Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

anyone, including those who claim to be experts saying that the Republicans are not a Nazi party are not just incorrect. They are trying to protect themselves from the reality that they are wrong.

“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Shutting down already-installed infrastructure in the name of government "efficiency" while also harming business competitors of a government official who just happens to have his own network of EV chargers.

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

I don’t even expect the FBI to acknowledge far-right extremist groups as problematic anymore. Nearly all investigations into these groups will likely cease.

People literally died from Covid while claiming it doesn’t exist. There is never going to be a wake up call for some people. A lot of people. It’s not about convincing them if they can’t be convinced. IMO it’s about overwhelming them entirely with opposition.

In filings, the White House has repeatedly told federal judges that Elon Musk is not administrator of DOGE. Trump today:

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Real security clearances take months of background checks. It is clear that these have not happened. Not enough time, and DOGE has hired a bunch of people who are security risks or hold white nationalist sympathies.

Really don’t think we can understate how much troll culture is now political culture

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Summarizing Elon Musk's government takeover thus far in under 60 seconds:

I worked on this story for a decade and he just said it out loud on Fox News

I think it’s important to analyze this activity in terms of power: 1. They are threatening current & future federal employees about what happens if they don’t follow orders 2. Creating openings for loyalists 3. Creating opportunities for privatization 4. Raiding for resources, money and info Etc

Highly recommend following this YouTuber @ydubs.bsky.social who made a really excellent video on why there’s no alt-left pipeline youtu.be/y8wD2d9uKg4?...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

The wealthiest man in the world who is engaged in a coup of the government is openly stating that his end goal was never about efficiency. It was always about white power and instituting what the new right tech world has called “the event” the moment which governments collapse and they take over

Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, and Gaza could not immediately be reached for comment

Elon is praising the Russian foreign minister. He's a traitor to this country.

A Delta plane crash landed at Toronto Pearson airport. The craft inverted and caught fire after landing. I don’t recall ever seeing anything quite like this before—here it is upside down on the runway:

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

Gavin Kliger, the Musk bro busting into the IRS… wait, is that the same Gavin Kliger who retweets Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate? Why yes, that is the same Gavin Kliger www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

Study suggests COVID-19 infection no longer grants long-lasting immunity. "Pre-Omicron, infection meant you had 80% protection against re-infection one year later. Post-Omicron, this has fallen to 5% protection at one year" Study: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.

I know folks hate seeing content from the other site, but the escalation implied in this tweet exchange is so severe that it needs to be acknowledged. Take the advice of so many other great folks dedicated to antifascist work with a wealth of experience of historical knowledge; you need to prepare.

We're heading into a pandemic within a pandemic, and that's not the only threat. N95 masks will save your life. Wear them. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/were-headi...

Republicans for much of 2024: "How DARE you call our candidate Mr Trump a fascist?" *President* Trump in 2025:

What's incredible is how there are thousands - tens of thousands - of stories like this, a genuine national crisis akin to a foreign invasion, and our elite press is so bubbled, so insular, that they can only cover it by writing "Strong leaders flex governing muscles" 700 times over. Pathetic.

It’s not what Trump posted that tells you where this is going; it’s how his people are responding to it that really tells you where this is going.

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
