I believe we’ll look back at tonight as a major turning point.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

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.

NEW: An email sent to several US agencies this evening—including those handling classified work—demands workers send 5 accomplishments from the past week. “The memo…closely resembles a note Musk sent to Twitter staff in June 2023” @zoeschiffer.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

Also, this is a *perfect example* of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

Goodemorning Gonzobongos! Pleez send goode thogts Dades way, he is at the emerging room with a hi blood pressures. He willbe okey, tho, donot worry, it haz gone down agin and he is being taken careof

this is the crux of it!!!

on top of this being unenforceable bullshit, many federal employees cannot even access their email on the weekend without a work VPN. others can, but (unlike in musk’s world) it’s actually frowned upon to access off duty.

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Also, habby #Caturday etc

What an day. Everything is okay naow butt for an while i had an worry and i donot like thoze. Everboddy pleez be nisce to me todaye.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

“We are the law.” Trump threatens Maine’s governor with cuts to federal funding when she refuses to comply with illegal trans EO. She says “I’ll see you in court.” The reply: “Good … And enjoy your life after, governor because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

JUST IN: A judge has enjoined President Trump's effort to block federal funds from going toward grant recipients who engage in DEI practices. The judge says the orgs are likely to succeed on claims that this is viewpoint discrimination, among other issues storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

"I have spent many hours with those cats, and still I am amazed at how perfectly they reject everything it means to be in prison. They are playful and unselfconscious, curious and silly, soft and cuddly."

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.

This is how it’s done.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

It employs SO MANY PEOPLE. Aside from the services it provides (as a government entity it SHOULD be providing a service and not making money), it employs so many people. Something like 600,000. A LOT of Americans that could lose their jobs and a lot of rural areas that could lose mail service.

“The numerous mistakes, according to people familiar with the complex world of government contracting, suggest that Mr. Musk’s team of outsiders, charged by the president with cutting spending, don’t fully understand it.” 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...
