AMERICAN VOTERS ARE STUPID!!!

Trump has been at one of his properties for 10 of the first 21 days of his presidency. Heā€™s golfed at least 5 separate times in that period.

Yeah, heā€™s just gonna keep on antagonizing Canada into full radicalization, and like, good for them

MAGA Grifters! From @couriernewsroom.bsky.social

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. Theyā€™re Trying to Publish It Anyway. The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of Americaā€™s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study ā€œtoo important to die.ā€ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

What have Democrats done for you today?

Elon Muskā€™s loathsome attack on global aid is already killing and harming many thousands of innocent people around the world. There is no punishment great enough for this evil.

The Department is effectively one of Americaā€™s biggest banks ā€” if there was a breach of this magnitude in the private sector, it would rightly be a national scandal apnews.com/article/trum...

Cowards!

ā€˜Peanutā€™, a Red-Eared Slider Turtle was trapped in a six-pack ring at a young age and couldnā€™t get out of it, and her body continued to grow around it. Luckily she was rescued and is now 40-years old and lives at the Missouri Department For Conservation and is ambassador for litter awareness. šŸš®

ā€œThe courts really are the front line," said Skye Perryman, the chief executive of Democracy Forward, which has filed nine lawsuits and won four court orders against the Trump administration. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

Elon Musk is very mad that people are realizing @BillKristol got $0 from USAID while Muskā€™s businesses got millions. Just our shadow president casually debating whiteness with his weirdo white nationalist followers. Normal!

Anyone who has studied the fascism, violence and pogroms of the post-reconstruction era of America would know that white humiliation / Black progress has long been this countryā€™s ticking time bomb. The historical parallels are 1920s Oklahoma, not 1930s Germany. But this history is often buried.

Gutting USAID will have a monumental effect on combating climate change. The agency was a key player in renewable energy and disaster protection around the worldā€”until Elon Musk showed up.

Calling Trump's actions a 'possible constitutional crisis' is like calling a lion a 'potential lion.' It's already hereā€”no need for 'possible.'

We desperately did. Democrats must reclaim the power of messaging and symbolism.

fuck it, I'm pitching an op-ed. "I'm a reliability expert who has championed testing in production for a decade. here's why I'm raising alarm bells about DOGE's meddling with DFS"
