$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

Just saw that Musk announced all federal employees have received it will receive an email asking them to report on what they have done in the last week. Failure to respond will be seen as resignation. Two things 1) malicious compliance 2) chatgpt was born for this.

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.

Ask them. Ask each GOP member of Congress if they support Vladimir Putin now, too.

This should apply to every member of this fascist regime IMO.

Sad, but I'm sure people can relate...

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt”🇺🇸🇺🇦

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Summary of the infuriating blockade of US medical research “This crisis...has already consumed one funding cycle” Carole LaBonne said. “But if this block to publishing in the register continues on much longer, it’s going to swallow two funding cycles, and that will put many labs out of business.”🧪⚕️

This will directly affect the future, & the present, of Pennsylvania & the country. Jonas Salk invented the Polio vaccine at Pitt. Pitt helped unlock DNA & pioneered organ transplants. Musk is offering a future where Americans are poorer, sicker, & less free. One word: NO www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

Adonis update: he's nursing on the baby blanket

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

Great.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

The thing about Elon Musk's Mars aspirations is that he's never even landed anything on Mars. Musk claims that SpaceX's Mars missions will start in two years. Does Musk look like someone focused on getting to Mars? The dude is a huckster.

Do something to make the fascists afraid.

⚡️🇩🇪🇺🇸 German Foreign Minister Baerbock threatens the U.S. with a severing of ties over Trump’s remarks on Zelensky and Ukraine. "We will increase pressure on the Americans to make them realize they have a lot to lose if they stop supporting Europe's liberal democracies," Baerbock stated.
