Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

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 how it’s done.

French far-right leader Jordan Bardella canceled planned remarks at CPAC today, after ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon made a "gesture referring to Nazi ideology," according to a statement to French news agency Agence France-Presse.

This dangerous lunatic is dismantling our country for personal gain. We have the power to stop him. Hit the streets and make your voice heard at Teslatakedown.com

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

joe biden has said sentences far more coherent than whatever this is

Isn’t it time for the folks on the left who aligned themselves with the “anti-woke” movement to admit they were conned?

Nobody wants a psychopath who doesn’t give a shit about HIS OWN kids to make decisions that impact ALL our kids

the soy right

Libertarianism is both dumb and deadly.

I find it hilarious that CPAC is having Milei as a guest of honor after he crashed his country’s economy.

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

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

"[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about...the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy." - @aoc.bsky.social with @fedworkersunited.bsky.social today #SaveOurServices

it's ironic the doge guys all fancy themselves outside the box thinkers but their interpretation of government function is almost entirely based on 45 years of reheated dogshit simplistic propaganda cooked up by "free market libertarian think tankers" sponsored by IBM and AT&T

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

In 1776 the newly United States started a violent revolution that ousted monarchy here and established a representative democracy. That is the American tradition concerning kings.

Trump repeated the condoms lie last night after being definitely told it was false by the media and even Elon. It went from: - $50 million in condoms to gaza, to - $50 million in condoms to hamas, to - $50 million in condoms to Hamas that they use to make bombs, to - $100 million in condoms to hamas

Me when I see more people want to eliminate DOGE than the IRS

Credible death threats to politicians by right-wing extremists is a core part of Trump's authoritarian playbook, which is why Trump pardoned 1,500 credible-death-threat-making extremists on day one.

As the kids say, this made me Laugh Out Loud 😆

During Gov. J.B. Pritzker's annual budget address, the governor compared the Trump administration's approach to Nazi Germany. “We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” Pritzker said. to.wttw.com/430g2kE

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

NIH has a new center to study Alzheimer's & dementia It just lost 10% of its staff to the Trump layoffs, including a top scientist in line to be the next director "These people are experts and are irreplaceable" Important reporting from @gregsargent.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Man this one really took off. It’s always jarring when I randomly come across screenshots of my posts on facebook and reddit

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Oh, look. The House GOP Budget reflects all the evil cuts to Medicaid they said they'd do in Project 2025. Maybe take them literally and seriously.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

For people wondering when the right began falling in love with Putin: It was after the passage of the first anti-gay law in Russia in 2013. That was the moment GOP elected officials and rightwing Christian grifters started showing up on Fox to heap praise Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2013/j...

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

The other website is pretty much done

I suspect this is bloviation by Trump & Co. on what the order actually does. Without having seen it yet I suspect it deals with administrative agencies and their ability to interpret what they think laws mean and is not (yet) a flat rejection of court power to interpret law.

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
