The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Chilling effect in full force...

GOOD! More angry white people! (and don't miss "That's illegal as hell!" at the end when he talks about ending birthright citizenship!)

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Former George W Bush US Attorney Carol Lam blasts DOJ leadership for politicizing prosecution of NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

Good to see the power of the people is still alive. We the people govern ourselves in a democracy.

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.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Literally. The only fucking person that needed to attend. OF ALL THE TRANSITION MEETINGS. And he couldn’t be bothered.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

The Trump administration reversed itself on making funding and staff cuts to a federal health program for survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, after bipartisan criticism of the moves.

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

Good for me but not for thee...

“We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed,” said Amy Paris, who had been working to help reform the US organ transplantation network. “That is the scariest thing in the world.” New: @anniewaldman.bsky.social @deldeib.bsky.social

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

These are legal immigrants the Trump administration is fucking over for no reason other than cruelty and racism www.npr.org/2025/01/28/n...

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Everything to do with Musk should be shut out of European markets. He wants to destroy us. It’s pretty easy to not let him. Close the door on him.
