Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Target's shareholders lost $15 billion of net worth in their holdings of Target common stock when Target announced they were dropping DEI initiatives.

The real fraud: $4,500,000,000,000 in tax cuts to the richest people in America $1,500,000,000,000 in spending cuts to things that make life better for everyone else = $3,000,000,000,000 added to the debt

“Broligarchs”, lol whoever came up with that moniker is a genius

None of the broligarchs knows what they’re talking about. They’re just hot air, spewing what sounds smart to them but is actually a telltale sign of ignorance.

We agree.

🚨 Update: we were able to track down Yesenia, the mother picked up with her 2 kids in Tucson. After a night of interrogation at Border Patrol station, the Venezuelan mother of 4 was deported to Mexico. Her husband and two of her kids remain in US. azluminaria.org/2025/02/16/v...

The Trump administration is literally just shipping brown people out of the US. They don't care if they are sent back to their home countries or not. Or if they separate families forever. This is so much worse than last time.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Gladys Mae West (1930-now), a Black mathematician, made pivotal contributions to GPS technology through her precise satellite geodesy calculations. Her once-overlooked work is now foundational to GPS. She was inducted into the AF Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2018. #BlackHistory

Yesterday I read Napoleon. Today it reads like an updated “Stand Back and Stand By” to me

Thanks to everyone who took part in #TeslaTakedown yesterday! It was a fantastic event, with large crowds across the US and several other countries. Here's a thread with just a few of the news breaks, from national outlets (front page of BBC News, baby!) to local TV news. TeslaTakedown.com

The biggest inaccuracy movies taught us is that villains are cool. Not talking about the moral aspects, just that they would look and act stylishly. Real world evil is so frequently dorky, schlubby and banal.

I ain’t mad at all my Canadian friends. You gotta look out for you. Apparently President Anal Musky and VP Tmurp think that the best country to buddy up to is Russia. And this particular American thinks that is bullshit.

Cancel all of their contracts.

Trump officials have terminated more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration without realizing that they oversee America’s nuclear weapons. They are now trying to rescind the terminations.

It’s a start.

Ok the “muskrat” is my new name I’ll be calling what’s his face

And their dimwitted mouthpiece Limbaugh

BREAKING:14 states sue to remove ⁦‪⁦‪Musk‬⁩ from our politics 🍾✅🇺🇸

Whether it's the White House, or reporters uncritically relaying its every utterance, those claiming that placing "DOGE" within the Executive Office of the President automatically "shields" its records under the Presidential Records Act are demonstrably wrong.

Sheryl Crow has sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds to NPR. “My parents always said... you are who you hang out with”

Left, Italy 1943. Right, the United States today.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

It’s not a constitutional crisis. A constitutional crisis is when political conflict cannot be resolved by existing rules. The US Constitution has procedures to deal with executive overreach—they’ve been nullified by partisanship. We don’t have constitutional crisis—the US is having regime change.

Spot on.

Our research university leaders are totally failing us in the authoritarian moment. Not even trying to loudly & publicly defend the project of academia or the institutions. Just choosing a combination of “keep our heads down” & anticipatory compliance. Shamefully inadequate to the moment.

As America's white supremacist rapey, drunk defense secretary bumbles & white supremacist guy named Vance (I don't know her) mingles with neo Nazis, German chancellor hits back at US at security conference as Trump administration upends norms #ETTD abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
