I feel like this is my moment, as an American, to step up, because I have a lot of experience at ignoring emails

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

I'm surprised that wasn't the first thing turned off by Elon

The left needs to work with liberals because a) the left is mostly liberals even if people pretend they aren't and b) the number of people who are committed to leftist politics is absolutely tiny.

There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

Accidents down 55% and injuries down 51% since nyc congestion pricing (!!!) www.nydailynews.com/2025/02/22/c...

We're gonna look back at the media covering up Trump's senility in the runup to the 2024 election as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last century. Will be a defining feature of his presidency and get worse as the term goes on.

At least one federal workers union, NTEU, is advising members not to respond to the email. People at intelligence agencies have been told the same since NDAs cover a lot of their work and they actually can’t chat with Elon and his 19-year-old friends about what they’re up to

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Everyone’s so critical of Elon Musk today but I think he should keep combining ketamine and chainsaws, you’re doing great my man

his brain is just flashcards of seo keywords

I know this is more a #Blacksky story but i've been posting these MAGAFails for a while and... ...i like to be fair with my schadenfreude.

The dude is so coked out that it’s only a matter of time before his head explodes. Hopefully there will be enough left of the federal government when it happens.

Cars have destroyed Seattle’s tree canopy.

Wow…I had to double, triple check to make sure this tweet from Senator Smith was real. Rare to see a US Senator tweet like this. Not complaining, just surprising.

“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.”

I have a theory that there are exactly two kinds of cultures in the world. Those that recognize this immediately as saying "eat poison and die," and those that don't read any aggression into the businesslike curtness on display here. I'll leave you to determine where a brash New Yorker fits here.

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Along with the venal cruelty and existential consequences, can we pause to note that this is EXACTLY WHAT MUSK DID AT TWITTER? Beat for beat. Practically word for word. The guy hasn’t had a new idea or operational insight in a decade. He’s on autopilot while demolishing the U.S. government.

The GOP condemns Democrat liars & grifters unless those lying con-man Dems become GOP shape-shifters

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

Oops

Fuck this guy all the way to hell

Protestors in D.C. showed up for Ukraine amid the recent US betrayal and blackmail, signs read "stop Putin" #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

i genuinely think it was this specific genre of video that broke silicon valley's VC guys' brains, and 3 years later we're like tearing down the US Forestry Service because they think it's full of brunch-eating do-nothing-email-job remote workers

it is kinda incredible that hes managed to piss off the *actual* political appointees who themselves suck

every time you see this shit ask yourself: what have you done - this week - to make stronger ties in your community? we're all going to need those ties

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

First time back at Von’s in a minute. I really miss living upstairs. I think it’s a matter of when, and not if, I eventually move back downtown.

When Billionaires have a midlife crisis, beware.

Justice Department supervisors are directing employees to hold off on replying to the federal government-wide directive to describe recent job achievements — an Elon Musk order that DOJ staff worry will trigger ethics violations.

It seems like I should say something pithy, but really I just want to scream "Ha ha, eat shit you murderers." apnews.com/article/unit...

She didn’t need a “better message.” She was clearly the better candidate and that was enough. White America was too dumb and bigoted to see that. #NAACPImageAwards

this rich asshole in st. louis pointed a gun at some protesters and become a right wing celebrity overnight. conservatives were so enthralled by a guy who threatened to kill liberals that he got recruited to run for senate and raised over a million bucks in individual donations

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada." I stopped him. "Don't touch the Canadian flag." "Just joking," he said. "You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking." He scrambled out of there. #notfuckingaround

Goddammit. Now I’m sad again. We could have had this.

This is our city. We’re going to continue following & enforcing the laws to keep all Bostonians safe. And it goes without saying that our police commissioner has my complete confidence & support.

These modern day billionaire oligarchs should try being more like the wealthy industry tycoons of the past (dead).

The scale and scope of Trump and Elon’s purge of federal workers will set our country back decades. You can't just fire everyone, gut critical agencies, halt funding to organizations across the country and think there won’t be massive consequences.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

I feel sorry for the kids but these parents knew exactly what he was and were fine with him hurting other people's kids because they thought theirs were safe.
