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

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

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.

This is such condescending BS.

This is how it’s done.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

Not even six hours apart.

Absolutely beautiful tribute. #SNL50 #50Years youtu.be/fXAbLeJyB0o?...

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington state, who blocked Trump's executive order re: transgender health care, says it is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are mass firing veterans. apnews.com/live/trump-p...

"the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees who had served for less than two years. That included researchers working on cancer treatment, opioid addiction, prosthetics and burn pit exposure, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, said Thursday."

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Zelensky is only half-right. The American people are still committed to our alliance with Europe, and specifically Ukraine. The US -- like Europe -- is under attack from Russia and has been partially captured by Russian collaborators. But we will defeat them.

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

Imagine the immaturity and cruelty that goes into a post like this. Zelenskyy has valiantly led a nation brutally and criminally assaulted by Putin and that has suffered tragic losses and destruction. And you think it’s cute to refer to denigrate him as a child. This a person with no soul.

jamelle is correct

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

This recalls Matthew Shepard. Horrifying and infuriating.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

He's preparing to do something really bad.

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

This is fascism.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Gov. Spencer Cox has signed HB267 which strips Utah public employees of their collective bargaining rights.

Nothing will put the “co-president” meme to rest better than an exclusive joint interview of the co-presidents.

“Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.” 🫣 www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

Not enough law firms is the answer. My law firm, @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social, will fight for democracy and would never work for Musk or any of the entities he controls. Big law, who is with us?

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

This former US Atty supports the courage of Danielle Sassoon, the acting US Atty in SDNY, who put service ahead of self & refused to let politics interfere with prosecutions. True American hero. Thank you for your service, Danielle. You are the best of us. Who's with me?

Manhattan’s U.S. attorney resigned just days after being ordered to drop the corruption case against New York City’s mayor. So did the two men who led the unit in DC to which DOJ sought to transfer the case. This is what public integrity looks like.

There have been some truly awful and egregious headlines on Gaza in the New York Times over the past 16 months but we may have a winner, folks. ‘Gaza Development Plan’

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍
