to some extent elon must know that a lot of people want him dead right. like you got to hope he is aware that a large portion of people in the world want him to die

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Hi! Disability scholar here. IQ is a deeply racist and classist metric weaponized by eugenicists and used to claim the innate superiority of the white ruling class. Stop listening to ppl who crow about IQ. Intelligence means nothing without compassion, humbleness, and owning one’s mistakes.

400 FAA personnel let go were workers tasked with: 🔹️helping aircraft safety inspectors 🔹️repairing air traffic control facilities 🔹️ updating digital maps pilots use in flight 🔹️making any changes that the FAA may make redirecting airplanes

I wish all Elon Musk a very Poetic Outcome

#TeslaTakedown Tesla stock is plummeting today

these are special trousers that stop him from humping the furniture.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangione’s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

Elon sure lies a lot.

BREAKING: today, mitch mcconnell, a republican senator working against the US for over 40 years, looked out at the country and decided, “Yup, my work here is done”

‘Free Luigi’ billboard has gone up in lower Manhattan the evening before his next court appearance. Sent in anon.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

NEW: We compiled and confirmed a list of some of the top people working inside the govt under the banner of DOGE. We even uncovered a DOGE-branded chatbot on one of the employees’ personal websites. As always, reach us if you have a tip or know what’s going on. ✌️ techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/t...

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

So: 1. Some people who took the deferred resignation program were fired. 2. Some people who were fired are now being rehired. This just underlines how chaotic the process is. They don't care about the damage they are doing. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

a president who stands up for Civil War memorials. but takes a wrecking ball to America’s WWII alliances and the legacy of the Greatest Generation who sacrificed everything for freedom

(to gas station attendant) hey man how’s it going. How do I set the pump to sips again? If I wanna drink some little sips? Sips don’t cost

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

In other news. (T-shirt design. Maybe)

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

Still hard to believe we voted for fascism with unemployment at 4.2%, the strongest performing economy in the rich world, & inflation, at 2.4% PCE in Nov 2024, closer to target than 85% of the months since we established it in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop.... Verily, a marvel of political economy.

Look at this li’l sweetie, eating her dinner like a little Rory Calhoun

if you have children, robert kennedy wants them dead, and i can’t tell you how to respond to that threat but

Here’s our Nami, before and after her grooming appointment today:

Is there any end game to making us less safe, less secure, that isn’t chillingly nefarious? I see the American press watching this out in the open like I imagine staff at Mandalay Bay saw the Harvest Festival shooter haul in trunks of ammo but assumed it was fine because he was a high roller.

I went to the zoo when I was 8 years old and a cockatoo bit my finger. They live like 100 years so I bet he's still alive and I'm going to go back and eat that fucken bird

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
