Musk is creating a situation ripe for phishing scams with these intimidating and confusing deadline emails. "Is it authentically Musk?", "Is it even legal or constitutional?", employees are forced to wonder about rando high-pressure emails now. apnews.com/article/elon...

“I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.” "The real constitutional crisis is taking place within our judicial branch." apnews.com/article/trum...

Kiss Trump's ass, get legal immunity for corruption. This is just the beginning apnews.com/article/eric...

If the courts fall, that's it for the country institutionally. apnews.com/article/trum...

Minor bit of good news, the Proud Boys have to find a new name apnews.com/article/prou...

"I won’t leave. Put that in your brain." #FreePalestine apnews.com/article/gaza...

Here we go, Musk/Trump dictatorially shutting down a government agency by fiat, with federal LEOs ready and willing to enforce it "uniformed DHS officers and security officers blocked the lobby of the USAID’s headquarters using yellow tape with the words 'do not cross.'" apnews.com/article/trum...

Economic cuckoo puffs. Crash and burn everything All those voters who thought Trump would magically bring down prices are in for a shock, and retaliatory tariffs haven't even been announced yet. apnews.com/article/trum...

Meta/Zuckerberg to give Trump $25M, on top of the $1M paid toward Trump's inauguration. Who knows what other ways they've found to shovel money toward Trump and his cronies? apnews.com/article/trum...

It's not just national Republicans doing evil against marginalized folks... Atlanta killed an unhoused man with a bulldozer in preparation for MLK Day, just blocks from Ebenezer Baptist Church apnews.com/article/home...

The big scrub is underway apnews.com/article/trum...

The fuck?

Meta, Facebook, and Instagram abandon the fact-based world, promising "more speech," and we all know what that means, more harassment, bigotry, and hate. While the oligarchs and media mega-corporations continue to fall in line by obeying in advance, we don't have to. apnews.com/article/meta...

Jeff Bezos and/or his sycophants at the @washingtonpost.com don't want us to see criticisms such as this. Editorial cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social resigned rather than submit. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Biden is going to go out swinging for genocide and burying the truth, unrepentant. #GenocideJoe #FreePalestine apnews.com/article/gaza...

ABC rolls over for Trump, big time, setting a terrible precedent Trump shamelessly lies 24/7 and yet ABC completely supplicates after a host misspoke one time regarding the legal definition of rape in NY (common understanding is that sexual assault constitutes rape). apnews.com/article/abc-...

White supremacists would rather burn this country down, themselves included, than live in an egalitarian society.

Amazon to contribute $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund. Meta is also donating $1M They are basically bribes paid into a slush fund. Last time, Trump's inauguration committee raised $100M and no one knows where it all went. apnews.com/article/trum...

I didn't know the TV series Succession was inspired by the Murdoch family's power struggles. I'm not sure whether that makes me want to see it more or less now. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Have you seen The Invitation? I feel like, as a society, we are living through a similar scenario. Everyone is being polite, afraid of offending anyone or breaking decorum, despite clear signs that we're in the presence of a dangerous cult about to run amok.

Zuckerberg taking his turn kissing the ring. Corporate media obsequience is key to the degree to which Trump succeeds as an authoritarian. "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play." — Goebbels apnews.com/article/face...

A Pentagon report on extremism in the US military relied on old data, misleading analyses, and ignored evidence, grossly undercounting the number of military and veterans arrested for the Jan 6 attack, providing a misleading picture of the severity of the growing problem apnews.com/article/pent...

Watched the film #Resistance about #MarcelMarceau and the #FrenchResistance during Nazi occupation. I didn't know about his life before mime fame. I also wasn't familiar with #KlausBarbie, who wasn't jailed for his cruelties until 1983. I'll watch the documentary #HotelTerminus about him next.
