when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

elon musk is the generational case study of how lust for power, unlimited wealth, and the desire for a century long legacy can make you one of the most evil people curruently alive in the world

We've had Presidents who had poisonous metal in their mouths 24 hrs a day and Presidents who boozed all day every day their entire life and Presidents who thought a big skull meant you were smart and also George W. Bush yet somehow in 2025 we ended up with the dog shit stupidest one who ever lived.

A quick review of Hassett's prediction record: – 1999: The Dow should soon hit "36,000." – 2004: "I don't think a [housing] catastrophe is very likely." – 2020: Covid deaths will peak in mid-April, then drop off. And no, he never raised any concerns about trillions in covid aid under Trump.

70 year old Senator Tommy Tuberville can’t think of the word “triangle”

Ok, but real talk? The sort of low-engagement persuadable Trump voter you need to flip is not going to sit through a serious policy argument, and would not understand it if they did. “He’s calling himself a king” they can understand. So run with it.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

seeing this chart set in he’s doing sex selective IVF for boys and that’s why he lost his fucking mind and became a hardline fascist when vivian came out as trans, he’s a freak

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

When you're definitely not walking into the White House zooted out of your mind.

Religious-right attorney Mat Staver says "we're at a ripe time to overrule Obergefell": "There is no so-called constitutional right in the Constitution to same-sex marriage. That's ridiculous ... Obergefell will be overturned. It's not an if, it's just a matter of when."

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

is it good if over half of americans think we currently don’t live in a legitimate state?

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

DOGE is a criminal enterprise to destroy the government to empower and enrich oligarchs. Any news org that uses the term "cost cutting" to describe DOGE is complicit and should be shunned.

I'm seeing reactions that "this is all a distraction!" but no, this is a pretty good illustration of Trump's authoritarian turn and a nice way to break through to normal folks who think he's doing normal things.

Lmfao

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

sure, groceries are getting too expensive and planes are dropping out of the sky every day, but have you considered you now have the Opportunity to invest in DookyCoin, the legal crypto that let’s me steal from you?

I can find the good in almost every town in Colorado (I’m even a Pueblo defender), and folks will think the Springs is the easy auto-answer, but they’d be wrong: Castle Rock sucks, in all the keys. Douglas County has become the grimmest land in the state.

(pointing to punisher logo on policeman's shirt while being arrested stealing baby shoes from Ross) thats fucking awesome . I love dead pool

i need a 52 year old man with $800 billion to impregnate my wife . i am worried our offspring wont be sufficiently feeble and/or annoying

Kathy Hochul continues to have the ability to remove Eric Adams at any moment

My 100th birthday... in prison? - This is abuse.

Literally all they’re doing is a private equity play. They need these offices so they’ll have to rent them back putting further strain on the budget and justifying further cuts (while their friends make money on the deal)

We're all gonna die.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.

if we get rid of all of the science funding, we're never going to find a cancer-free way to ingest nicotine. tech bros does this convince you

Hill staffers report Sen. Mitch McConnell was “trying to suck his own dick” in the moments immediately preceding each fall. Attempts to discourage him have thus far been unsuccessful.

super bowl ad not even kidding about this, do a super bowl ad about how Elon has your social security number and can shut off your grandma's check at any time

if you're a democratic senator and you're still voting to confirm trump nominees despite him allowing elon musk to gleefully dismantle the government then your brain has fallen out of your ass.

you can tell which events today were planned by dem leadership and their consultants (the bill to make illegal what's already illegal called "stop the steal") and which were bottom up, thanks to activists and younger members of congress (treasury rally). which do you think'll actually get coverage?

in a very real sense if donald trump and elon musk ignore federal court orders to execute the laws passed by the congress, and it sure seems like that's what they're doing, that's the coup completed. it's the creation of an unconstitutional authoritarian government
