Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

There are some things that the US government knows, but doesn’t share it because of the uproar it would cause amongst the people. The people need to know the truth. Whatever it is. Enough speculation. It’s time for the truth. We can handle it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Armored Tesla = Deathtrap Swasticar

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Shout out to everyone who told me Biden couldn’t fire DeJoy.

2025 and Democrats still don’t grasp Lesson 1 of “Dont Think of An Elephant.” NEVER REPEAT FALSE CHARGES

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I am so sick of hearing any Democrat saying they are willing to be “bipartisan” or “reach across the aisle.” Just stop that stupidity. If these fascists want to work with you let them come. Stop acting weak.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

like, this is just fucking insane. the government is pretending that it passed the Inverse Civil Rights Act overnight and everyone is acting like it's a real law.

We are in the middle of the most profound crisis of American government since the civil war and our idiotic political media can barely see it. Control of the US has been handed to a totally unelected oligarch whose politics are defined by close association with neo-Nazis and conspiracy theorists

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: the President’s actions today are illegal.   Cutting off people from healthcare, childcare, and other services is cruel. The State of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have.

Tomorrow would be a very good opportunity for DC news bureaus to send people from the public health, science policy, and defense beats to the White House press briefing instead of the usual White House correspondents.

U.S. oligarchs, pay attention to your counterparts in Russia! When Putin feels betrayed by his oligarchs, they tend to die by falling out of windows or getting blown out of the sky. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg & other rich bootlickers in the U.S., take note! http://dlvr.it/THcmnK

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Which house Democrat is going to go the well of the House and start listing off the various violent extremists who were just freed from jail after tasering Cap police officers, bashing their heads w flag poles, shitting on the floor in the capitol building, triggering one Cap police officers …

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Trump is pardoning violent criminals and drug traffickers in his first week. If Democrats can’t do anything with that, they don’t deserve to be in power.

Allies are assets, you idiots, a key pillar of American power. There’s no possible negotiation aided by these threats that will yield more for the US than the good relationships do. And no possible military action, no matter how smooth, that would leave the US in a stronger international position.

I like Tapper, but Jesus. The entire campaign was a firehose of lies and vicious attacks on vulnerable that resulted in death threats and bomb threats around the country.

Guy who has been posting like a Nazi and speaking like a Nazi and organizing with the Nazi Party in Germany that is now in control of the USA gives a Sieg Heil

Um. What the fuck? “Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.” Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

gonna start a movement to reclaim public masculinity by putting on a jacket and tie, reading books in public, being friendly to passersby, making funny faces at children, and petting every dog that passes.
