Support for Ukraine at the UNGA, 93-18, 65 abstentions; the US swinging to vote with Russia, which I’d argue is the most dramatic shift in US policy at the UN since its founding 80 years ago

We are now part of the axis of evil. Good thing you didn't want to vote for the qualified, intelligent, empathetic woman of color.

Delta, United American and Southwest all remain committed to hiring the best people while embracing diversity. Hence, they will continue DEI.

Super Bowl Lies and America's Dangerous Retreat from Global Leadership 500,000 tons of food rotting in American ports isn't just waste—it's a dangerous abdication of U.S. leadership that threatens global stability and our national security open.substack.com/pub/1nadines...

Reminder: All these good people billionaire Musk wants to fire are patriots using their expertise for the good of all of us—and they’re people who’ll lose their incomes, while we lost their expertise.

Best post of the season.

This has been two weeks of constant events that are more dangerous than January 6th or, I’d absolutely argue, even 9/11, and it is a damning indictment of American media that so many publications and reporters are too cowardly, too docile, to act like it.

Is Donald Trump Afraid of Elon Musk?: The president has long operated without anything resembling worry when it comes to appointments or executive action, but as his most powerful—and richest—political ally chainsaws his way through the federal government, some observers wonder if Trump might be…

While I hate having to fight such a delusional, incompetent, and convicted orange buffoon, I am really enjoying calling out all his bullshit. I am just ashamed that it has come to this and that it is required to save this great country. So I say to everyone, Lets make some great trouble this weekend

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ready for this one? Pubescent member of Leon’s demolition posse was fired from a cybersecurity firm for… Wait for it: 🚨⬇️🚨⬇️🚨⬇️🚨 LEAKING COMPANY SECRETS. #BigBalls www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Earnest Question for all college students across the swing states who did not vote for Harris because of Biden's position on Palestine? WTF WERE YOU THINKING?!!!!!

Musk has sicced his followers on the WSJ writer who reported on a DOGE staffer’s racist online, history demanding her firing. This is a tactic Silicon Valley’s neoreactionaries have been advocating for years: Pick a reporter, dox and harrass, make an example of them, make everyone else afraid.

NEW: Last year, Kash Patel received $25,000 from a Russia-linked production company to participate in a documentary in which Patel blasted the FBI as "corrupt" www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Scoop from @davidcorn.bsky.social & @dfriedman.bsky.social, whose questions to Patel got no response.

Musk must be held accountable for violating the U.S. Constitution. www.nbcbayarea.com/news/politic...

đź‘‹ legal profession! "With the Trump administration warning career lawyers to follow orders even if they have ethical qualms, pressure is building on professional legal associations to take a stance against efforts to upend long-standing norms of public service..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

"We are deeply concerned that unauthorized system access could be occurring across the federal government and could pose a major threat to the personal privacy of all Americans and to the national security of our nation," the lawmakers wrote. www.reuters.com/world/us/hou...

The cruelty is the point. How any active duty or vets can see this and still support this administration is beyond me. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

SENATE DEMOCRATS HAVE STARTED A MARATHON PROTEST TO STOP THE NOMINATION OF RUSSELL VOUGHT This architect of Project 2025 basically said he’d VIOLATE US LAW By taking money specifically designated by Congress And use the cash to fund whatever Trump wants CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW 202-224-3121

Tell Congress: Pass the "Stop the Steal" bill to prevent anyone from meddling with our payment systems and data Easy to use form, just fill out your address #EasyActivism #ArmchairActivism actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

And now this! contrarian.substack.com/p/musks-stat...

Tell Congress: Pass the bill to prevent anyone from meddling with our payment systems and data

Send letters to Congress right now--tell them to pass the bill to prevent anyone from messing with our payment systems and data. This has to end!

Halt every nominee, stall every bill, file every lawsuit under the sun, and call for impeachment and removal at a constant. Every single day, there needs to be some sort of major action.

Republicans are stealing from us to reward the billionaire donors who bankroll their campaigns. Democrats are fighting back. Listen to Rep. Crockett: "Everyday we show up for you. What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now."

🚨 BREAKING: The @aflcio.org, EPI, and four major unions have filed an injunction against DOGE and the Trump-appointed Acting Sec of Labor. They’re seeking a temporary restraining order to keep Musk’s minions out of the DOL’s data. More at @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/elon...

Starting momentarily: Two labor unions and the Alliance for Retired Americans are asking federal judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (in DC) to block Elon Musk/DOGE's access to citizens' personal information via the Treasury Dept. They're represented by Public Citizen and @normeisen.bsky.social

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Gotta love Tim Walz for pointing out the obvious… 🤣

We need this!! I understand it won't happen over the next 2 years but 2026 we take it!

@cnn.com :”The masked man went into the bank, pointed a gun at people and took all the money, raising questions about whether masked men can wield this kind of authority.”

Space X has been getting government contracts since the Obama administration. Tens of billions of taxpayers dollars spent on that pasty Pretorian fuck. That shit should never have started and it sure as he'll should have been ended a long time ago. Since 20fucking08

NOBODY ELECTED ELON.

So it took Trump all of two weeks to actually get to backing ethnic cleansing (a war crime) in Gaza. Fab job all you folks who thought a good way to send a message about your displeasure with US Gaza policy was to support help pave the way for this.

If the US Attorney is serious about prosecuting people for simply posting the names of federal employees online, there's a guy with a massive platform who did this to a bunch of federal employees last November: www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/b...

These billionaires don’t think democracy should exist. So it’s one or the other.

Thrilled to see this.

I think we should just all stop paying Federal Taxes. They don't want to give us the services we pay for, then good fucking luck

If he & others are Special Government Employees, here are some additional questions to ask: - who is the sponsoring agency and the supervisor of record? - have they filed the required financial conflicts of interest paperwork and have any conflicts been adjudicated? www.gao.gov/assets/d1654...

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Why target USAID when it’s <1% of budget? “USAID funds democracy-promotion programs around the world, including in European countries where right-wing populist movements are thriving. Musk has become an ally of those movements, some of whose leaders have specifically targeted the agency…” Gift link

In all seriousness if the US were any comparable parliamentary democracy every news channel would have a countdown clock anticipating him losing a vote of no confidence and being removed

BREAKING NEWS: The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s government-inspection teams.
